Details

'Rule of law' is not a simple concept when it comes to defining the political, economic, and legal developments of a country like Brazil which is a young democracy, struggling with longstanding extractive institutions and entrenched interests. In this book, Juliano Zaiden Benvindo offers a broad perspective of the functioning, evolution and dynamics of the 'Rule of Law' in Brazil from different perspectives. In the context of a rising crisis of liberal principles and 'democratic decay' in global constitutionalism, the book explores how Brazilian democracy has dealt with the authoritarian mindset which still plays a big role in the fate of the country, and whether the democratic achievements and institutional framework that have strengthened over the years are sufficiently capable of defending the 'rule of law' as an imperative for Brazil's development, especially in times when the country seems mostly in need of them.
