LADB Article Id: 50746 ISSN: 1060-4189 Venezuela's Membership in MERCOSUR Delayed by LADB Staff Category/Department: Region Published: 2009-09-18 In July 2006, the presidents of the four Southern Cone Common Market (MERCOSUR) countries Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay approved the accession protocol for associate-member Venezuela to become a full member. However, three years later, Venezuela has still not been granted this status by the South American customs union. For that to happen, the legislatures of the four countries must ratify the presidents' decision, which has not happened in either Brazil or Paraguay. The Caribbean country will surely have to continue waiting because in mid-August the Paraguayan government had to withdraw the ratification measure to avoid Senate rejection. And, in early September, Opposition in Brazil, Paraguay Brazil's Senate approved a censure motion against Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, making it likely that the MERCOSUR membership petition, to be addressed this month, will suffer the same fate in Brazil as it did in Paraguay. -

Does Amazonia Belong to the World?
The Jus Semper Global Alliance In Pursuit of the People and Planet Paradigm Sustainable Human Development October 2020 COMMENTARIES ON TRUE DEMOCRACY AND CAPITALISM Does Amazonia Belong to the World? The policy of Brazil’s Jair Bolsonaro and his government is to deforest the region. What right do other nations have to give it legally protected status and intervene to enforce that? Renaud Lambert rench president Emmanuel Macron thinks of himself as leading the resistance to his F illiberal counterparts in other countries.1 He started with Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán, and moved on to Matteo Salvini, head of Italy’s (Northern) League. The wildfires that have been destroying the Amazonian rainforest this year gave him an ideal new adversary: Brazil’s far-right president Jair Bolsonaro, misogynist, homophobe and climate sceptic. In August, Science magazine established a link between the smoke that darkens Brazil’s skies as far as São Paulo and its government’s policy of deforestation.2 Macron suggested the rainforest should be given protected status under The fires that kill: blaze in Nova Santa Helena municipality in northern Mato Grosso state this August - João Laet · AFP · Getty international law ‘if a sovereign state took concrete actions that clearly went against the interest of the planet’.3 1↩ See Serge Halimi and Pierre Rimbert, ‘Not the world order we wanted’, Le Monde diplomatique, English edition, September 2018. 2 ↩See Herton Escobar, ‘There’s no doubt that Brazil’s fires are linked to deforestation, scientists say’, Science, American Association for the Advancement of Science, Washington DC, 26 August 2019. -

RESUMO Este artigo apresenta os primeiros resultados de uma pesquisa sobre a administração da Presidência brasileira e problemas de governança democrática no Brasil. São criticados viéses eurocêntricos nas análises de presidencialismo, democracia, governança e representação, e são propostas novas análises comparativas de experiências políticas nas Américas. Esta análise da Presidência brasileira revela novos padrões de representação determinados pelo Executivo e um novo estilo de governança aberta e pluralista no recente período de pós-transição. ABSTRACT This article presents the first results of research on the organization and administration of the Brazilian presidency and problems of democratic governance in Brazil. Biases of Euro-centrism in current views of presidentialism, democracy, governance, and representation are criticized and new comparative analysis of political experiences in the Americas called for. Initial analysis of the Brazilian presidency reveals a unique combination of executive-led electoral representation and muddling through governance since the transition from military rule.

SÉRIE ANTROPOLOGIA 301 PULP FICTIONS of INDIGENISM Alcida
SÉRIE ANTROPOLOGIA 301 PULP FICTIONS OF INDIGENISM Alcida Rita Ramos Brasília 2001 Pulp Fictions of Indigenism Alcida Rita Ramos Universidade de Brasília An American Orientalism Were I to write in Portuguese (or in Spanish, had I the skills), I would be hard pressed to justify my use of the concept of Indigenism. While in Latin American countries indigenismo invariably means state policy or indigenous organizing against national pressures (see, for instance, Jackson's 1989 definition of Indigenism as "self-conscious indigenism"), what I wish to convey with Indigenism is much more than this. The fact that the word in English has no such connotation helps me delimit my field of interest. As I interpret it, Indigenism comes closer to being a sort of American Orientalism, or, in Coronil's conception, "Occidentalism", that is, "representational practices whose effect is to present non-Western peoples as the Other of a Western self" (Coronil 1997: xi). In the specific case of Brazil, Indigenism is clearly an ideological apparatus which includes not only state policies, but especially the vast repertoire of images, attitudes, and actions that both non-Indians and Indians have produced along the history of the country's interethnic front. The present analysis is part of a larger project whose main purpose is to understand the Brazilian nation by means of the representations it has made of its Indians in the last 500 years. The multiplicity of these representations and of their authors renders the study of Indigenism a very complex and seemingly -
Cuad.CLAEH Vol.1 No.Se Montevideo 2006 'Brazil Needs to Change'. Change As Iteration and the Iteration of Change in Brazil 2
Cuad.CLAEH vol.1 no.se Montevideo 2006 ‘Brazil Needs to Change’. Change as Iteration and the Iteration of Change in Brazil’s 2002 Presidential Election 1 Francisco Panizza* Department of Government, The London School of Economics and Political Science Astract Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s triumph in Brazil’s 2002 presidential election was construed in terms of a promise of radical change, and so against the holders of the status quo. This article argues that in fact a more subtle political game was a stake in the election, a contest over the meaning and limits of change itself. The article examines how the various players Lula da Silva, outgoing president Fernando Henrique Cardoso and the PSDB’s presidential candidate José Serra invoked and iterated a discourse of change to define and redefine the political dividing lines that marked out the electoral dispute and attempted to set or fix the distinctions between their political positions. Keywords: Brazil, campaign, change, continuity, discourse, election, iteration, Lula, rupture. Introduction Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s triumph in Brazil’s presidential election in October 2002 invoked the image of a radical turn in the country’s politics, perhaps only comparable with the triumph of Chile’s Unidad Popular in 1970. Many analysts saw it as a defining moment in Brazilian political history. One of the country’s most renowned intellectuals,the sociologist Francisco De Oliveira, described the election as a landmark comparable only with defining events such as the abolition of slavery, the proclamation of the Republic, and the Revolution of 1930.2 Another scholar, the historian JoséMurilo de Carvalho, claimed that Lula’s victory marked ‘a turning point in the country’s republican history’.3 Political scientist Wanderley Guillerme Dos Santos argued that 2002 saw the country’s ‘first critical 1 I thank Benjamín Arditi, Vicente Palermo and two anonymous reviewers for their helpful comments. -
Brazil of Biofuels
The launch of this report on the impacts of 2008’s sugarcane harvest marks the conclusion of the first cycle of activities of the Biofuel Watch Center (BWC) of NGO Repórter Brasil. SUGARCANE This research on sugarcane, an expanding crop facing the ethanol global boom, brings an alert on the contrast between the wealth and poverty that characterizes the sector: on the one hand, high investments from national and international groups guarantee cutting- edge technology development; on the other, the advance of monoculture generates environmental problems and thousands of workers are still suffering laboural super- exploitation. During 2008, we have also produced a report on the impacts of soy and castor bean, and another on palm oil, babassu, cotton, corn and jatropha, always with the goal of subsiding, with qualified info and analysis, social movements, non-governmental organisations, authorities, entrepreneurs and specialists in general. In 2009, new reports will be published, aiming at verifying the evolution of the problems caused by the agroenergy crops.
