Limits of Democracy
In this timely book, Brazilian political philosopher Marcos Nobre analyzes the social and political roots of the election of Jair Bolsonaro to the presidency of Brazil and shows how this process is connected to the rise of new far-right movements threatening democracy around the world. Nobre describes the rise of the movement that elected Bolsonaro as a reactionary and anti-democratic highjack of the democratic impulse unleashed by the June 2013 uprisings, when millions of Brazilians took to the streets to protest against a dysfunctional political system, and frames the Brazilian case within the global crisis that exposed the limits of a democracy based on the neoliberal consensus after the ...
The Right in the Americas
The Right in the Americas discusses the origins, development, and current state of conservative and right-wing movements in ten countries in the Americas. The growth of the right is one of the most important issues of the moment in global politics. Within the context of democracy erosion, rejection of traditional politics, and economic uncertainty, right and extreme-right actors are capable of offering misguided answers and hope to a significant part of a country’s population, who will trust their promises and bring them to power with their vote.

The Bolsonaro Paradox
This book presents the first in-depth academic investigation published in English about one of the most radical incarnations of the current global wave of new right-wing movements and governments: the movement that brought to power the current Brazilian president, Jair Bolsonaro. The rise of this new right-wing movement in Brazil came as a surprise to many analysts who used to see the country as a successful example of the implementation of progressive social policies in the first decade of the 21st century, and posed many questions to those seeking to understand the role Brazil now plays in the development of this international far-right wave. The authors of this volume try to answer some o...
Brazil, Land of the Past: The Ideological Roots of the New Right
Brazil, Land of the Past scrutinizes the ideological roots of the so-called New Right in Brazil. The book traces the continuity and resilience of a system of thought based on the idea of a God-given hierarchical order to be defended against any social contract and modernizing relativization. It explains in detail how today a diverse movement — which includes actors ranging from the authoritarian Bolsonaro wing to economic liberals to the military to both Catholic and evangelical religious conservatives – assumes unanimously the ideas of this tradition as underlying premises of their political action. Though not always explicitly, this drives the self-declared “liberal-conservative” but rather anti-modernist reaction which claims to liberate an imaginary authentic “Brazil” from an aberrant “State” – and in so doing intends to preserve inherited privilege in an extremely unequal society.

Introdução ao Liberalismo
Apesar de suas raízes longevas, o liberalismo é uma das mais fascinantes novidades dos tempos modernos. Mesmo tendo proporcionado o aumento do nível de prosperidade e dialogando de forma direta com anseios muito naturais do ser humano, ele vem lidando com diversos ataques e questionamentos. O Instituto Liberal, fundado no Rio de Janeiro em 1983, trabalha para divulgá-lo e sustentá-lo, em suas diversas vertentes, como a melhor alternativa para a organização social. Especialmente para o público falante de língua portuguesa, este "Introdução ao Liberalismo" reúne material, tanto antigo quanto inédito, produzido por diferentes articulistas da instituição, oferecendo uma visão panorâmica do significado dessa corrente de pensamento e da mensagem que a tradição liberal tem a oferecer, com especial atenção para suas manifestações na história das ideias no Brasil e em Portugal.
