A Onda rosa na América Latina: caso brasileiro

Abstract

The present paper aims to study and analyze the rise case of left-wing governments in South America in the light of the Brazilian case, hereby, it uses the historic context of liberalism and its effects on latin societies. It goes on showing that the left- wing parties were gaining strength in response to the neoliberal model, exposes the trajectory and chronology of the leftist movement in the countries and lastly focuses on the Brazilian case. The decision to focus on Brazilian case came as a result of the country importance to the region, as well as being a country that has suffered a impeachment recently, taking away the left- wing president and implementing orthodoxes policies contrary to the policies previously applied by the PT party. In this sense, there will be a left- wing government trajectory analysis to investigate whether the deep recession in which the country finds itself is the result of the social policies implemented by Lula and Dilma’s governments.
