  • The Politics of Homophobia in Brazil: Congress and Social (Counter)Mobilization
    The Politics of Homophobia in Brazil: Congress and Social (counter)Mobilization by Robert Tyler Valiquette A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In Political Science Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Robert Tyler Valiquette, June, 2017 ABSTRACT THE POLITICS OF HOMOPHOBIA IN BRAZIL: CONGRESS AND SOCAIL (COUNTER)MOBILIZATION Tyler Valiquette Advisor: University of Guelph, 2017 Professor J Díez In recent years, Latin America has seen significant progress in the expansion of LGBT rights such as the implementation of same-sex marriage and the creation of some of the world’s most advanced gender identity laws. Brazil was at the front of this progression and by the early 2000’s, scholars believed Brazil was poised to emerge as Latin America’s gay rights champion. Despite some advancements, the image of Brazil as a gay rights champion is nebulous. The Brazilian Congress has failed in passing federal legislation protecting sexual minorities from violence and discrimination and this thesis seeks to answer why. Qualitative interviews were conducted with LGBT activists, political aides, politicians and Evangelical Pastors. Ultimately this thesis argues that Brazil does not have LGBT anti- discrimination policy because of two factors: 1) a weakening LGBT social movement and 2) a strong countermovement to LGBT rights. iii Acknowledgements Thanks is offered to numerous people upon the completion of this thesis. First, my deepest gratitude to my supervisor, Dr. Jordi Díez. I first contacted Dr. Díez in 2015 with a simple idea for research. From that moment on, Dr. Díez offered limitless support.

  • Parties, Institutions, and the Under-Representation of Women in Brazil’S State Legislatures
    GENDERING REPRESENTATION: PARTIES, INSTITUTIONS, AND THE UNDER-REPRESENTATION OF WOMEN IN BRAZIL’S STATE LEGISLATURES BY ©2012 Pedro de Abreu Gomes dos Santos Submitted to the graduate degree program in Political Science and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________________ Dr. Gary Reich ________________________________ Dr. Christina Bejarano ________________________________ Dr. Hannah Britton ________________________________ Dr. Erik Herron ________________________________ Dr. Elizabeth Kuznesof Date Defended: July 25, 2012 The Dissertation Committee for Pedro de Abreu Gomes dos Santos certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: GENDERING REPRESENTATION: PARTIES, INSTITUTIONS, AND THE UNDER-REPRESENTATION OF WOMEN IN BRAZIL’S STATE LEGISLATURES ____________________________ Chairperson Dr. Gary Reich Date Approved: August 29, 2012 ii Abstract This dissertation provides insights on what influences women’s descriptive representation in state legislatures in Brazil. The study of female representation in Brazil provides for a good case study as the country uses a gender quota system for legislative positions since 1995 and yet has not seen a significant improvement in the number of women elected to such institutions. In order to understand the roots of female under-representation, this dissertation combines Feminist Historical Institutionalism—a complementary approach to Historical Institutionalism that focuses on the role of gender in the development of institutions—and empirical approaches to determine why so few women are elected to Brazil’s state legislatures. This dissertation relies on historical narratives, interviews and participant observation, and statistical analysis to uncover the ways in which the Brazilian political system influences the low number of female candidates elected to state legislatures.

Pulling down the stereotypes, “Flair” emphasises the free spirit and the competence of Ipsos experts.

Currently, the situation is hectic. This is not the first time in Brazil: one could ask whether this country is definitely condemned to suffer a rollercoaster ride… Maybe, this time, it is different. It is our bet: a new sequence is opening, a real transition is happening, it is a time when wise choices are imperative.

Chill, was what I felt. And a deep longing for my homely sunshine. “What on Earth could possibly make a Brazilian move from Brazil to come study in a place like that?” was what I got used to hearing from all types of people who came to learn I was Brazilian. The thing is, it had never crossed my mind that kind of change I was going to face, once in the Netherlands.

