Brazil After Bolsonaro

Brazil after Bolsonaro captures and presents the voices of a wide range of stakeholders, including academics and journalists in Brazil and abroad, to produce the first systematic engagement with Lula’s upcoming presidency.Providing fair and balanced perspectives on Lula, the authors examine the legacy of Lula’s previous presidency, what has happened in the interim in the eras of Rousseff, Temer and Bolsonaro, and what are the challenges facing a new Lula administration. Divided into three main sections (Background to change; Context and issues; Foreign policy), chapters detail the political, social, and economic dimensions of change in Brazil and its wider repercussions. A fourth section sees Luís Guillermo Solís Rivera, President of Costa Rica from 2014-18, offer reflections on Lula from the perspective of a fellow president.Assuming no prior knowledge and written in an accessible style, this book is ideal for those seeking to further their understanding of contemporary politics in Brazil, and to learn the context and consequences of the transfer of power from Jair Bolsonaro to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
