Title: Contemporary Brazil: Politics, Society and Global Challenges. The trajectory of Brazil since redemocratization in 1985 has been complex and erratic. While the 1988 constitution laid the foundations for a modern, vibrant democracy, it also allowed for the persistence of economic and social inequalities. The purpose of this course is to provide a broad overview of the main issues surrounding Brazilian politics, society, economics, and international insertion since the transition to democracy. This course explores the evolution of democratic political institutions and processes, state-society relations, major social and demographic changes that have impacted the political system during the last three decades, as well as the impact of these changes on the political system and on the international strategies designed and implemented. Restriction(s): Not intended for students with Freshman class standing.