  • Agrarian Reform Policy in Brazil: Trajectory of a Decadence
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 10 April 2017 doi:10.20944/preprints201704.0055.v1 Article Agrarian Reform Policy in Brazil: Trajectory of a Decadence Eric P. Sabourin CIRAD Umr Art-dev and University of Brasilia, Centre for Sustainable Development SQS 113 bloco E apt° 204 Cep 70376-050 Brasília–DF–Brazil; [email protected] Abstract: In Brazil, during the four last administrations of Worker’s Party (PT) 2003-2015, the support to the agrarian reform seems to have stagnated, even with the influence of landless workers' movements. Thus in 2016, the impeachment President Dilma Roussef have marked a brutal stop in the agrarian reform process. How to explain that which seems at first to be a contradiction and has become a decadence of an important federal public policy?. Furthermore, how can we evaluate the debates within Brazilian society and the federal government on this theme? The article analyzes the tensions, debates, advances and impasses of the past fifteen years of agrarian reform policy in Brazil looking at the interaction between social movements and public policies. The method associates bibliography, official statistic synthesis and research results in Northeast, Amazônia and Cerrado regions among several projects. The first part results put on evidence the crescent reduction of agrarian reform settlements and beneficiary families since 2006. The second part presents the main reasons offering an analysis of government and society debates in Brazil about land reform. The analysis conclude to the less of power and representation in the society of the pro agrarian reform large and popular coalition.

This study analyzes these partnerships and discusses potential conflicts of interest and corruption driven by networking. From the structural sociology of relationships, we built a graphical representation of the investment network and the centrality, proximity, and intermediate positions of 446 actors involved in this sporting event. The results show that, in public-private partnerships, the state takes on different roles in public services coordination.

  • Quality of Institutions on Education Policy Programs
    Quality of Institutions on Education Policy Programs WHAT DOES MAKE DIFFERENCE IN BRAZILIAN EDUCATION POLICIES? Very Preliminary Version!!!! Carlos Pereira Professor, Getúlio Vargas Foundation – FGV/EBAPE 1. INTRODUCTION The benefit a country can extract from good education is a general consensus nowadays. The most important examples of countries that achieved economic development in the recent decades – South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong – are associated to robust investment in primary education. So, improving the quality of education is the key to break the underdevelopment and to reduce inequality and social exclusion. Bruns, Evans and Luque (2012) identified many positive externalities of education. For these authors, a good system of education may lead to: (1) developing the labor force skills for sustained economic growth; (2) contributing to poverty and inequality reduction by providing educational opportunity for all; and (3) transforming education spending into educational results, especially student learning. (Bruns; Evans & Luque, 2012) Analyzing the Brazilian context, Menezes-Filho (2001) demonstrated that education is responsible for 26 percent salary difference between educated and not educated workers, and 40 percent of this gap when we weight by the number of hours worked. These numbers have generated growing concerns when one takes into account the most recent data on education in Brazil released by the Program for International Student Assessment - PISA in 2009. PISA reveals that Brazilian students perform rather poorly in comparative perspective, ranked 54th position among 65 countries. The Figure 1 shows that, although Brazil has improved its score on PISA in the last decade, its outcome is still worse than other developing countries like China or Poland as well as other Latin American countries such as Chile and Mexico.

  • Brazil Relations India and Brazil Share a Very Close and Multifaceted
    India - Brazil Relations India and Brazil share a very close and multifaceted relationship at bilateral level as well as in plurilateral fora such as BRICS, BASIC, G-20, G-4, IBSA, International Solar Alliance, Biofuture Platform and in the larger multilateral bodies such as the UN, WTO, UNESCO and WIPO. The decade long bilateral strategic partnership, which has opened a new phase for India-Brazil relations, is based on a common global vision, shared democratic values, and a commitment to foster economic growth with social inclusion for the welfare of the people of both countries. Political Relations: India’s strategic partnership with Brazil continued to intensify in 2017. PM met his counterpart President Michel Temer on the sidelines of the BRICS Summit in China on 4 September, 2017. EAM also met her counterpart Foreign Minister Aloysio Nunes on 20 September, 2017 on the sidelines of UNGA. Key issues of bilateral importance were discussed during the meetings, opening up opportunities on both sides to take this strategic partnership forward. Previously, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and President Michel Temer met at the VIII BRICS Summit which took place on October 15- 16, 2016 in Goa, India. On October 17, 2016, PM and President Temer held delegation- level deliberations to further strengthen the strategic partnership. Three MOUs were signed during the bilateral visit of President Temer, viz: (i) MOU between ICAR and Brazilian Agriculture Research Corporation (EMBRAPA) for Cooperation in the fields of Genetic Resources, Agriculture, Animal Husbandry, Natural Resources and Fisheries; (ii) MOU between Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairying & Fisheries (DADF) and Brazilian Agriculture Research Corporation (EMBRAPA) on cooperation in the Fields of Zebu Cattle Genomics and Assisted Reproductive Technologies; (iii) MOU between Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) and the Brazilian Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) for cooperation in the field of pharmaceutical production regulation.
