I argue that Rousseff’s impeachment was facilitated by a conflation of two models of ‘corruption’ operating in Brazil, one legal-behavioural and the other religious-ontological. What happened in 2016 was a tacit conflation of these two models, along with their associated regimes for construing evidence of guilt. More specifically, congressional deliberations on Rousseff’s guilt allowed jurisprudential standards of evidence to be influenced by the evidential regime of the right-wing Fora Dilma (‘Out Dilma’) demonstrators.

Although President Dilma Rousseff has yet to be implicated, the political fallout from the scandal has been severe as she prepares to face another major protest. Meanwhile, Petrobras’ economic fortunes have gone from bad to worse, symptomatic of broader slowdowns in the Brazilian economy. Operação Lava Jato began in March 2014 under the auspices of the Polícia Federal. While at first looking into money laundering, the investigation has since uncovered an operation suspected to have moved R$10 billion (US$2.89 billion). This vast sum of money was allegedly used to pay bribes that would tilt lucrative contracts in favor of certain construction companies.

DOI – http://dx.doi.org/10.22409/contracampo.v37i2.1108 Abstract The tense relationship between media and politics in Brazil is well known by specialized literature. Getúlio Vargas, João Goulart and Fernando Collor are examples of presidents who did not finish their mandates and who suffered resistance from the press. This article argues that this history of the media in destabilization processes remains current. The hypothesis was tested from the observation of 34 editorials of Brazil's main print newspapers, during Dilma Rousseff's impeachment in 2016 and the opening of Michel Temer's investigation in 2017.

  • Understanding Brazil's Recurring Rocky Road for Leftist
    Understanding Brazil’s Recurring Rocky Road for Leftist Presidents By Mitch Rogers, Research Associate at the Council on Hemispheric Affairs On January 18, 2017, twelve Democratic congresspersons from the U.S. House of Representatives signed a letter addressed to the Ambassador of Brazil to the United States, Sergio Silva do Amaral. The letter expressed “deep concern regarding the current state of democracy and human rights in Brazil,” continuing on to accuse the political factions behind last year’s impeachment of democratically-elected President Dilma Rousseff of protecting corrupt politicians, passing hugely unpopular policies, and attacking political opponents. i Specifically, the letter suggests that former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has been unjustly targeted by both media outlets and judge Sergio Moro due to his continuous political popularity and leadership of Brazil’s Workers’ Party (PT). On January 13, a similar letter was signed in the United Kingdom by various members of Parliament and distributed via the Guardian.ii The letter refers to ongoing persecution against Lula, which began early last year. On March 4, 2016, Lula was detained and questioned by police on charges of corruption. Given there was no reason to believe that the former president would not have gone in for questioning peacefully, many interpreted the “unnecessarily spectacular,” highly- publicized, and forced deposition as a political attack to discredit Lula.iii A week later, São Paulo prosecutors presented weak evidence for charges of money laundering in an attempt to produce a warrant to justify Lula’s “preventative arrest.”iv According to the prosecutors, Lula had not properly declared his ownership of a luxury penthouse at a beach resort in Guarajá, São Paulo.

Currency regulation is a backbone element to maintain the competitiveness of the country’s economy, macroeconomic stability, and to stimulate economic growth. The aim of this research is to analyse the impact of the exchange rate of the Armenian national currency (dram) on the country’s export potential, as well as the choice of a currency regulation policy stimulating export expansion and economic growth in Armenia.
