Democratic life after the transition: in search of governability in Brazil
from Sarney to Lula's first presidencyBy Remy J. Fontana
Length19h 55m
About this audiobook
Este estudo examina o governo de José Sarney, o primeiro após a ditadura militar, o governo de transição "par excellence". Porém, na fase final da redação, ocorreu a eleição de Lula (2002), um acontecimento político significativo, o que me induziu a acrescentar alguns comentários. Para avaliar as perspectivas de um governo com tal perfil, fiz uma breve incursão sobre os governos anteriores, incluindo os de Fernando Collor de Melo, Itamar Franco e Fernando Henrique Cardoso.
Nesta segunda década do século XXI, embora sob formas e aparências um tanto alteradas, com novos protagonistas ou alguns remanescentes de conjunturas anteriores, os problemas de governabilidade e democracia ainda fazem parte do cenário político e institucional brasileiro.
Trinta e seis anos após a Constituição de 1988, quando a democracia parecia consolidada, tivemos um governo autoritário (Jair Bolsonaro) que procurou ativamente sabotá-la; e um ensaio grotesco, mas não menos grave, de um golpe de estado da extrema direita.
Não surpreende, portanto, que questões que foram cruciais nas décadas de 1980 e 1990 ainda estejam na agenda política e exijam atenção para serem confrontadas e, esperançosamente, descartadas como resíduos podres do nosso passado.
