Explores the implications of recent research on the U.S. Congress for legislative research outside the United States
Sonetos Imperfeitos e Versos Esparsos é uma obra que reúne poemas da juventude: alguns datados, outros sem data, não há uma ordem cronológica, estão lançados de forma aleatória. A temática é diversa e confusa como os anos da mocidade: desde poemas de amor, paixão, devaneios juvenis, metapoemas, glosas e versos esparsos. Em alguns, foi feita a tentativa de compô-los em forma de soneto e outros são experiências poéticas que deixo para fruição dos leitores.
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 ...
Brazil presents a compelling example of twenty-first century democracy in action. In this sequel to their landmark study Democratic Brazil, editors Peter Kingstone and Timothy J. Power have assembled a distinguished group of U.S.- and Brazilian-based scholars to assess the impact of competitive politics on Brazilian government, institutions, economics, and society. The 2002 election of Lula da Silva and his Worker's Party promised a radical shift toward progressive reform, transparency, and accountability, opposing the earlier centrist and market-oriented policies of the Cardoso government. But despite the popular support reflected in his 2006 reelection, many observers claim that Lula and h...
Legislative debates make democracy and representation work. Political actors engage in legislative debates to make their voice heard to voters. Parties use debates to shore up their brand. This book makes the most comprehensive study of legislative debates thus far, looking at the politics of legislative debates in 33 liberal democracies in Europe, North America and Latin America, Africa, Asia, and Oceania. The book begins with theoretical chapters focused on the key concepts in the study of legislative debates. Michael Laver, Slapin and Proksch, and Taylor examine the politics of legislative debates in parliamentary and presidential democracies. Subsequently, Goplerud makes a critical revie...
Shugart et Carey croient que les démocraties présidentielles où les législateurs ont une conception restreinte de la représentation politique sont inefficaces dun point de vue électoral car elles noffrent pas aux électeurs de possibilités de choix faciles à reconnaître parmi des politiques à léchelon national. Ces démocraties sont régies par un secret inefficace, cest-à-dire une conception de la dynamique politique indépendante dun parti. ...

Brazil has undergone transformative change since the 1980s, from an authoritarian regime to a democratic society advancing on all fronts—political, social, economic, and diplomatic. In Starting Over, Albert Fishlow traces the evolution of this member of the BRICS group over the last twenty-five years and looks toward the future as the newly elected president, Dilma Rousseff, follows her very popular predecessor, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, or "Lula." The transformation of the country began with the founding of the Nova República and the Constitution of 1988, which established a strong executive and encased key social principles such as a citizen's right to education and health care. Then ...
