“…This seems to be a response to both the official retreat of SSC by the current administration and the rising food insecurity in Brazil as a result of the pandemic, economic decline, and political decisions. 9 It also reflects a decline in support from international organisations for this advocacy work, including by the Oxfam Confederation, Action Aid, and the German Heinrich Boll Foundation (Waisbich 2021b). 10 Support has turned towards strengthening the capacity of Brazilian civil society actors and networks to respond to the new domestic emergencies.…”

“…The argument about continuity amid diatribes and promises of radical change is stronger inLopes et al (2022) to whom Bolsonaro's foreign policy is a case of "more-bark-than-bite".7 The doctoral research was conducted at the University of Cambridge and at the postdoctoral research at the University of Oxford [(seeWaisbich 2021).5 The term "destruction" has been widely employed in public debates by diplomats, experts, and commentators to refer to the nature of the radical policy changes that affected Brazilian Foreign Policy under Bolsonaro. See, for instance Estado de São Paulo (2020).…”

Unpacking the ‘crisis of democracy’ and what is means and does to policy processes is a new and ever-growing agenda. This paper uses the case of Brazil to examine bureaucratic responses, and attempted resistance, to democratic backsliding and policy dismantling in times of autocratisation, notably under Jair Bolsonaro (2019–2022). It does so by focusing on a less explored transnational lenses. It argues that the growing international embeddedness of Brazilian policies, including through policy transfer and technical cooperation initiatives mostly with other developing countries, has provided domestic sectoral bureaucracies and policy communities with additional strategic discursive and argumentative resources to mobilise, respond and try to resist policy dismantling at home.

Having transformed its hinterland to become a major exporter of agricultural commodities, Brazil has, since the mid-2000s, set up a range of South–South cooperation (SSC) initiatives to export its agri-food policies and technologies to othe countries, mainly in Latin America and sub-Saharan Africa. Both the domestic agricultural policies and SSC have been scrutinised and shaped by interactions with civil society actors, from peasant associations and trade unions to rights-based non-governmental organisations. This article explores modes of interaction and interdependence between different civil society and state actors in the context of SSC relating to food security and agricultural development. It analyses changes and continuities in civil society engagement, and mobilisation and de-mobilisation dynamics. Recently, the government’s de-prioritisation of the South–South agenda has been accompanied by very limited civil society activism. The article discusses why this needs attention and the challenges that need to be considered to reinstate productive state–civil society dynamics.
