Routledge The Political Economy of Lula's Brazil - Book

Explore the social, political, and economic transformations that shaped Brazil at the start of the 21st century. This volume from the Routledge Frontiers of Political Economy series explains the factors behind the increased global interest in this tropical giant. Readers will learn how Brazil's rise resulted from the adoption of heterodox economic policies. The text also examines the specific obstacles encountered when attempting to choose an egalitarian development path within Latin America. By providing an innovative perspective on methodology and interpretation, this book offers a deep look into the institutional frameworks of the region. Contributors from Brazil, Latin America, and France use a non-dogmatic critical approach to explain the economic landscape. This makes it a valuable resource for anyone studying the development, politics, and economic shifts of the Brazilian nation during a period of significant change.
