  • The Economic Policy of the Vargas and Goulart Administrations in Brazil
    1 CREDIBILITY AND POPULISM: A BAYESIAN APPROACH TO THE GOULART ADMINISTRATIONS IN BRAZIL Sérgio Marley Modesto Monteiro1 (UFRGS) – [email protected] Pedro Cezar Dutra Fonseca(UFRGS) – [email protected] Resumo: O governo Goulart (1961-1964), em suas fases parlamentarista e presidencialista, é considerado um exemplo típico do populismo no Brasil. A literatura sobre o período costuma definir a política econômica como hesitante, irracional ou ambígua. Neste trabalho, utiliza-se um modelo de credibilidade para explicar a condução da política econômica nas duas fases do governo. A credibilidade é definida como a probabilidade subjetiva com que os agentes avaliam o compromisso do governo para com as medidas de estabilidade por ele anunciadas, formalizadas por uma regra monetária. A estimativa da credibilidade aponta para um padrão comum na condução da política econômica. Nas duas fases o governo inicia com medidas ortodoxas de combate à inflação que fazem com que a credibilidade aumente. À medida em que o tempo passa, como resultado dos custos associados a essa política, a austeridade é abandonada, a credibilidade diminui e as tentativas de estabilização falham. Então, pode-se dizer que: a) há uma lógica e uma coerência nas políticas econômicas implementadas; b) a ortodoxia está presente tanto no discurso quanto na aplicação efetiva das políticas, o que impede de ver o fenômeno populista apenas como uma opção pelo crescimento, desconsiderando totalmente a estabilidade; c) apesar de estar presente, esta opção para combater a inflação

    on the w@terfront, vol.13, June 2009 Porto Alegre (Brazil) in the 1970s: Authoritarian State and Abstraction in Public Space José Francisco Alves Porto Alegre, Brazil ABSTRACT During the 1960s and 1970s, a number of South American countries went through devastating military regimes. They were supported — if not organized — by United States as a form of preventing a growing leftist influence in the continent and a possible “realignment” of such nations with the Soviet Block. The main dictatorship in Latin America occurred in Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Uruguay. In March 31 of 1964, Brazil deepened itself into the Military Dictatorship, which lasted more than twenty year, the longest dictatorship regime of the continent. At the time, under the presidency of João Goulart (elected as vice-president in 1960 that had sworn as President when the President Jânio Quadros resigned, in the following year). The Goulart administration was tumultuous and followed by political instability mainly due to the measures he wanted to put in action in the country as well as by the rather conservative environment, which offered great resistance to his policies. When the president Jânio Quadros resigned in august of 1961, João Goulart was in a diplomatic mission in Chine. The military forces and the conservative members of the congress prevented him from taking the oath and a civil war almost took place by sectors eager to guarantee he would be allowed to take the presidency.

We therefore investigate the case of the presidential elections in Brazil in October 2014, in order to analyze communication structures in actual and para-social inter- actions with presidential candidates. In particular, while Twitter makes it easy for ordinary citizens to express their opinion online, it is maybe even more important that they can also address and communicate with persons who would otherwise not be reach- able at all. Politicians are probably the most important group in this regard. Based on N = 1,891,657 tweets containing an @mention of a candidate in the Brazilian elections of 2014, we investigate which actual or para-social interactions with the candidates take place. Furthermore, because framing literature suggests that all ac- tors involved in a discussion on social media will try to highlight specific aspects and interpretations of issues and events, we used techniques of co-word analysis to investigate the ways in which the main candidates were framed by the Twitter users. The results give insight into the deliberative potential of Twitter: they show 1 Acknowledgement: This work was carried out on the Dutch national e-infrastruc- ture with the support of SURF Foundation.

  • AA Infrastructure Transport Part 01
    WWW.A LMEI DA LA W.COM .BR Airport s Infrastructure In Brazil (Part I: TRANSPORT) Airports www.almeidalaw.com.br INTRODUCTION : AN OVERVIEW OF THE SECTOR Brazil lacks an adequate and well-developed airport infrastructure, resulting in higher logistics costs and inefficient patterns of both interregional and international trade.1 From 2003 to 2010, global airport passenger traffic increased by 40% with an increase of 118% in Brazil during the same period. As a result, Brazil’s national airport infrastructure cannot adequately sustain this increase and will need to be modernized rapidly if the country intends to play a key role in the global economy. It is expected that tourism in Brazil will reach a peak in the near future because of international sporting events and the increasing wealth and rise of the middle class. Brazilian air traffic has notably increased in past years, but it has still not fully reached its potential. In this context, there is an obvious need for airport modernization. The latest investments made in the sector have not matched the growing passenger numbers. Relevant investments are needed to improve existing airport infrastructure. Therefore, the government is planning to privatize major airports to attract private investors. The expansion of air traffic, with new flight connections and more destinations, strongly depends on the development of airport infrastructure. Against this negative background, the government approved a plan to invest 5.6 billion reais in the airports in the cities hosting the World Cup, but even this solution proved 1 The World Economic Forum has rated its quality 3.3 out of 7.0 and Brazil has been ranked (in this category) 123 th out of 148 world economies examined.

