  • BRAZIL BULLETIN INTERVIEW: Guido Mantega, Brazilian Finance Minister
    Brazil-U.S. Business Council, Brazil Bulletin, Vol. XXI, No. 11 March 14, 2011 BRAZIL BULLETIN INTERVIEW: Guido Mantega, Brazilian Finance Minister. –“Our main challenge is to boost exports of manufactured products, despite the trade war that’s brewing.” Brazilian economic policies in 2011 will focus on the increasingly evident problems associated with sustainable growth, according to Finance Minister Guido Mantega. Problems include rising inflation and a burgeoning current account deficit. Mantega discussed aspects of the government’s strategy at a recent meeting with business executives in São Paulo. Excerpts follow: On sustaining growth: “I think we can say, at this point, that the phase of combating the international crisis is now over. Our goal now is to guarantee sustainable growth. We need to look at ways of stimulating gains in productivity among manufacturers. We also need to make sure there is enough qualified labor available as the economy continues to expand and diversify.” On budget cutting measures: “Brazil’s government will make every effort to cut its own operating costs and avoid creating new sources of spending. Our aim is to use spending cuts to hold back on monetary tightening. We are one of the best fiscally positioned countries in the world. We expect to continue as such in 2011.” On budget cuts and interest rates: “Cuts in spending should eventually result in lower interest rates. They also open the door to timely use of tax incentives.” On the current account deficit: “Another challenge for Brazil in 2011 will be reduction in the current account deficit. We have to find ways to make exports grow faster than imports this year.

  • Il Processo Di Crescita E Di Modernizzazione Del Brasile È
    Brazil’s Locomotive Breath By Nicola Bilotta Abstract The Brazilian ‘locomotive’ has stopped. Oil production has been one of crucial drivers in fostering not only economic but social growth in Brazil. However, the country is now gripped by economic crisis and political instability. The inquiry of the Petrobras scandal is changing the equilibrium of powers in the Latin “China”. Introduction The process of growth and modernization in Brazil has been always described as an example to be followed by other developing countries. Nevertheless, the Brazilian ‘locomotive’ has stopped. The country is going through a period of dramatic political and economic instability. Although the Olympics Games should have been an international show of Brazilian power, they revealed the structural weakness of a country full of ambiguities and contradictions instead. The Petrobras inquiry, combined with negative effects of the economic crisis, seem to have temporarily buried the China of South America. Yet again, oil wealth is becoming not a blessing but a curse. “In a broader sense, the hydrocarbons and its scarcity phychologization, its monetization (and related weaponization) is serving rather a coercive and restrictive status quo than a developmental incentive” – diagnoses prof. Anis H. Bajrektarevic, and concludes: “That essentially calls not for an engagement but compliance.“ To describe the history of the nation we need to focus our attention on oil, because the black gold is the embodiment of the success -and fall- of the Brazilian economy. Oil – how black is gold One the central drivers of Brazilian economic growth has been the production and the export of natural resources and their products.

  • Introduction Anthropology and Knowledge Production in a ‘Minefield’
    Dossier “Mining, violence and resistance” Introduction Anthropology and knowledge production in a ‘minefield’ Andréa Zhouri Departamento de Antropologia e Arqueologia, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, MG, Brasil In 2003, when Chris Ballard and Glenn Banks updated – and upgraded – Ricardo Godoy’s call for a systematization of an Anthropology of Mining (1985), they simultaneously warned: “mining is no ethnographic playground”. Focused mainly in situations across the Asia-Pacific region, the review questioned the often monolithic “characterizations of state, corporate, and community forms of agency” and charted the debate among anthropologists involved in mining about the appropriate terms of their engagement - as consultants, researchers and advocates. Differently from the context analyzed by Godoy in the mid-1980s, the authors emphasized the novel and complex scope of mining activities, particularly the interplay of actors involved in large-scale hard-rock mines in the new millennium, ranging from local to global players: that is, indigenous peoples, local communities, state agencies, transnational corporations, national and transnational NGOs, social and environmental movements, international institutions, among others. Each of these actors has a different agenda, scope of actions and quantum of power at the mining sites. Ballard and Banks, drawing on Gedicks’ (1993) “resource wars”,1 pointed out the context of conflict typical of mining settings and the necessary considerations of the position of Anthropologists within these. Such a warning is still relevant and reverberates in a rather more diverse and complex manner today, considering the current forms of neoextractivisms, which interlace high technology, the international division of labor and capital, the advances over new frontiers and, above all, the aggravation of mining’s spillage effects (Gudynas 2016)2.

