“…Its study goes back to Leal (1997Leal ( [1949) and Faoro (2001Faoro ( [1958), who discuss the clientelist foundations of the Brazilian political culture (Cintra, 1974;Graham, 1990). Although reforms in the organization of the Brazilian state (Souza and Lamounier, 2006) and civil society (LaValle et al, 2006) have affected the political culture, clientelism remains a feature (Bezerra, 1999;de Freitas, 2003;Kuschnir and Carneiro, 1999;Koster, 2009), as it does in many other modern democracies (e.g. Auyero and Joseph, 2007;Holzner, 2007).…”

This article takes a fresh look at political brokerage as a complex, provisional and contested phenomenon. Although brokerage has received little recent attention, I show how it remains critical to understanding the urban poor’s involvement in electoral politics. The article focuses on how local community leaders in a Recife slum, Brazil, operate as brokers during elections. Here, they have to deal with the different interests of their patrons (politicians) and their clients (their fellow slum dwellers), and also with the latter’s contradictory views on electoral politics. Slum dwellers combine a positive image, in which electoral politics provides access to resources, with a negative image, in which it contaminates all those involved, including the brokers. Further, by showing how these slum dwellers perceive electoral politics as coming from ‘another world’, this study counters the still prevalent functionalist understandings of brokerage which depict brokers as the forgers of a shared moral universe.

“…O conteúdo do texto desta reforma continha propostas advindas de projetos de lei que haviam sido apresentados na legislatura anterior, mais precisamente, em 1999. No entanto, as tentativas de reforma política estavam presentes desde o Congresso Constituinte de 1987de -1988LAMOUNIER, 2006). Estes dados reforçam o fato de que esta discussão, ou seja, a importância de uma reforma do sistema político brasileiro, já é um debate antigo, sendo capaz de mobilizar a opinião de grande parcela de políticos, sobretudo, no legislativo.…”

O objetivo deste artigo é promover uma análise dos discursos provenientes de deputados federais evangélicos durante as sessões do Grande Expediente na 52ª Legislatura da Câmara dos Deputados (2003-2006) sobre a proposta de reforma política apresentada, o Projeto de Lei nº 2679 de 2003 elaborado pela Comissão Especial de Reforma Política. A teoria do discurso desenvolvida por Ernesto Laclau e Chantal Mouffe servirá como principal aporte teórico-metodológico deste artigo visto pela possibilidade que esta vertente teórica abre para a compreensão do discurso enquanto prática política na proposta de análise aqui apresentada. Nesta perspectiva, o artigo visa contribuir através de seus resultados para dar mais visibilidade ao assunto, ou seja, o estudo da denominada “bancada evangélica” no Congresso Nacional, buscando, desta forma, explorar o tema com o auxílio de novas técnicas de pesquisa provenientes da análise discursiva.

The Brazilian sub-imperialist strategy of regional insertion

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyze the Brazilian strategy of regional insertion with the support of the Marxist Theory of Dependency (MTD), represented by the work of Ruy Mauro Marini because it allows for the consideration of relations of power within the national scenario and policies resulting from class alliances embedded in the domestic structure of dependency. Design/methodology/approach – The paper discusses the main positions concerning the Varieties of Capitalism approach, arguing that the MTD and specifically Marini’s work can contribute to overcoming some of its limits. These arguments are illustrated through the analysis of the Brazilian strategy of regional competitive insertion focusing on the IIRSA project and the Brazilian Multinational Companies directly involved. Findings – The concept of sub-imperialism has helped to understand the logic behind the Brazilian strategy of regional insertion as part of a historical trajectory that includes the re-edition of a political drive for being the regional leader; the privilege of class fractions benefiting from the access to public funds and new markets (necessary to guarantee their continued and increased profitability); the reinforcement of regional inequalities and, at the same time, the reproduction of Brazilian dependency. Originality/value – A renewed MTD can contribute to understanding the specific politico-economic strategies of peripheral countries. It can also overcome the limits of the Varieties of Capitalism approach by articulating the economic and political dimensions; by avoiding the structural – functionalist constrains of the institutional perspective; and by allowing the consideration of marginalized voices, rather than considering only the institutionalized ones.
