“…As Melissa Teixeira wrote, 'One of the most important legal conversations to connect Portuguese and Brazilian jurists during the interwar decades was the rise of corporatist constitutionalism'. 59 However, the great creator of the political institutions of the Brazilian Estado Novo, the minister Francisco Campos, a jurist updated on all European models, did not mention Salazarism when he created the 1937 Constitution and designed the institutions of the regime, although most did not has seen the light of day. 60 The other great creator of corporatist institutions, Oliveira Viana, knew the Portuguese case extremely well but did not but was far from being all-inclusive sympathizer of Salazarism.…”

As an authoritarian ‘gravity centre’ in the interwar period, the Portuguese New State was not the product of strong propaganda or power capacity. Its force of attraction derived, essentially, from having an international means of diffusion: important segments of the Catholic Church's organizations, its associated intellectual politicians, and particularly from having led a corporatist and authoritarian political system model. How and why did Salazar's New State inspire some of the new political institutions proposed by radical right-wing elites or created by many of these regimes? This article tackles this issue by adopting a transnational and comparative research approach, paying particular attention to the primary mediators of its diffusion and analyzing institutional reform processes in selected processes of crises and transitions to authoritarianism in Latin America.

Trabalhismo and the 'populist' Vargas were in the making.…”

The Authoritarian 'Reverse Wave' of the Interwar Period in Latin America In his review of the Oxford Handbook of Fascism (2009), edited by Richard Bosworth, Roger Griffin stressed that it was ironic that the task was given to an historian that "has in the past often expressed his irritation with those concerned with 'the history of fascism' (or rather 'comparative fascist studies') (…) In some respects, then, asking Bosworth to be the Duce of OUP's ambitious project is like asking a vegan restaurateur to head a team of cooks preparing a medieval banquet where spits rotate slowly, laden with basted pigs and lambs". 1 In fact, and contrary to Bosworth, as Roger Griffin demonstrates in is masterful The Nature of Fascism (1996), Mussolini Dictatorship provided powerful institutional and political inspiration for other regimes of the "Era of Fascism". Mussolini' type of leadership, institutions and operating methods already encapsulated the dominant models of the twentieth-century dictatorship at least in three domains: personalised leadership, the single or dominant party, and the 'technico-consultative' political institutions, based on
