Ideas, Policy Entrepreneurs, And ENERGY REVOLUTION: IDEAS, POLICY ENTREPRENEURS, AND INSTITUTIONAL CHANGE IN BRAZIL FOLLOWING THE 1973 OIL CRISIS by Liliana Paola Diaz Barrrera A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland May, 2018 © Liliana Diaz 2018 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT This research focuses on the role of ideas in policymaking. It examines the Brazilian energy policy response to the 1973 oil crisis. Today, Brazil is the 10th largest energy producer in the world with a diversified and clean energy matrix. In the early 1970s, it was an energy poorcountry highly dependent on imported oil supplies to fuel an aggressive industrialization process. How did Brazil manage to transform its energy profile? To answer this question, I argue that it is necessary to study the policymaking process that led to the adoption of energy diversification policies in 1974-75. Structural, exogenous, institutional, and ideational factors affected the policymaking process and thus the resulting policies. Although structural and exogenous factors played important catalyst and enabling roles, I argued that four old Developmentalist ideas, namely, 1) national development through industrialization; 2) energy as a growing point for the economy; 3) self-sufficiency; and 4) technological autonomy recombined by able policy entrepreneurs who acted through centralized institutions and through the creation of new institutions explain the policy course adopted by Brazil in the energy sector. The result was revolutionary or transformational change in the Brazilian energy sector. The research contributes to explaining the role and impact of ideas in effecting institutional change in a less developed and authoritarian setting and in doing so, fills a knowledge gap in the academic literature on Brazil with respect to its energy sector. It also sheds light on the outcome of state intervention in this sector during the 1974-1979 period and contributes to the Developmental state literature. ii DEDICATION This thesis work is dedicated to my parents, who sadly no longer accompany me. This accomplishment is as much theirs as it is mine. From my father I learned that perseverance and hard work achieve a great deal. My mother taught me to dream big, fly high, and spread my wings. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Undertaking this PhD has been a truly life-changing experience and it would not have been possible to pursue it without the support and guidance that I received from many people. Firstly, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my advisor and professor Dr. Riordan Roett for his continuous support of my PhD study. If I have done something correctly in this journey is to have you as my advisor and to have chosen a topic I am extremely passionate about. Thank you so much for your support and patience. I am deeply indebted to my professor –and ad-hoc advisor- Dr. Francisco González. During the past 11 years, Dr. Gonzalez has been a tremendous mentor. I would like to thank him for encouraging my research, coming to my rescue in times of need and self-doubt, and finally, for giving me an opportunity to share my research with the students and learn the art of teaching. I would also like to thank Dr. Robert Devlin, Dr. Matthias Matthijs and Dr. Leandro Alves for serving on my committee. Over the past five and half years, I have received support and encouragement from a great number of individuals at SAIS. I am greatly indebted to the Latin American Studies program and its staff. I would also like also to extend thanks to the many people in Brazil who generously contributed to the work presented in this thesis. A special thanks to my family. My gratitude goes to my siblings who not only encouraged me, but at times helped fund this project. I would not be where I am today without the love and support of my children Mateo and Sofia- I love you. Words cannot express how grateful I am to my husband, Nano, for being the rock that supports me and the engine that pushes me to excel. iv CONTENTS ABSTRACT

I am indeed thankful for the assistance given me by Gertrude Heare of the TJhited States Department of Commerce in allowing me to borrow ’’the only available copy" of the 1964*’1966 development plan, which was replete with pertinent statistics and projections. And finally, I must show more than appreciation for the tremendous amount of assistance from my wife in the fora of preliminary and final typing, editing, and en- couragement throughout the whole period, from research to completion of the work. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 1 PART I.

    BRAZILIAN Military Culture 2018 Jack D. Gordon Institute for Public Policy | Kimberly Green Latin American and Caribbean Center By Luis Bitencourt The FIU-USSOUTHCOM Academic Partnership Military Culture Series Florida International University’s Jack D. Gordon Institute for Public Policy (FIU-JGI) and FIU’s Kimberly Green Latin American and Caribbean Center (FIU-LACC), in collaboration with the United States Southern Command (USSOUTHCOM), formed the FIU-SOUTHCOM Academic Partnership. The partnership entails FIU providing research-based knowledge to further USSOUTHCOM’s understanding of the political, strategic, and cultural dimensions that shape military behavior in Latin America and the Caribbean. This goal is accomplished by employing a military culture approach. This initial phase of military culture consisted of a yearlong research program that focused on developing a standard analytical framework to identify and assess the military culture of three countries. FIU facilitated professional presentations of two countries (Cuba and Venezuela) and conducted field research for one country (Honduras). The overarching purpose of the project is two-fold: to generate a rich and dynamic base of knowledge pertaining to political, social, and strategic factors that influence military behavior; and to contribute to USSOUTHCOM’s Socio-Cultural Analysis (SCD) Program. Utilizing the notion of military culture, USSOUTHCOM has commissioned FIU-JGI to conduct country-studies in order to explain how Latin American militaries will behave in the context

