Desenvolvimento político-econômico na acumulação neoliberal: uma análise das propostas institucionais e político-econômicas contemporâneas no Brasil

Abstract

The present work analyzes the proposal of “social-developmentalist” strategies in its political-economic and legal-institutional scope, in order to verify the significance of these proposals for the demands of democratic development and economic growth in Brazil. In this sense, in the first chapter, we analyze the 1970s transition of accumulation regimes. From Fordist to an Orthodox Neoliberal regime. In the second chapter, we examine the ongoing development process in Brazil, since the mid-twentieth century, through Latin American debt crisis and the configuration of recent developmental approaches: new and social- developmentalism. In the third chapter, we bring a discussion on the developmental approachesin the juridical-institutionalist sphere, with an emphasis on the analysis of the Law and Development movement and the understanding of the so-called social-liberalism.Finally, in the fourth chapter, we present a critical evaluation of the Brazilian strategy, both from the economic point of view, concluding that financialization is the framework of political- economic decision-making in contemporary Brazil, and in the legal aspect, concluding that decision-making in the country yields to a low-scale democracy, permeated by oligarchic obstacles.
