Brazil beyond Lula: Forging Ahead or Pausing for Breath?

Morais, Lecio; Saad Filho, Alfredo

Abstract

A review of the achievements of the Lula administration and an examination of the contrasting political and social programs that disputed the Brazilian presidential elections in October 2010 reveal that there has been significant progress toward the consolidation of a social democratic welfare state in Brazil and that further progress is possible but far from guaranteed under the new administration.
