“…Diesen Autor_innen zufolge fand keine ideologische Umorientierung statt, sondern vielmehr eine positive Bewertung der Wirtschafts-und Sozialpolitik -insbesondere bei Empfänger_innen sozialer Transferleistungen. Dieses Argument hat ein größeres Erklärungspotenzial als die Variable Ideologie, deren Aussagekraft begrenzt ist, da sich die Mehrheit der Wähler_innen nicht klar auf einer Rechts-Links-Skala einordnen lässt (Carreirão 2002;Turgeon/Rennó 2010;Oliveira/Turgeon 2015).…”

Brazil is currently experiencing a conservative turn, which has found expression not only in Jair Bolsonaro’s presidency (2019–2022) but also in the phenomenon of so-called milícias expanding in low-income neighborhoods as well as in the emergence of anti-social movements that identify themselves as right-wing and conservative. In this context, the paper uses the example of the Rio de Janeiro Metropolitan Region to discuss the relationship between (i) the emergence of conservative and far-right groups; (ii) the expansion of milícias in the city of Rio de Janeiro; and (iii) their influence on voting behavior in low-income, milícia-dominated neighborhoods in elections between 2018 and 2022. The forms of territorial control practiced by milícias, including information networks, disciplinary social control, mediation between individual and collective interests, and electoral control, have not yet received sufficient attention from authorities or in social analysis and research. A number of political organizations and alternative media are responsible for spreading antidemocratic values and practices. In doing so, they seek to legitimize the undercurrent conservative turn in the country and to weaken the links between urban experience and democracy.

“…Attitudes and beliefs about ideology, individualism and the role of the government are not deeply ingrained in Brazil because, in general, political knowledge is poor (BARTELS, 1996;LUSKIN, 2002). Surveys consistently demonstrate that the level of political education of the general public in Brazil, and much of the world, is low (DELLI CARPINI and KEETER, 1996;TURGEON and RENNÓ, 2010). As a result, purely political and ideological motives are unlikely to explain the rejection of racial policies by whites.…”

Recently in Brazil, public policies have begun to be implemented to reduce discrimination and promote the inclusion of excluded social groups based on a specific individual characteristic: race. However, there is little public consensus about such policies, especially among whites. In this work, I look at the racial attitudes towards affirmative action among white college students. I make use of new research methods for the empirical study of socially sensitive issues and ask whether these attitudes stem from prejudice, conflicts between social groups or individual political predispositions. Furthermore, I ask what is the relationship between political knowledge and such racial attitudes. I use the list experiment method because of its potential to offset the under-representation of opinions and attitudes. This approach allows respondents to be indirectly questioned, ensuring greater sincerity in their answers and, hence, providing more accurate portrayal of attitudes. This study shows that white respondents' answers on affirmative action policies are strongly affected by social desirability. Only 6% of white respondents agreed that it is important to have a quota policy for blacks at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC). Individuals with greater political knowledge tend to express greater support for affirmative action and hold more coherent racial attitudes Results also reveal that negative racial attitudes and political predispositions are both determinants of the white student's attitudes towards affirmative action policies. Keywords: Affirmative action; racial attitudes; public opinion; political knowledge; experiment. he implementation of affirmative action policies in Brazil to promote the inclusion of social groups excluded specifically based on race are a recent development. These policies vary from the creation of quotas that promote access of blacks to higher education to universalist efforts to reduce the impoverished Brazilian populations composed mostly of blacks (TELLES and BAILEY, 2002) 1 . However, the perception of these policies by white individuals is not well understood.In this article, I present a study of racial attitudes among white college students at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) and their opposition to affirmative action. Attitudes against affirmative action encompass a variety of arguments and values, which include some of the following notions: affirmative action consists of an unfair preferential policy; the policy is reverse discrimination; and the policy stigmatizes the people they want to help (BOBO, 1999;SEARS et al., 1997).The purpose of this article is to advance our understanding of white opposition to affirmative action in Brazilian federal public universities. I draw on the literatures of the three main schools of thought explaining opposition to racial policies in the UnitedStates, all of which propose competing theories. However, these theories are often discussed in the context of race being a discrete, or even binary, entity. How can these t...

“…Embora estudos no Brasil tenham relacionado a confiança nos governos a diferentes facetas atitudinais, a exemplo do apoio ao presidente e o combate à corrupção (Colen, 2010), seus efeitos sobre as preferências acerca de gastos do Estado e impostos (Turgeon, Rennó, 2010) e suas relações com a (in)satisfação com a democracia (Moisés, Carneiro, 2008), pouco se tem estudado sobre como esta afeta atitudes em relação aos níveis de governo. Em tempo, as conexões entre confiança e preferências sobre a distribuição vertical da autoridade não têm sido estudadas, inclusive porque, assim como ocorre nos Estados Unidos (Dinan, Heckelman, 2020), surveys com representatividade nacional que tenham como objeto as atitudes do eleitor diante da federação são escassos no Brasil.…”

Resumo As crises política e econômica que assolaram o Brasil nos últimos anos do governo Dilma resultaram em uma queda substancial nos níveis de confiança no governo central. Estes caíram de 57,10% em 2013, com Dilma Rousseff (PT) como presidente, para 13,35% em 2018. Este artigo investiga o impacto desse fenômeno sobre as atitudes dos eleitores em relação à distribuição de poder entre os níveis de governo no Brasil. Com base em dois surveys inéditos com representatividade nacional, mostramos que a queda de confiança no governo central reduziu o apoio ao aumento do poder da União na federação brasileira, mas, contraintuitivamente, não resultou em crescimento de atitudes descentralistas, em direção distinta da encontrada para o caso norte-americano. A crise de confiança no governo central que se instalou entre esses dois pontos no tempo mudou significativamente a importância da confiança como um fator preditivo de atitudes centralistas. Em conjunto, esses resultados mostram que a opinião pública sobre a federação não se opõe ao nível de centralização existente no Brasil, e também alertam para a importância dos choques de confiança para entendermos como esta última afeta a formação de atitudes centralistas.
