  • January 01 - 09, 2015
    São Paulo – Brazil January 01 - 09, 2015 Fiscal Composure 01/01/2015 After a series of accounting maneuvers and last-minute legal fixes, the true scale of the damage to Brazil's National Treasury this year is unlikely to be known until the end of January. Even without taking into account the duty on public debt, the government accumulated a deficit of US $6.9 billion from January to November, a shocking deterioration since 2011, when the government achieved a surplus of US $35.2 billion. Given the lack of transparency with which the public finances have been dealt with, it is still uncertain what approach the outgoing economic team will take. In the best hypothesis, all spending that has been planned will be completed, including those that have been postponed for months or even years. However, there remains the fear that in order to present favorable accounts, the government will repeat the trick of transferring for the following year an increasing slice of its expenses, creating another obstacle on top of the adjustment planned for President Dilma Rousseff's second term. The incoming finance minister, Joaquim Levy, will have to take the fiscal promises made by the government with a generous pinch of salt. While the announcement of surplus targets equivalent to 1.2% of GDP in 2015 and 2% in 2015 and 2017 has been well received, it is not enough to restore the confidence of business leaders and investors. Doubts also hang over the government's ability to increase tax revenues, and especially over the level of freedom the new economic team will be granted by the Rousseff administration.

  • Brazil and the Formation of the New Development Bank
    MASTER THESIS INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS RADBOUD UNIVERSITEIT NIJMEGEN Changing the rules of the game: Brazil and the formation of the New Development Bank Exploring Brazil´s motivation for supporting the creation of the New Development Bank Student: Juliana Garcia Marçal da Silva Supervisor: Dr. Thomas Eimer August 2015 MASTER’S THESIS Submitted to the Department of Political Science Radboud University Nijmegen in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Supervised by Dr. T.R. Eimer 2015 Nijmegen School of Management Word Count: 26.233 ii Abstract This research is aimed at explaining why Brazil decided to expand its economic cooperation with other BRICS countries by forming the New Development Bank (NDB). From a liberal perspective, Brazil’s support is questionable since it is already an active member of the current international financial institutions, such as the IMF and World Bank. Why did Brazil make such an effort to form another economic organisation? This is puzzling in two ways: First, there is no precedent in the history of international relations where a group of emergent countries collaborated to create an international financial institution without the support of established hegemonies. Second, it is unclear why Brazil has put so much effort in creating a new bank, considering the country is already an active member of the Bretton Woods institutions. In order to fully understand the Brazilian reasons and to provide a wider understanding, two theoretical frameworks are used to guide this research: the mercantilist theory and the dependency theory. The choice of these two different approaches is partially motivated by the different roots.

Abstract What makes governments decide to engage in cooperation with their neighbours to deliver regional public goods? Under which conditions do they decide to keep this cooperation informal, and when do they instead prefer to formalise it through an international treaty? Why do government seem to be more capable to produce regional public goods in some policy-areas than in others? The present research addresses these questions by analysing the contemporary South American-wide regionalism from 2000 to 2014, the period in which the Initiative for the Integration of Regional
