I declare that my thesis consists of 99,456 words1. 1 41,226 of those are the ‘Notes on the Content of Enacted Bills Analysed’, which I was advise to include in the final word count. 2 Abstract The research examines the forces that affect the deliberation and passage of gender- related policy in the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies. It analyses the formal and informal institutions that organise the legislative environment and influence gender policy processes and outcomes. I developed an original database that traces all 1,561 gender-related bills deliberated in the lower house for the past 20 years, through each stage of the legislative process. I make a comparison between three different governments and present a detailed examination of bill content through both quantitative and qualitative analyses and interviews with members of the women’s caucus. The thesis is divided into three parts. First, the historical background, description of the case study and mapping of the formal and informal networks, connections and rules that affect gender policy. Second, the collection and analysis of evidence in each government using five variables: legislative agenda control; the executive; the women’s caucus and women’s movements; international agreements; and religiously-based opposition. And third, a comparison between the three governments and the trends seen in terms of the different themes deliberated. The research shows that there was a clear increase in gender bills presented and enacted over time as a result of changes in the institutional context, in particular the election of the Workers’ Party (PT) and the establishment of a Women’s Policy Agency. Although action by women’s organisations during all stages of the legislative process was a fundamental condition for positive outcomes, on its own it would not have been sufficient to accomplish change. The ability of the women’s caucus and women’s movements to reach their goals varied depending on the institutional context. Influential forces such as party elites and the elected executive played a key role. 3 Acknowledgements I would like to thank the Politics Department at Birkbeck, University of London and especially my supervisors Joni Lovenduski and Rosie Campbell. I am grateful for their academic mentorship and for their time, invaluable comments, and insights generously shared with me. I would also like to thank my external supervisor Fiona Macaulay for sharing her knowledge of gender politics in Brazil that greatly helped me and was an essential part of this thesis. Moreover, both external examiners - Timothy Power from the University of Oxford and Fiona Mackay from the University of Edinburgh - contributed a vital component to the final product. I am thankful to the staff of the Centro Feminista de Estudos e Assessoria – Cfemea in Brasília, the Politics Department at the Federal University of Minas Gerais, and professor Marlise Matos for their helpfulness in sharing contacts, information, and networks. Furthermore, the members of the women’s caucus of the 54th Legislature of the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies and their generosity with their time were of crucial importance in supplementing my findings with critical insights. I would also like to thank Mike Crean for proofreading the final version of the thesis. Finally, the research would not have been possible without Marc Crean’s help with proofreading, formatting, editing, and with much needed encouragement and support throughout the last four years. 4 Table of contents ABSTRACT ...................................................................................................................................................................... 3 INTRODUCTION AND THESIS RATIONALE ....................................................................................................... 12 RESEARCH QUESTIONS ............................................................................................................................................ 13 RESEARCH GOALS ..................................................................................................................................................... 14 THEORETICAL BACKGROUND ................................................................................................................................. 14 METHODOLOGY ......................................................................................................................................................... 17 CHAPTER OUTLINE .................................................................................................................................................. 20 DEFINITION OF KEY CONCEPTS ............................................................................................................................. 22 HYPOTHESIS .............................................................................................................................................................. 26 CHAPTER 1 BACKGROUND OF THE BRAZILIAN CASE .................................................................................. 28 THE 1980S - THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE WOMEN’S MOVEMENTS AND THE WORKERS’ PARTY28 THE 1990S - FERNANDO HENRIQUE CARDOSO’S GOVERNMENT .................................................................... 32 THE INTERNATIONALISATION OF THE WOMEN’S MOVEMENT IN THE 1990S .............................................. 