The FGV-SP contributed in the collection of data, did some additional analysis, and provided legal interpretations and related inputs. Ms Hammergren and Mr. Gregorio designed the investigation, drafted the final report, and are solely responsible for the conclusions and recommendations included in it. The research would not have been possible without the support and collaboration of a wide variety of institutions and individuals. We would first like to thank Vinod Thomas (Director, World Bank Brazil CMU) and Joaquim Von Amsberg (Lead Economist, Brazil CMU) for providing the funding and permission to do the research. We also acknowledge the input and advice provided by other World Bank staff Ernest0 May, Ronald Myers, Mark Thomas, Yasuhiko Matsuda, Bernice Van Bronkhurst, Luke Haggarty (peer reviewer), and Beth Anne Dabak (peer reviewer). Carlos Santiso (DFID, Peru) also receives our thanks for serving as an external reviewer. Obviously the work would not have advanced without the cooperation of the organizations surveyed.

In each of these entities we were attended by employees too numerous to list here, but we do thank them for their assistance. In addition to these institutional contacts, we were also aided by comments and recommendations provided by a vast number of individuals, including Sergio Renault (Secretario da Reforma Judiciaria, Ministry of Justice), Paul0 Oliveira (AMB), Joaquim FalcBo (FundacBo Getulio Vargas- RJ) , Marcos de Costa Silva (MinistCrio Piiblico Federal), Mario Lobaton Paiva (Private Attorney), Ronald Macedo (Procuradoria Geral de Justica, SBo Paulo); Ary Oswaldo Mattos Filho (FundacBo Getulio Vargas-SP), Armando Castelar Pinheiro (PEA), Renato SCrio de Lima (SEADE), and Matthew Taylor (Georgetown University). Although not directly involved in this project, our partners from the previous research, CEBEPEJ, its director Kazuo Watanabe, and collaborating researchers Maria Tereza Sadek, Caetano Lagrastra, and Paulo Eduardo Alves da Silva, deserve additional thanks for their earlier effort, and for the influence it and their many recommendations and corrections had on improving our current work.

  • The French Invasions of Portugal 1807-1811: Rebellion, Reaction and Resistance
    The French Invasions of Portugal 1807-1811: rebellion, reaction and resistance Anthony Gray MA by Research University of York Department of History Centre for Eighteenth Century Studies June 2011 Abstract Portugal’s involvement in the Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars resulted in substantial economic, political and social change revealing interconnections between state and economy that have not been acknowledged fully within the existing literature. On the one hand, economic and political change was precipitated by the flight of Dom João, the removal of the court to Rio de Janeiro, and the appointment of a regency council in Lisbon: events that were the result of much more than the mere confluence of external drivers and internal pressures in Europe, however complex and compelling they may have been at the time. Although governance in Portugal had been handed over to the regency council strict limitations were imposed on its autonomy. Once Lisbon was occupied, and French military government imposed on Portugal, her continued role as entrepôt, linking the South Atlantic economy to that of Europe, could not be guaranteed. Brazil’s ports were therefore opened to foreign vessels and restrictions on agriculture, manufacture and inter-regional trade in the colonies were lifted presaging a transition from neo-mercantilism to proto-industrialised capitalism. The meanings of this dislocation of political power and the shift of government from metropolis to colony were complex, not least in relation to the location and limits of absolutist authority. The immediate results of which were a series of popular insurrections in Portugal, a swift response by the French military government and conservative reaction by Portuguese élites, leading to widespread popular resistance in 1808 and 1809 and, subsequently, Portugal’s wholesale involvement in the Peninsular War with severe and deleterious effects on the Portuguese population and economy.

  • Structural Changes Within the 16Th-Century Portuguese Military Orders1
    Structural Changes within the 16th-century Portuguese Military Orders1 Fernanda Olival (University of Évora - History Department; CIDEHUS) [email protected] Abstract How and why the Portuguese Military Orders changed in the 16th century is the central topic of this paper. Three great 16th-century structural changes are analyzed: the process of the perpetual transfer of tutelage of the Orders to the Portuguese Crown; the introduction of individual service as a means of servants gaining access to the Military Orders; and the adoption of statutes dealing with purity of blood and occupation. Keywords Portuguese Military Orders; Castilian Military Orders; purity of blood; papacy; Portuguese nobility; ennoblement; Jews; crusade; North Africa; Portuguese Early Modern State. The 16th century was a period of notable and far-reaching change within the Military Orders, which decisively marked their evolution over the following two centuries: between the reign of Manuel, at the same time sovereign and the administrator of the Order of Christ, and the period of Castilian Habsburg rule in Portugal, the face of these institutions was radically transformed. The aim of this paper is to survey this process of transformation and analyze the importance of each of the changes as well as their overall effect. A synthetic approach will be adopted and the paper presented in essay form. In view of the current state of research, this obviously involves a considerable degree of difficulty; firstly, because the research which has been carried out into each of these changes is incomplete and insufficient, due, among other reasons, to a lack of sources in Portuguese and 1 The following abbreviations are used in this essay: ANTT - Instituto dos Arquivos Nacionais / Torre do Tombo; BN - Biblioteca Nacional, Lisbon.
