Routledge Business-State Relations in Brazil Port Reform Book

Explore the complex dynamics of Brazilian economic policy with Business-State Relations in Brazil: Challenges of the Port Reform Lobby. Part of the Routledge Studies in Latin American Politics series, this book examines the long-term effects of liberalizing economic reforms initiated in the 1990s. While international attention often focuses on Brazil's logistics infrastructure during major events like the World Cup or Olympics, this text looks deeper into the underlying issues. It analyzes how past reforms exposed gaps in investment across ports, roads, railways, and airports. Readers will gain insight into the ongoing challenges regarding competitiveness and the influence of lobbying within the port reform sector. This work provides a necessary perspective on the historical and modern economic conditions shaping Brazil's logistics landscape.
