In the article, selected concepts of leadership are applied in the background of the theories of a religious field, existential security, and the market theory of religion, to analyze the case of the IURD leadership political involvement and bishop/mayor Crivella’s city management before and during the pandemic, in order to show how his office constitutes an important part of the strategies of growth implemented by the IURD charismatic leader Edir Macedo, the founder and the head of this religious institution and, at the same time, Crivella’s uncle. The authors prove how Crivella’s policies mingle the religious and the political according to Macedo’s political alliances at the federal level, in order to strengthen the church and assure its political influence.

  • Realinhamentos Partidários No Estado Do Rio De Janeiro (1982-2018) Theófilo Codeço Machado Rodrigues1
    DOI: https://doi.org/10.5007/2175-7984.2020.e67408 Realinhamentos partidários no estado do Rio de Janeiro (1982-2018) Theófilo Codeço Machado Rodrigues1 Resumo O presente artigo investiga o processo de realinhamento partidário em curso no estado do Rio de Janeiro. Foram observados os partidos dos governadores e senadores eleitos no Rio de Janeiro pelo voto direto entre 1982 e 2018. Além dos governadores, foram avaliadas as bancadas partidá- rias eleitas para a Assembleia Legislativa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (ALERJ) e para a Câmara dos Deputados durante todo o período. A pesquisa confirmou a hipótese do recente realinhamento partidário no Rio de Janeiro e identificou que, com o declínio eleitoral do brizolismo, e com a prisão das principais lideranças locais do PMDB a partir de 2016, o tradicional centro político do estado – PDT pela centro-esquerda e PMDB pela centro-direita – implodiu e novos partidos oriundos dos extremos do espectro político emergiram como PSL, PRB e PSC, pela direita, e PSOL, pela esquerda. Palavras-chave: Partidos Políticos. Rio de Janeiro. Sistema Partidário. Brizolismo. Chaguismo. 1 Introdução Entre 1982 e 2018, houve no Rio de Janeiro sete governadores eleitos pelo voto direto e três vice-governadores que assumiram o cargo. No de- curso desse período, verifica-se que o PMDB governou o estado durante 19 anos, o PDT por 10, o PSDB por 4, o PSB por 2 e o PT por alguns meses. Em outubro de 2018, um novo partido foi eleito para o governo: o PSC. Nas décadas de 1980 e 1990, Brizola, brizolistas e ex-brizolistas protagonizaram a política no estado.

  • A Case Study on Recent Developments
    Academic Freedom in Brazil A Case Study on Recent Developments By CONRADO HÜBNER MENDES with ADRIANE SANCTIS DE BRITO, BRUNA ANGOTTI, FERNANDO ROMANI SALES, LUCIANA SILVA REIS and NATALIA PIRES DE VASCONCELOS Freedom of expression, freedom of thought, the freedom to teach and to learn, and PUBLISHED university autonomy are all protected by the Brazilian Constitution. Yet a closer look September 2020 at the state of academic freedom in the country reveals that these constitutional rights have come under attack. In recent years, the difficult political climate in Brazil has strained the country’s academic landscape, and its deeply polarized politics have aggravated pre-existing problems in the regulation and governance of higher education. Based on an analysis of media reporting, assessments by various research organizations as well as preliminary survey data, this case study investigates to what extent different dimensions of academic freedom have come under threat in Brazil. It also sheds light on recent efforts to promote academic freedom before concluding with several recommendations for Brazilian and international policymakers. gppi.net We are grateful to the anonymous reviewers who offered invaluable comments to the first version of this study. We also thank Janika Spannagel, Katrin Kinzelbach, Ilyas Saliba, and Alissa Jones Nelson for the substantial feedback along the way, and Leonardo Rosa for important conversations on federal universities regulation and ways to improve academic freedom in Brazil. Finally, we would like to thank the Global Public Policy Institute (GPPi) for the opportunity to draft and publish this case study as part of GPPi’s ongoing project on academic freedom.

  • A SOLIDÃO DE RAMBO Suspeitas De Corrupção E Conluio Com As Milícias Desmontam Wilson Witzel
    EDIÇÃO 166 | JULHO_2020 vultos da república A SOLIDÃO DE RAMBO Suspeitas de corrupção e conluio com as milícias desmontam Wilson Witzel ALLAN DE ABREU Witzel, com seu trompete, nos anos 1970: o governador e o presidente hoje se acusam mutuamente de manipular a polícia, mas, quando aliados, tentaram juntos derrubar o chefe da PF no Rio CREDITO: ÁLBUM DE FAMÍLIA o receber a notícia de que seu impeachment tomava corpo na Assembleia Legislativa do Rio de Janeiro, o governador Wilson A Witzel (PSC) passou a enfrentar a mesma desorientação daquele verão longínquo quando se perdeu no meio do mato. Tinha 23 anos e acabara de chegar à Zona da Mata de Minas Gerais, onde o Batalhão de Artilharia do Corpo de Fuzileiros Navais do Rio de Janeiro faria um exercício militar que o jovem segundo-tenente adorava: simular um combate na selva. Seus superiores o chamavam de “tenente Uítzel”, mas, entre os praças, seu apelido era “Rambo”, pelo seu hábito de levar uma faca presa na panturrilha. Seriam quatro dias exaustivos e excitantes, mas o tenente, encarregado de liderar um dos grupos, saiu de lá enlameado e humilhado, e no ano seguinte sua carreira militar estava encerrada. No segundo dia dos exercícios, a equipe de Witzel deparou com uma encruzilhada.
