Nacionalismo e o neoliberalismo no mundo globalizado: impressões das crises democráticas no Brasil e no mundo

Abstract

Starting from the current scenario, in which ruptures of cooperation paradigms, as well as attacks on institutions, have been commonly observed in several States, it must be inferred that democracy remains fragile on a global scale. In recent years, populist governments with an authoritarian tone have flourished and politicians with nationalist and liberal appeals. These politicians resort to protectionist policies and anti-immigration measures. They also submit to multilateral bodies that reflect the interest of central countries, giving them more strength. This study seeks to understand and relate problems associated with the phenomenon of the resurgence of nationalist policies in a globalized world, in which waves of self-styled conservative leaders maintain a liberal economic agenda, showing a new phase of neoliberalism. The study highlights how these characteristics adopted by governments can be directly linked to liberal crises and how their effects recur in the postmodern world, with strong influences of neoliberalism. The research has as a case study how Brazil fits into this context and how nationalism converses with the actors that make up Brazilian politics.
