The Wilson Center honors the memory of Woodrow Wilson by bridging his two pas- sions — scholarship and policy. At the center, we bring together the thinkers and do- ers — policymakers, scholars and business leaders — in the hope that a frank and open dialogue will lead to better understanding, cooperation and public policy. During my two decades as a Member of Congress, I traveled several times to Brazil to examine shared interests between our two countries like energy security, climate change and international security cooperation. The Brazil Institute provides a sophisticated understanding of these issues, and the prospects of the bilateral relationship on the eve of President Obama’s trip to Brasilia and Rio was the topic of the first discussion I attended, the day before becoming President here.

  • Ideas, Policy Entrepreneurs, And
    ENERGY REVOLUTION: IDEAS, POLICY ENTREPRENEURS, AND INSTITUTIONAL CHANGE IN BRAZIL FOLLOWING THE 1973 OIL CRISIS by Liliana Paola Diaz Barrrera A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland May, 2018 © Liliana Diaz 2018 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT This research focuses on the role of ideas in policymaking. It examines the Brazilian energy policy response to the 1973 oil crisis. Today, Brazil is the 10th largest energy producer in the world with a diversified and clean energy matrix. In the early 1970s, it was an energy poorcountry highly dependent on imported oil supplies to fuel an aggressive industrialization process. How did Brazil manage to transform its energy profile? To answer this question, I argue that it is necessary to study the policymaking process that led to the adoption of energy diversification policies in 1974-75. Structural, exogenous, institutional, and ideational factors affected the policymaking process and thus the resulting policies. Although structural and exogenous factors played important catalyst and enabling roles, I argued that four old Developmentalist ideas, namely, 1) national development through industrialization; 2) energy as a growing point for the economy; 3) self-sufficiency; and 4) technological autonomy recombined by able policy entrepreneurs who acted through centralized institutions and through the creation of new institutions explain the policy course adopted by Brazil in the energy sector. The result was revolutionary or transformational change in the Brazilian energy sector. The research contributes to explaining the role and impact of ideas in effecting institutional change in a less developed and authoritarian setting and in doing so, fills a knowledge gap in the academic literature on Brazil with respect to its energy sector.

  • Mercosur: a Failing Development Project?*
    Mercosur: a failing development project?* MICHAEL MECHAM The economic development of Latin America since independence is a story of unfulfilled promise … [It] … has remained a peripheral region in which external influence has been pre-eminent. Victor Bulmer-Thomas, The economic history of Latin America since independence The 1980s saw not only the end of the Cold War and the eventual dismantling of the Soviet Union, but also radical political and economic change across South America. While in 1980 authoritarian rule was the norm in most coun- tries in the region, by the end of that decade it had been replaced by some form of constitutional democracy in each of them. For example, military rule in º Argentina and Brazil ended in 1983 and 1985 respectively, and these two former adversaries began the process of moving towards political accord with closer economic engagement. With this decidedly more open world came the pros- pect of greater global economic integration. The concept of ‘globalization’ came to mean many things, but for developing regions such as South America it was seen both as an opportunity, to come in from the periphery through integrating into a developing global economy, and a challenge, of how to achieve that integration. The response was to embrace the ‘new (open) regionalism’ and the neoliberal economic model personified by the ‘Washington consensus’: trade liberalization and open markets, privatization, liberalization of investment flows, deregulation, fiscal discipline and so on. The creation of Mercosur in 1991 was part of the response to these various developments and challenges.1 At heart, it was a political project, bringing Argentina and Brazil closer together, with strong economic objectives.