  • Accounting and Actuarial Students Expectations About Brazilian Corporate Governance Practices After Car Wash Operation
    Accounting and Actuarial Students Expectations about Brazilian Corporate Governance Practices after Car Wash Operation Eduardo Flores Universidade de São Paulo Douglas Augusto de Paula Universidade de São Paulo Leonardo Cunha da Silva Universidade de São Paulo Abstract This paper aims to develop a better understanding of accounting and actuarial students' expectations of the Brazilian corporate governance after the car-wash operation. Additionally, is evaluated the self-comprehension of these students about the corporate governance system and its mechanisms. Using a previously published survey, data were collected from two colleges in the São Paulo city, totaling 112 responses. Data were initially submitted to a confirmatory factorial analysis (CFA) for the constructs built, which were used after to composed a structural equation model (SEM). The main finding indicates that these students are skeptical about the increase in the Brazilian corporate governance post-car wash, this result is supported by the background development and denotes in a certain way the students’ consciousness related to the need of deep reforms in business environments. Furthermore, respondents listed human resources strategic management as the most prominent corporate governance tool. However, the students revealed certain disbelief of traditional mechanisms such as the board of directors and internal audit as potential inhibitors of fraud and corruption. This study is limited by the inclusion of accounting and actuarial students at only two São Paulo – Brazil universities. Further studies can ampliate this sample, as well as, consider other colleges and majors. This paper contributes to the literature related to corporate governance and education bringing a holistic assessment of the students' perception, encouraging the discussion of current models and instruments of Brazilian governance, especially in the classroom, as these were not sufficient to inhibit the frauds and corruptions evidenced.

  • Small-Scale Gold Mining in the Amazon. the Cases of Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Peru and Suriname
    Small-scale Gold Mining in the Amazon. The cases of Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Peru and Suriname Editors: Leontien Cremers, Judith Kolen, Marjo de Theije Synopsis (backside of the book) Small-scale gold mining increasingly causes environmental problems and socio- political conflicts in the Amazon. Uncontrolled use of mercury and deforestation threaten the livelihoods of the inhabitants of the forest, and the health of the miners and their families. Tensions arise when miners work in territories without licenses and governments have no control over the activities and the revenues generated. The scale of the problems increased in the past few years due to the high price of gold and the introduction of more mechanized mining techniques. At the same time, the activity offers a livelihood opportunity to many hundreds of thousands of people. In this book the authors give a situation analysis of small-scale gold mining in five countries in the wider Amazon region. This work comes from a base line study that is part of the GOMIAM project (Small-scale gold mining and social conflict in the Amazon: Comparing states, environments, local populations and miners in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Peru and Suriname). GOMIAM develops a comparative understanding of socio-political and environmental conflicts related to small-scale gold mining in the Amazon. The chapters describe the different social, political and environmental situations in each country, including technical, economic, legal, historical, and policy aspects of the small-scale gold mining sector. The contributors are all involved in the GOMIAM project as researchers. They have different disciplinary backgrounds, which is reflected in the broad scope of the ethnographic, economic, technical and political data collected in this book.

The Wilson Center honors the memory of Woodrow Wilson by bridging his two pas- sions — scholarship and policy. At the center, we bring together the thinkers and do- ers — policymakers, scholars and business leaders — in the hope that a frank and open dialogue will lead to better understanding, cooperation and public policy. During my two decades as a Member of Congress, I traveled several times to Brazil to examine shared interests between our two countries like energy security, climate change and international security cooperation. The Brazil Institute provides a sophisticated understanding of these issues, and the prospects of the bilateral relationship on the eve of President Obama’s trip to Brasilia and Rio was the topic of the first discussion I attended, the day before becoming President here.
