  • Federalism, Bicameralism, and Institutional Change: General Trends and One Case-Study*
    brazilianpoliticalsciencereview ARTICLE Federalism, Bicameralism, and Institutional Change: General Trends and One Case-study* Marta Arretche University of São Paulo (USP), Brazil The article distinguishes federal states from bicameralism and mechanisms of territorial representation in order to examine the association of each with institutional change in 32 countries by using constitutional amendments as a proxy. It reveals that bicameralism tends to be a better predictor of constitutional stability than federalism. All of the bicameral cases that are associated with high rates of constitutional amendment are also federal states, including Brazil, India, Austria, and Malaysia. In order to explore the mechanisms explaining this unexpected outcome, the article also examines the voting behavior of Brazilian senators constitutional amendments proposals (CAPs). It shows that the Brazilian Senate is a partisan Chamber. The article concludes that regional influence over institutional change can be substantially reduced, even under symmetrical bicameralism in which the Senate acts as a second veto arena, when party discipline prevails over the cohesion of regional representation. Keywords: Federalism; Bicameralism; Senate; Institutional change; Brazil. well-established proposition in the institutional literature argues that federal Astates tend to take a slow reform path.

  • Brasilia and Sao Paulo), 2 April - 5 April 2013
    Committee on Foreign Affairs The Secretariat 8 May 2013 OFFICIAL VISIT OF THE COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN AFFAIRS TO BRAZIL (Brasilia and Sao Paulo), 2 April - 5 April 2013 MISSION REPORT MAIN FINDINGS Strengthening dialogue with the Brazilian authorities should one of the priorities of the Committee on Foreign Affairs (AFET) in the context of the EU strategic partnership and the EU-Brazil joint action plan (2012-2014). There are currently more than 30 on-going dialogues under the EU-BR strategic partnership. A Civil Society Forum and a Business Forum take place every year, back to back with EU- BR Summitt. Yet, a true regular and structured dialogue between the EP and the Brazilian Congress is still missing. Visits of MEPs are numerous but still often ad-hoc and unbalanced with BR visits to Europe. A Parliamentary Forum that could meet before Summits could be a useful tool to structure this dialogue and to improve the EU-BR partnership. In reply to the interest shown by both the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate to structure better their dialogue with the European Parliament, reflected also in the Brazil-EU Joint Action Plan for 2012-2014 the AFET delegation urged both houses to come up with a joint initiative and promised that it would be met favourable in the European Parliament. The meetings held with governmental representatives confirmed their commitment, announced at the CELAC Summit in January, to submit a negotiating offer on market access regarding the EU- Mercosul Agreement by the end of the year with due account taken of the electoral deadlines of some key players (Paraguay, Venezuela) and the impact of the last economic crisis (Argentina).

The authors concur that specific peculiarities of Brazilian political institutions likely complicate the process of solving societal collec- tive action dilemmas. Nonetheless, Brazil’s economic and social track record since redemocratization in the mid-1980s has been reasonably good in com- parative regional perspective. Perhaps Brazil’s informal political negotiating mechanisms, or even other less obvious institutional structures, provide suffi- cient countervailing influences to allow “governance” to proceed relatively smoothly despite the appearance of chaos and political dysfunction. Keywords: Brazil; democracy; political institutions; policy making, economic reform; developing countries any comparative political scientists and economists now emphasize Mthe incentives for “good governance” created by a country’s set of formal political rules. Though numerous scholars judge Brazil’s political institutions to be almost paradigmatically poorly designed, the country has adopted and implemented politically difficult economic reforms, suggest- ing an apparent puzzle. One’s view of Brazil also influences judgments Authors’ Note: We gratefully acknowledge the helpful comments of Vicente Palermo, Luiz Carlos Bresser Pereira, Javier Corrales, Peter Kingstone, Stephan Haggard, Adam Przeworski, James Caporaso, William C.

  • INTA Legislation and Regulation Latin America & Caribbean
    INTA Legislation and Regulation Latin America & Caribbean Subcommittee Report on Plain Packaging in Latin America September 2016 I. INTRODUCTION Plain packaging refers to a regulatory measure that requires generic or standardized packaging for a consumer product, whereby all branding (including colors, logos, imagery and trademarks) is removed from the packaging, and manufacturers are permitted to print only the brand name on the pack in a standardized size, font, and color. Australia was the first country to require plain packaging for any consumer product when it passed the Tobacco Plain Packaging Act in 2011. Since December 2012, all tobacco products in Australia must be sold in brown-colored packages, with no branding except the name of the brand and variant. The United Kingdom, Ireland and France have also passed laws requiring plain packaging for tobacco products, and other countries are considering similar proposals. Governments that have enacted plain packaging laws argue that they are justified on public health grounds, because the removal of all branding will reduce consumer deception from misleading packaging, will increase the noticeability of health warnings, and will ultimately lead to less smoking. To date, the discussion regarding plain packaging has largely been limited to tobacco products, although some in the public health community have called for similar measures for other consumer products, including alcohol, sugary foods and drinks, and pharmaceuticals. In South Africa, logos and imagery have been prohibited on infant formula and similar products on the basis that they could undermine breastfeeding. The impact of plain packaging on trademark owners and consumers is significant, as manufacturers can no longer use their valuable intellectual property to signify the origin and quality of their products, and consumers are more likely to be confused and unable to distinguish between competing products.

  • Chapter One 'Introduction'
    Indonesian Democracy: The impact of electoral systems on political parties, 1999–2009 Reni Suwarso College of Arts Victoria University Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy April 2016 ABSTRACT This study analyses the impact of electoral systems and electoral mechanics on political parties and party systems, 1999–2009. Throughout this period, Indonesia conducted nearly 500 elections. These elections have their own systems (proportional representation, SNTV (Single Non-Transferable Vote) and majoritarian systems) and each has different mechanics (ballot structure, electoral threshold, electoral formula and district magnitude). They are conducted in the same political, social and cultural environment and are participated in by the same parties and voters. This study was conducted as qualitative research and involved elite interviews with 75 informants during fieldwork in the provinces of DKI-Jakarta, West Java, East Java, South Sulawesi and Riau Islands. This study shows that institutions do matter and electoral systems and electoral mechanics are powerful instruments for institutional engineering with far-reaching impacts for parties and party systems. However, institutionalism has difficulty in explaining the various different processes, unforeseen problems and unexpected impacts. It finds that the changes to electoral systems and electoral mechanics since reformasi 1998 have restored the importance of elections, whereby the ruling elite are no longer able to legitimise themselves through methods other than elections. The importance of political parties has been reinstated by granting them exclusive authority in determining who will control the government and dominate the political system. However, this study finds that practices, such as money politics, vote buying and abuse of authority remained; older figures, such as former members of Golkar, senior government officials and retired military officers, dominated electoral results.
