摘要

在2016年至2020年期间,一群激进的将军成功地策划了巴西军方逐步回归政治中心舞台的行动,其权力自独裁统治以来从未见过。他们在没有正式违反法律、暂停民主进程或推翻政府的情况下实现了这一目标。我们称其为“秘密干预”,一种渐进式的系统性尝试,旨在重新设计政治而不造成破裂,既不符合现有的政变类型学,也不符合有关民主倒退的文献。我们认为,巴西的秘密干预建立在军方现有的保护特权之上,并受到未经改革的禁卫军世界观的驱动,这种世界观在持续的民主危机中重新浮出水面,挑战了武装部队作为被动力量的普遍观点,只有在其机构利益受到威胁时才会干预平民政治。最后,我们表明,巴西的民主倒退始于博尔索纳罗的前任米歇尔·特梅尔(Michel Temer),并指出将军们在这一过程中的作用尚未得到充分研究。

Brazil’s Stealth Military Intervention
Between 2016 and 2020, a group of activist generals successfully plotted the Brazilian military's gradual return to the political center stage with powers unseen since the dictatorship. They achieved this without formally breaking the law, suspending the democratic process or overthrowing the government. We call this a “stealth intervention,” an incremental yet systematic attempt to redesign politics without causing a rupture, that fits neither in the existing typology of coups nor in the literature on democratic backsliding. We argue that Brazil’s stealth intervention, built upon the military’s existing tutelary prerogatives and driven by an unreformed praetorian worldview that resurfaced amidst a sustained crisis of democracy, challenges the prevalent view of the armed forces as a reactive force that intervenes in civilian politics only when its institutional interests are threatened. Finally, we show that democratic backsliding in Brazil started under Bolsonaro’s predecessor, Michel Temer, and point to the generals’ understudied role in this process.
