摘要

在许多学者和专家看来，巴西选举出了像雅伊尔-博尔索纳罗这样的极右民粹主义者，显示出民主崩溃的风险。然而，与悲观的预期相反，巴西不仅民主得以延续，政治也恢复如常。是什么原因导致了这一所谓的意外结果？本文对这一难题进行了分析评估，并提出了另一种解释。我们认为，对巴西体制的诊断和预测都是错误的。我们探讨了最高法院、政党制度、媒体和国会政治在限制博尔索纳罗的非自由主义举措方面所发挥的作用。

Why Didn’t Brazilian Democracy Die?

Brazil, for many scholars and pundits, showcased the risk of democratic breakdown with the election of a far-right populist like Jair Bolsonaro. Against pessimistic expectations, however, not only has Brazilian democracy survived but politics has returned to business as usual. What can explain this supposedly unanticipated outcome? This article provides an analytical assessment of this this puzzle and offers an alternative explanation. We argue that both the diagnoses of Brazilian institutions and the predictions made were misguided. We explore the role played by the Supreme Court, party system, media, and congressional politics in restricting Bolsonaro’s illiberal initiatives.
