Participatory Democracy in Brazil: Foundations, Developments, and Limits Participatory Democracy in Brazil: Foundations, Developments, and Limits by José Ricardo Tranjan A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Global Governance Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2012 © José Ricardo Tranjan 2012 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract A lack of historical perspective sustained the widespread view that participatory initiatives in Brazil represented a marked rupture from traditional forms of political engagement to radically new democratic practices. This view overlooks both incremental steps towards broader political participation taking place throughout the 20th century and setbacks restricting participation in the 1980s. This dissertation offers a historical account of the emergence of participatory democracy in Brazil that challenges this dominant view and calls attention to the importance of structural factors and national-level political-institutional contexts. Three case studies of municipal administrations in the late-1970s and early-1980s shine light on the impact of structural factors in the emergence, design, and outcome of participatory initiatives, and the contrast of these precursory experiences with the internationally known 1990s participatory models shows how participatory ideals and practices responded to the changing institutional context of the 1980s. This dissertation puts forward three central arguments. First, research should not treat citizen participation as a normative imperative but instead examine how it emerges through social and political struggles fueled by structural inequalities. Second, it is unfounded to assume that citizen participation will lead to profound transformations of national-level institutions, but it is equally erroneous to suppose that citizen participation is always intended to strengthen representative institutions; the long-term impact of direct citizen participation is an empirical rather than analytical or normative question. Third, a key challenge of participatory democracy today is to free itself from the inflated expectations imposed on it by its own enthusiastic supporters. iii Acknowledgements First and foremost, I must thank the members of my doctoral dissertation supervisory committee. Frederick Bird provided unremitting support for this project since I began to conceptualize it. In the last years he has spent countless hours reading, commenting on, and discussing the different stages and sections of this dissertation. Notably, he has encouraged me to follow my intuition and pursue a qualitative historical research approach in a time when political science graduate students are strongly pressured to go the opposition direction. In coordinating the supervisory committee, Professor Fred’s sole concerns have always been my intellectual development and the quality of my work, and for that too I thank him. Kathryn Hochstetler has done much more than she signed up for. A new arrival at the university she joined the committee without knowing my work. Her involvement in the project increased with time and eventually she became indispensable. In the writing phase, Professor Kathy served as a de facto co-supervisor; she offered feedback to various versions of the same chapters and helped me situate my arguments in the literature. She has also showed interest in and concern for my professional development, which is much appreciated by this introverted junior scholar. Muito obrigado. Rhoda Howard-Hassmann forged an academic out of an activist. The courses I took with her in the first year of the program were fundamental to my formation as a scholar. She taught me how to organize my thoughts and writing and distinguish between rhetoric and reason. It was a privilege to have her join the committee and continue to provide me with guidance although my project ultimately fell out of her research area. Also at the University of Waterloo, Eric Helleiner has been for many years a mentor and a model. By example, he has taught me that academic research is not a zero-sum game, and that we are all eternal students, who have much to learn from and teach to each other. Andrew iv Thompson is one of the most valuable assets of the Balsillie School of International Affairs. His incessant willingness to help students navigate the hordes of graduate studies allows us to focus more attention to our projects. Though spread across the globe, my cohort has been incredible. Our sincere, supporting, and stimulating exchanges made the doctoral experience more agreeable. My warmest wishes to Kim, Ariane, Ola, Jennifer, and Vic. I was also lucky to meet Jayna, who has already become a lifetime friend: thank you for being there and making it fun! To André and Alberto, um abraço. Finally, I am grateful to have been part of Park Street Community and all it represented. During my field research in Brazil, I was hosted by the Núcleo de Pesquisas de Políticas Publicas of the University of São Paulo, and my exchanges with the center’s researchers made it a fruitful experience. I would like to thank José Álvaro Moisés for providing me this opportunity and offering valuable comments on my research project. Charmain Levy and Paulo J. Krischke also took the time to read drafts of parts of this project and provided stimulating comments. I am also greatly indebted to my interviewees in Lages, Boa Esperança, and Diadema. I hope to have accurately depicted your stories. The Centro de Documentação e Pesquisa Vergueiro, headed by the militant Luiza, has had a vital role in field research. The Centro de Memória de Diadema and the archive of the Instituto Brasileiro de Administração Municipal also provided me with useful material. Back in Canada, the John P. Robarts Library offered me a working space next to the stacks on Brazilian history that made that my writing year much more productive. My doctoral studies and research have been funded by University of Waterloo’s Internal Doctoral Award (2008-2010), the Balsillie School of International Affairs’ Balsillie Fellowship (2008-2010), and principally the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada’s Vanier Graduate Scholarship (2010-2012). I would like to thank these institutions, and Canadian v taxpayers, for the financial support that made my project possible. It is also worth mentioning that Trent University was the first to offer me the opportunity to study in a Canadian institution. My partner Yamie Tremblay came into my life in what is considered the most dreadful period of a doctoral program: the weeks preceding the comprehensive exams. She made my life more joyful then, and throughout the rest of the program, and that required putting her career off for a year and moving to the inhospitable city of São Paulo. Mon amour, je ne peux pas exprimer ma gratitude avec des mots. vi To my siblings, Kika, Ana, and Beto, with love and appreciation. vii Table of Contents LIST OF FIGURES ...................................................................................................................................................