Bolsonaro, the least worst for corporates 04 No medium-term game changer – but probable disenchant- ment 06 What it means for corporates: Not home and dry yet Bolsonaro’s Brazil: What does it mean for corporates? by Euler Hermes Economic Research President-elect Jair Bolsonaro and his outwardly pro-business policy EXECUTIVE platform are the “least worst” choice for corporates. In the short-term, we expect quick wins with reforms that only need a simple majority in SUMMARY Congress. These reforms will appeal to a broad pro-business and conservative audience. Bolsonaro’s business environment reform could also lead to the creation of 90 000 additional companies in 2019 compared to 2018. The positive confidence shock could add roughly +0.3pp to economic growth over the next year. Yet, the relief for corporates could be short-lived.

This could unnerve markets should he not detail his plan before taking office. Besides, his key budget proposal (to reach primary fiscal balance in 2019) is unrealistic. It involves a huge fiscal adjustment of 2.4% of GDP. Such austerity could cut as much as -1.2pp to real GDP growth in a year, while Brazil’s yearly growth rate is currently barely above +1.3%.

  • OECD Economic Surveys BRAZIL the COVID-19 Pandemic Has Caused Severe Human Suffering and Triggered a Deep Recession in Brazil
    OECD Economic Surveys Surveys Economic OECD BRAZIL The COVID-19 pandemic has caused severe human suffering and triggered a deep recession in Brazil. Economic policies reacted in a timely and decisive manner to the crisis, supporting millions of Brazilians. But a strong and inclusive recovery from the recession will require long-lasting improvements in economic OECD Economic Surveys policies. Improving fi scal outcomes remains one of Brazil’s principal challenges given a high debt burden, to which the pandemic has added signifi cantly. Public spending will need to become more effi cient, including by building on past progress in the fi ght against corruption and economic crimes. Social protection can be strengthened through a better focus on the most effective policies and benefi ts, which could allow signifi cant BRAZIL reductions in inequality and poverty. Stronger growth will hinge on raising productivity, which has been virtually stagnant for decades. This requires addressing underlying policy challenges, including reducing regulatory burdens, reforming taxes, strengthening judicial effi ciency and fostering a stronger integration into the global economy. Raising productivity implies reallocations and structural changes in the economy, which should be accompanied by well-designed training and education policies. Training with a strong focus on local skill demand can help workers master the transition and seize new opportunities to move into better jobs.

  • STATE-OWNED ENTERPRISES in BRAZIL: HISTORY and LESSONS by Aldo Musacchio and Sergio G
    Workshop on State-Owned Enterprises in the Development Process Paris, 4 April 2014 OECD Conference Centre, Room 4 STATE-OWNED ENTERPRISES IN BRAZIL: HISTORY AND LESSONS by Aldo Musacchio and Sergio G. Lazzarini This paper serves as background material for the Workshop on SOEs in the Development Process taking place in Paris on 4 April 2014. It was prepared by Aldo Musacchio and Sergio G. Lazzarini working as consultants for the OECD Secretariat. The opinions and views expressed and arguments employed herein are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect or represent the official views of the OECD or of the governments of its member countries. STATE-OWNED ENTERPRISES IN BRAZIL: HISTORY AND LESSONS Aldo Musacchio Harvard Business School and NBER Sergio G. Lazzarini Insper Prepared for The Working Party on State-Ownership and Privatisation Practices OECD (Revised version, February 28, 2014) INTRODUCTION Despite decades of liberalization and privatization in many countries, state ownership and state-led business activity remains widespread (Christiansen, 2011). Governments still often use state-owned enterprises (SOEs) to promote local development and invest in sectors in which private investment is scant. Many SOEs endured over the years and turned into large corporations partnering with market investors and competing on a global scale against private multinationals. The forms of ownership and control governments use in the set of surviving SOEs is, however, poorly understood. Beyond the traditional wholly-owned SOEs, governments also intervene to support specific industries by propping up privately held enterprises (i.e., “national champions”). These private firms receive government support in the form of minority equity investments, direct subsidized loans from development banks, and equity and debt purchases by sovereign wealth funds.
