“…Evidence of paradiplomatic activities in Brazil can be found dating back to 1891, when states started to enjoy the benefits of a decentralized government in the very first years of the federal regime. At that time, states celebrated financial contracts with international entities, including lending institutions, which led to excessive foreign debt (Maia & Saraiva, 2012). While levels of paradiplomacy in Brazil changed throughout the twentieth century, the autonomy of subnational entities was later Although the 1988 Constitution decentralized much of the control imposed by the authoritative regime of the prior years, it clearly established that foreign affairs activities are sole responsibility of the national level.…”

International governmental networks used to be centralized. However, the formal and informal decentralization of diplomatic relations through local governments and regions has placed the subnational governments as international actors. The subnational parallel pursuit of international relations has been termed paradiplomacy. Knowing "why or how" subnational governments engage in paradiplomacy is relevant because international networks have the potential to foster innovation, cooperation, transfer of knowledge, and international aid. However, not all jurisdictions engage in international relations despite the potential symbolic and material benefits. Scholars have explained local engagement in international relations through economic, cooperative, and political considerations. Without denying their explanatory power, we hypothesize that organizational structures, specifically local prointernational structures, foster paradiplomacy, while political support discourages paradiplomatic activities. To investigate subnational variation in paradiplomacy engagement, we rely on a survey covering all 5565 Brazilian municipalities in 2012. Findings suggest the existence of local pro-international structures is positively correlated with municipal international projects and municipal participation in international networks.

“…The credit activity of Brazilian subnational entities is not a recent phenomenon. Maia and Saraiva (2012) report detailed operations with international organizations developed more than one century ago. However, in recent years there has been a more frequent experience of obtaining alternative sources from national public and private banks, as well as from paradiplomatic experience.…”

Purpose This paper aims to address the discussion on the credit disbursement of US$28.6bn from Brazilian National Economic and Social Development Bank (BNDES) to Brazilian state governments during the period from 2009 to 2014. They try to identify the main drivers of the credit allocation in both cross state and time. Design/methodology/approach The authors use a dynamic balanced panel to estimate the role of technical and socioeconomic variables. Findings The results suggest that the states’ need for financing via BNDES exhibits neither inertial nor explosive behavior. The authors find an efficiency elasticity of this resource of 0.20. In addition, the impact of a positive change in the state fiscal status leads to an increase of 2.5 per cent in the indebtedness capacity. Finally, they find that wealthier states are more successful in demanding credit from BNDES. Practical implications This analysis of resource allocation is useful for modeling the determinants of international financial institutions as central planners. The authors also invite researchers to discuss the decision-making processes that characterize the federative pact in Brazil. Originality/value Although a burgeoning body of literature has examined the role of BNDES as a creditor institution for firms, its relationship with the public sector, in special subnational governments, has been rarely studied.

“…Recent research reveals that during the Republica Velha, from 1890 to 1930, Brazilian constituent units were very active in international capital markets, becoming crucial in shaping the integration of the new Brazil into the nascent global economy. That era of sub-state activism, particularly salient in the fields of foreign trade and external borrowing, came to an end with the 1930 Revolution, ushering in a new era of centralisation which culminated in the Estado Novo dictatorship, from 1937 to 1945 (Maia and Saraiva 2012). Democratisation processes, at the end of the century, enabled the recovery of these old practices, helping to forge one of the most distinctive elements of twenty-first century Brazilian federalism (e.g.…”

Abstract:The idea of a perfect national political community, entirely confined within the contours of a corresponding state, is one of the foundational fictions of global modernity. Its formal crystallisation in the legal grammars of the right to self-determination has been however, particularly in the post-colonial era, highly problematic and full of ambiguities. Drawing on this background, this article contends that diplomacy offers frequently a more promising venue for dealing with the challenge of political pluralism than appealing to either the unstable grammars of the right to self-determination or a reified understanding of the principle of territorial integrity of states. In so doing, firstly, the right to self-determination is critically examined. Instead of attempting to articulate its formal content, the malleability of its legal grammars and political realities, will be emphasised. Secondly, based on the discussion of a variety of historical cases, the notion of ‘constituent diplomacies’ will be advanced, aiming to show how the agonistic accommodation of political and territorial pluralism through diplomacy was crucial not only in the formative processes of modern sovereign states but also nowadays. Finally, this relational understanding of the historical forms of governance of political pluralism within and beyond state boundaries will be re-examined, beyond its ethno-political dimensions, through the prism of the complex interplay between the material and ideational conditions for the co-production of sovereignty in the context of new global capitalism.