  • Norms Versus Action: Voting Against Malfeasance in Brazil∗
    Norms versus Action: Voting Against Malfeasance in Brazil∗ Taylor C. Boas F. Daniel Hidalgo Marcus A. Melo Boston University MIT UFPE April 22, 2017 Abstract Given the prevalence of official wrongdoing in democracies around the world, whether voters punish malfeasant politicians is a substantively important question. In this paper, we show that Brazilian voters strongly sanction malfeasant mayors when presented with hypothetical scenarios but take no action when given the same informa- tion about their own mayor. Partnering with the State Accounts Court of Pernambuco, we conducted a field experiment during the 2016 municipal elections in which the treatment group received information about official wrongdoing by their mayor. The treatment has no effect on self-reported voting behavior after the election, yet when informing about malfeasance in the context of a vignette experiment, we are able to replicate the strong negative effect found in prior studies. We argue that voters’ behav- ior in the abstract reflects the comparatively strong norm against corruption in Brazil. Yet on election day, their behavior is constrained by factors such as loyalty to local po- litical dynasties and the greater salience of more pressing concerns like employment and health services. ∗Prepared for presentation at the Research in Comparative Politics Workshop, Boston University, April 26, 2017, and the International Congress of the Latin American Studies Association, Lima, Peru, April 29–May 1, 2017. We are grateful to Mariana Batista for invaluable help throughout multiple phases of this project; to Marcos Nobrega´ and the State Accounts Court of Pernambuco for their partnership; to Amanda Domingos, Julia Nassar, and Virginia Rocha for research assistance; and to seminar participants at Harvard University, the University of Notre Dame, and the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul.

  • Brazil Ahead of the 2018 Elections
    BRIEFING Brazil ahead of the 2018 elections SUMMARY On 7 October 2018, about 147 million Brazilians will go to the polls to choose a new president, new governors and new members of the bicameral National Congress and state legislatures. If, as expected, none of the presidential candidates gains over 50 % of votes, a run-off between the two best-performing presidential candidates is scheduled to take place on 28 October 2018. Brazil's severe and protracted political, economic, social and public-security crisis has created a complex and polarised political climate that makes the election outcome highly unpredictable. Pollsters show that voters have lost faith in a discredited political elite and that only anti- establishment outsiders not embroiled in large-scale corruption scandals and entrenched clientelism would truly match voters' preferences. However, there is a huge gap between voters' strong demand for a radical political renewal based on new faces, and the dramatic shortage of political newcomers among the candidates. Voters' disillusionment with conventional politics and political institutions has fuelled nostalgic preferences and is likely to prompt part of the electorate to shift away from centrist candidates associated with policy continuity to candidates at the opposite sides of the party spectrum. Many less well-off voters would have welcomed a return to office of former left-wing President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (2003-2010), who due to a then booming economy, could run social programmes that lifted millions out of extreme poverty and who, barred by Brazil's judiciary from running in 2018, has tried to transfer his high popularity to his much less-known replacement.

  • A Tale of Two Republics
    A Tale of Two Republics: Why Liberalism Succeeded in America but Faltered in Brazil Matthew Braz Honors 490: Senior Honors Seminar Professor Blais May 1, 2019 Braz1 The history of human civilization in the Western Hemisphere begins in when hunter gathers first stepped foot onto North America, and continued their march south to the tip of Patagonia. In a land diverse in geography and people, these human tribes would form new societies vying for resources to become the dominant power. And of all societies to flourish, the Mesoamerican civilizations including the Olmec and later the Aztec would rise as the most powerful empire in North America. South of Panama, the Inca would establish an empire in the Andes Mountains as the dominant power of South America. Yet the powerful Aztecs warriors and the high Incan forts would not withstand the guns nor devastating germs of European colonizers who would replace these native empires as the dominant power. Now it was the empires of Europe who were the true superpowers of the Western Hemisphere, establishing political, cultural, and economic control both continents. European colonialism would reshape the Western Hemisphere into a new world born from the ashes of Native People. Their former lands were fenced for European colonizers, of men and women who sought wealth that this new world provided. That wealth needed extraction, and so millions of enslaved people were chained and shipped from Africa towards the horrors of chattel slavery. The combination of these different people and cultures reshaped the Western Hemisphere, and the result of this clash of cultures is still evident today 527 years after Columbus arrived in Hispaniola.