  • Policy Monitor
    Week of July 21-25 2014 The Week in Review On The Economic Front Economic Activity According to a Focus poll conducted by the Brazilian Central Bank, financial analysts revised downward for the eighth week in a row the 2014 economic growth forecast. The projected annual growth in Brazilian Gross Domestic Product (GDP) decreased to 0.97%, the first time this year it has fallen below the 1.0% mark. The Serasa Experian Indicator of Economic Activity (Monthly GDP) fell by a seasonally adjusted 0.3% in May 2014 compared to April 2014 and 0.1% compared to May 2013. According to economists, slowing economic activity reflects not only tighter monetary policy (higher interest rates) to combat inflation, but also low business and consumer confidence levels, which can inhibit firm investment and willingness to expand consumer credit. Tax Collection Tax Collection (%) Year over year Federal government tax revenue for June increased 27.08 0.13% over May’s receipts to R$ 91.3 billion (US$ 41.12 billion).

The plane went down in bad weather although the exact cause remains undetermined. However, there is at present no suspicion of foul play. Campos was on his way to a campaign stop along with three political advisers, a photographer, and two pilots. All seven aboard were killed. In the aftermath of the tragedy, the PSB agreed to nominate Campos’ running mate, Marina Silva, as his replacement on the ballot. Silva previously ran for president in 2010 and came in third. She had intended to run again in 2014, but her political party was not successfully registered with the Tribunal Superior Eleitoral (TSE) in time for this year’s October general elections.

  • A Morte De Tancredo Neves Como Cerimônia Midiática
    63 O dia em que o Brasil parou: A morte de Tancredo Neves como cerimônia midiática Marialva Barbosa * Resumo O texto tem por objetivo estudar a forma como a televisão brasileira constrói a representação da morte. A partir da emissão do Jornal Nacional, da Rede Globo de Televisão, desvelando o desfecho da agonia que vitimara o então presidente eleito, Tancredo Neves, em 21 de abril de 1985, procura-se mostrar como a televisão construiu uma cerimônia em torno do acontecimento morte. A emissão ao vivo do velório e sepultamento de Tancredo Neves, como cerimônia midiática produz uma espécie de suspensão do tempo e procura, mediante uma série de estratégias, conseguir a adesão do público ao espetáculo. Este texto apresenta resultados da pesquisa "Mídia e Cerimônias. Uma análise do modelo cerimonial da televisão brasileira", financiada pelo CNPq. Palavras-chave: Televisão - Cerimônia — Morte - Tancredo Neves A morte tem ocupado um lugar privilegiado na televisão. Personagens emblemáticos, midiáticos ou oriundos da violência urbana que domina as cidades surgem na tela da TV sob a égide da morte. Dois movimentos podem ser visualizados: de um lado, a morte dos personagens políticos e públicos, os mitos nacionais; de outro, a morte anônima, fruto do espetáculo da violência. Neste texto nos interessa uma morte em particular, uma morte que parou o Brasil em 1985: a morte do então presidente recém-eleito Tancredo Neves. Ainda que a morte tenha sido na contemporaneidade negada e expurgada, por mais paradoxal que possa parecer, ela ocupa lugar de destaque na mídia. E, com ela, os rituais contemporâneos recriam as tradicionais cerimônias da morte em outra dimensão.

    "Vargas Morto: The Death and Life of a Brazilian Statesman," in Death, Dismemberment, and Memory: Politics of the Body in Latin America. Lyman Johnson, ed. Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 2004. Vargas Morto: The Death and Life of a Brazilian Statesman Daryle Williams and Barbara Weinstein University of Maryland In the early morning hours of Tuesday, August 24, 1954, Brazilian president, Getúlio Dornelles Vargas, lumbered to the third floor of the Palácio do Catete, the ornate Rio de Janeiro mansion that had served as the official presidential residence since 1897. Vargas was seeking relief from a maelstrom that threatened to topple his presidency and, in all likelihood, end a storied political career that began three decades earlier, when as an ambitious party hack from Rio Grande do Sul, Vargas arrived in Rio to assume the post of minister of finance. Weighing heavily on Vargas' mind was a deep economic crisis that cut into the gains of the democratic, populist state that he had tried to fashion after 1950. Equally worrisome was the collapse of support from well-placed civilian and military interests that had historically tolerated the president's well-known political and ideological shiftiness. Most troubling was the knowledge that members of Vargas' inner 1 circle had conspired to murder a political foe, only to see the assassination attempt result in the accidental death of an air force officer. Over the three weeks preceding August 24th, Vargas had defiantly declared his intention to complete his elected term, then stated that he might resign quietly, and then contradicted himself by asserting that he was prepared to leave the presidential palace as a "cadaver." By the time Vargas reached his bedroom around 4:45am on the 24th, the weary president took note that his security staff was busily arranging sandbags in the palace gardens in preparation for a possible attack.
