{"title":"Businessmen Support Amidst the Turmoil: The Second Year of Bolsonaro’s Presidency in Brazil","authors":"Carolina Moehlecke","doi":"10.4067/s0718-090x2021005000120","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4067/s0718-090x2021005000120","url":null,"abstract":"The second year of Jair Bolsonaro's presidency in Brazil has been marked by multiple sources of pressure on the government. The COVID-19 pandemic has taken its toll on Brazilian lives, on the national health system and on the country's already sluggish economy. Hitting close to home, Bolsonaro has witnessed the beginning of several investigations against his also politician sons and increasing pledges for moderation from Centrao, the informal and yet powerful centrist coalition that has historically shaped Brazilian politics. Moreover, criticism from external markets and foreign powers regarding Brazil's mishandling of environmental policies has been constant, while Bolsonaro's campaign promises of economic liberalization remained largely unfulfilled. Quite puzzling though, domestic businessmen approval of the president increased over the year, as I show through the analyses of survey data. What explains this group's persistent support for Bolsonaro? This article reviews some of the main political events in Brazil in 2020 and it uses in-sights from International Political Economy and Brazilian politics scholarships to advance hypotheses that can explain why those who self-identify as businessmen remain steadfast supporters of the president, even amidst the economic, social, and sanitary turmoil in the country.","PeriodicalId":279932,"journal":{"name":"Revista de ciencia política (Santiago)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125514196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previously lauded as a world leader in environmental conservation and avoided deforestation initiatives, Guyana recently made international headlines when significant oil discoveries were made in its territorial waters. Using a model of convergence, stasis and reverberation, this article positions these developments historically and politically. In it, I argue that Guyana’s shifting fortunes are reflective of broader regional and international shifts and contestations around post-colonial development and climate policy. The article shows how different forms of vulnerability coalesced over time to position Guyana as both vulnerable and as agential. The state’s vulnerability lies in its susceptibility to natural disasters through climate change, imperialism in the wake of colonialism, and ethnic strife through race-based politics. Its agency, on the other hand, lies in its deployment of its natural resources and its geographic location to negotiate changing geo-political arrangements and efforts to address climate change. In developing this argument, the article views, and positions Guyana as a microcosm of several pressing and overlapping global crises – a metaphorical eye of the storm.","PeriodicalId":279932,"journal":{"name":"Revista de ciencia política (Santiago)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132837222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