    A Cause for Reflection: Imagining Brazil at 100 Years of Independence By Joseph M. Pendergraph Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Vanderbilt University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in History August, 2015 Nashville, Tennessee Approved: Marshall C. Eakin, Ph.D. Sarah E. Igo, Ph.D. “O Gigante: Vossos irmãoes na pátria nova passam tranquillos com riqueza largos annos… outro sistema de gouverno abraçam, que julgam mais propício para os humanos, porque nesse regimen, ali novo, dizem que manda simplesmente o povo.”1 “For my part I will say that, if my body leaves [Brazil], my heart stays, and that, if one day it should split, on it will be seen the words Brazil and Portugal, so intensely linked, so intimately intertwined, that it shall not be possible to separate one from the other.”2 1 Augusto de Lacerda, As duas patrias: poêma em homenagem a Portugal e Brasil por occasião do centenário da abertura dos portos brasileiros ao commércio do mundo (Porto: Oficinas do Commercio do Porto, 1908), 116 – The passage reads roughly, “The Giant: Your brothers in the new Pátria calmly live long years with richness / embracing another form of government that they believe to be more propitious for mankind / because in this new regime it is said that the people simply govern.” The timing of this quotation is key for understanding the critique. The work was published in 1908 just two years before the overthrow of the Portuguese monarchy. The decadence of the throne in the nineteenth century had led to intellectual criticism in the 1870s and republican revolts and conspiracies in the last years of the century.

Orientação: Professor Doutor Emerson Urizzi Cervi. CURITIBA 2016 “É melhor correr o risco de salvar um homem culpado do que condenar um inocente.” (Voltaire) RESUMO Este trabalho procura analisar aspectos jurídicos e políticos da aplicação da lei da Ficha Limpa, que introduziu diversos critérios de inelegibilidade para candidatos a cargos públicos a partir das eleições de 2012 no Brasil. A proposta é apresentar algumas consequências do regramento no sistema institucional brasileiro e avaliar, tanto quanto possível com dados, se a norma possui efeitos práticos no combate a corrupção – principal objetivo da lei. Duas perguntas movem o trabalho: a lei da Ficha Limpa possui capacidade de diminuir a corrupção no país? A aplicação do regramento tem sido benéfico para o sistema democrático brasileiro? As hipóteses levantadas são a de que a lei não contribuiu como se esperava na mudança do quadro de corrupção no país e, mais do que isso, trouxe consequências prejudiciais à consolidação e melhoria da democracia brasileira. Para tanto, são apresentados argumentos que questionam a constitucionalidade da norma e alguns de seus efeitos, como a judicialização da política e a instabilidade jurídica e democrática.

  • Democracy's Deficits
    Democracy’s Deficits Samuel Issacharoff† Barely a quarter century after the collapse of the Soviet empire, democracy has entered an intense period of public scrutiny. The election of President Donald Trump and the Brexit vote are dramatic moments in a populist uprising against the post- war political consensus of liberal rule. But they are also signposts in a process long in the making, yet perhaps not fully appreciated until the intense electoral upheavals of recent years. The current moment is defined by distrust of the institutional order of democracy and, more fundamentally, of the idea that there is a tomorrow and that the losers of today may unseat the victors in a new round of electoral challenge. At issue across the nuances of the national settings is a deep challenge to the core claim of democracy to be the superior form of political organization of civilized peoples. The current democratic malaise is rooted not so much in the outcome of any particular election but in four central institutional challenges, each one a compro- mise of how democracy was consolidated over the past few centuries. The four are: first, the accelerated decline of political parties and other institutional forms of pop- ular engagement; second, the paralysis of the legislative branches; third, the loss of a sense of social cohesion; and fourth, the decline in state competence. While there are no doubt other candidates for inducing anxiety over the state of democracy, these four have a particular salience in theories of democratic superiority that make their decline or loss a matter of grave concern.