35 THE EARLY 2000S AND THE WORKERS’ PARTY TRANSITION TO POWER .................................................... 37 LULA’S GOVERNMENT (2003-2010) AND ITS EFFECTS ON GENDER EQUALITY ......................................... 40 DILMA ROUSSEFF’S FIRST TERM IN GOVERNMENT............................................................................................ 45 CONCLUSION .............................................................................................................................................................. 51 CHAPTER 2 THEORIES AND METHODS ............................................................................................................. 54 METHODOLOGY ......................................................................................................................................................... 54 FIRST VARIABLE: LEGISLATIVE AGENDA CONTROL ........................................................................................... 57 The committee system ........................................................................................................................................... 60 Urgent procedures................................................................................................................................................... 63 SECOND VARIABLE: THE EXECUTIVE .................................................................................................................... 66 Executive control of the legislative agenda ................................................................................................. 67 5 Women’s Policy Agencies ..................................................................................................................................... 70 THIRD VARIABLE: THE WOMEN’S CAUCUS AND WOMEN’S MOVEMENTS ...................................................... 72 FOURTH VARIABLE: INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATIONS .................................................................................... 77 FIFTH VARIABLE: RELIGIOUSLY-BASED OPPOSITION IN CONGRESS ................................................................ 82 CONCLUSION .............................................................................................................................................................. 85 CHAPTER 3 FERNANDO HENRIQUE CARDOSO’S TWO TERMS IN GOVERNMENT .............................. 88 FIRST VARIABLE: LEGISLATIVE AGENDA CONTROL ..........................................................................................

Dedico-o, especialmente, à Dediane Souza, pela amizade, pelo aprendizado e pela inspiração. Aprendi com Dê que as questões teóricas só têm sentido se forem utilizadas como instrumentos críticos de transformação social. AGRADECIMENTOS Parece que foi ontem... Juliana lendo a primeira versão do meu projeto de pesquisa (e me falando de Ilca); Ana Rita lendo a última (e me sugerindo acrescentar Joan Scott); o primeiro encontro com Luciana, nos corredores da UFSC, durante o processo seletivo; as professoras Joana, Roselane e o professor Rogério me entrevistando, na sala do LEGH; a aprovação no doutorado; a comemoração com Letícia... Não foi ontem. Foi há um pouco mais de quatro anos. Desde então, graças ao doutorado, os encontros e as amizades (muitas delas têm a idade desta tese) se multiplicaram. A dificuldade de interromper este trabalho se deveu, em parte, ao temor da orfandade dos momentos felizes proporcionados pelo doutorado. Todavia, assim como esta pesquisa não se encerra com esta tese, os encontros e as amizades também não (não foi fácil me convencer disso). Avante! É justamente às pessoas queridas, cujas presenças atravessam este texto, que manifesto os meus mais profundos agradecimentos.

  • The Experience of the Partido Dos Trabalhadores in Espirito Santo, 1995-98
    1 A Bitter Pill to Swallow: The Experience of the Partido dos Trabalhadores in Espirito Santo, 1995-98 By Guy Burton The past year has shed some interesting light on the Brazilian Partido dos Trabalhadores. Last October they were celebrating some big municipal victories in Sao Paulo and Belo Horizonte, but more recently, PT governors in both Rio Grande do Sul and Mato Grosso do Sul have been questioned by some in the party whether they are governing in a way deemed correct. It is in the context of these two very different experiences that this paper considers the role the PT played in Espirito Santo between 1995 and 1998. Given the importance granted to both sets of experiences, it is surprising that very little appears to have been written on the subject. Indeed, it would appear that most scholarly literature on the PT to date has tended to focus on its experience in municipal government. This is justifiable when one considers the fact that the PT had only experienced this level of sub-national government up to 1994. In that year the PT took its next step, entering into the state level governments of Espirito Santo and Brasilia. But while the Brasilia model has been studied with varying degrees of attention, in particular Governor Christovam Buarque’s innovation in education through the bolsa escola 1, very little attention has been paid to the experience of Vitor Buaiz and the PT in Espirito Santo. To a certain extent this silence may be due in part to most of the documentary material relating to that period has yet to be catalogued.
