Introduction This report presents the activities developed in the realm of the Research Program “Building Democracy Daily: human rights, violence and institutional trust” between July 2017 and November 2018. The main objective of the program is to contribute to the understanding of key issues for democracy in Brazil by investigating how the legitimacy of public institutions is constructed daily. The program combines innovative basic research with transfer of knowledge, publication, and educational activities, considered necessary aspects for the production of significant scientific and social impacts. Following the tradition established during the long history of the Center for the Study of Violence, the program seeks to form a precise understanding of the underlying mechanisms that explain the persistence of high rates of violence and human rights violations in Brazil as a way to contribute to fostering qualified interventions in the improvement of public policies. In terms of the empirical research, the investigation explores how the legitimacy of public institutions – specifically those in charge of enforcing the law – is built up in the daily interactions between citizens and the representatives of these institutions. In order to address this question, we are investigating the factors associated with the recognition and respect for laws and authorities, and to what extent the willingness to obey an authority figure is related to the way in which this authority is routinely exercised and perceived by the population and by its agents. The project has been developed in dialogue with contemporary international literature, which investigates legitimacy empirically from the perspective of the procedural justice model. Based on numerous empirical studies, this literature demonstrates that: i) one of the main predictors of obedience to laws and cooperation with public authorities is the population’s belief in the legitimacy of law enforcement institutions; and ii) an important predictor of the belief in the legitimacy of these institutions is the quality of the treatment they receive in daily contacts with its agents – fair procedures, impartial and transparent decision making, equal treatment, and respect. Our research tries to verify these hypotheses in the Brazilian context, taking into consideration its singularities, such as the violent and arbitrary control of public order by law enforcement agencies and the recurrent exposure to urban violence experienced by large portions of the population. 5 The research question is being empirically investigated from three different and complementary perspectives: i. Audience legitimacy: a longitudinal survey with residents of the city of São Paulo which investigates the perceptions and attitudes of citizens regarding the laws and the authority figures to which they are submitted and the impact of contact with law enforcement agencies on these views. ii. Civil Servants: a survey of and qualitative interviews with public agents responsible for applying the law (police officers and judges) to investigate what the literature calls “self-legitimacy,” that is, the confidence these agents have in their right to exercise authority and the perception they have of their own authority and legitimacy. iii. Legal socialization: a longitudinal survey with early adolescents to investigate their attitudes and perceptions in regard to different authority figures (family, school, and police) and the respect for rules and laws. Therefore, the study not only includes different perspectives for the study of legitimacy, but also combines different methods. The longitudinal approach – still rare in the field of social sciences in Brazil – allows us to study the transformation of social phenomena and to verify its causes. This is a valuable instrument for investigating social processes through the temporal isolation of events. In our research, the longitudinal study was adopted to try to demonstrate if and how the way public agents act in daily contacts with the population influences the construction and establishment of the legitimacy of public institutions. Also, it allows us to understand how people’s experiences with different forms of authority influence their attitudes toward the law and the state. During the first five years of the program, in collaboration with international partners, the Center produced a significant amount of original data, developed methodological innovations, and made substantive contributions to the study of the relations of authority and trust established between the population and public institutions. Efforts were also made to include the legitimacy issue in the academic debate through the production of articles and the presentation of results at conferences and meetings. During this period, the Center’s dissemination activities also included

  • Brazil's Parliament and Other Political Institutions
    BRIEFING Brazil's Parliament and other political institutions SUMMARY With an area of nearly 8.5 million km2 and a population of around 212 million (approximately twice the size of the EU with half the population), Brazil is Latin America's largest and most populated country, the biggest democracy (and, despite many observers' concerns over the current state of democracy) one of the freest countries) in the region. It is politically organised as a Federative Republic, formed by the Union, 26 states, 5 570 municipalities and the Federal District (Brasilia). The Brazilian Constitution establishes the principle of the separation of powers of the Union into legislative, executive and judiciary. The executive power is vested in the president of the Republic, who is both head of state and head of the government. The president is elected by universal suffrage, together with the vice-president, for a four-year mandate, and can be re-elected only once. The judicial power is exerted by different organs and courts at national and state level. Finally, the legislative power is vested in the National Congress, a bicameral Parliament with a chamber of deputies and a federal senate. Following the 2018 legislative elections, there are 30 different parties represented in the Chamber of Deputies and 21 in the Senate. Currently, the proportion of women deputies is 14.6 %, and senators is 13.6 %, one of the lowest in the region. Due to its history and its continental dimensions, Brazil is a very diverse country in terms of culture, population and religion. It has assumed a leadership role in the region, and has been firm in its commitment in multilateral world fora and South-South cooperation.

    Bringing the Public into Policymaking: National Participatory Institutions in Latin America By Lindsay Rose Mayka A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Ruth Berins Collier, Co-chair Professor David Collier Professor Christopher Ansell Professor Ann Keller Fall 2013 ABSTRACT Bringing the Public into Policymaking: National Participatory Institutions in Latin America By Lindsay Rose Mayka Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Ruth Berins Collier, Chair Participatory experiments have been adopted throughout Latin America in an attempt to reinvent democracy to be more responsive to all citizens – not just an elite few. Participatory policymaking institutions are formal, institutional spaces that engage civil society groups in policy debates and decision-making processes. Participatory policymaking is particularly strong in Latin America, where 12 countries require subnational governments to incorporate civil society organizations into the policymaking process in policy sectors ranging from health to the environment to agriculture policy. Yet there is great variation in what happens after participatory institutions are created: some participatory institutions develop a major role in policymaking, while others only exist on paper. This project seeks to explain under what conditions national participatory experiments become institutionalized. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Brazil and Colombia established the region’s most expansive national participatory frameworks, requiring dozens of participatory institutions across a range of policy sectors. Facing major legitimacy crises, both countries created participatory institutions as part of democratizing reforms that sought to amplify the voices of excluded groups and enhance accountability.
