What Is The Populist Approach To Brazil

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how Brazil, a country with an extremely high rate of inflation and low growth, positioned itself as the 7th largest economy of the world and what are the challenges that the country is facing. First of all the Real Plan of Fernando Henrique Cardoso and how it helped the country to stabilize its economy and drop down the inflation rate will be discussed. Secondly how his successor’s policies, Luis Inácio Lula da Silva, improved country’s economy. At the end the challenges that Dilma Vana Rousseff, the current president, is facing

Brazil is a country that has a wonderful and enriching long history. It is accidentally discovered by the Portuguese in a route to the India. Pedro Álvares Cabral and his troop are the first European set foot on this mystical land in 1500. The indigenous along the shore was the first troop the Portuguese met. The arrival of Portuguese has deeply affect the economic and social environment of Brazil. Portuguese then evaded Brazil by sending Jesuits and later the Royal family doughing from the France and staying in Brazil until they returned to Portuguese in the early 1800s. During the period of Portuguese reign and after King Pedro I declared the independence of Brazil in 1822, the country has mainly gone through three major economy stages: sugar,

Portuguese is the official language of Brazil, and is spoken by over 99 percent of the country’s population. However, due to immigration, some of the less common languages are Spanish, German, Italian, Japanese, English, and a large number of Amerindian languages.

Felling abused, discontent, and suffering from rash syncretism, the well-established Sepoys of the powerful British East India Company had a lot of motive to rebel against the greedy “empire on which the sun never sets.” It was fitting timing in which, the character and policies of their colonial rule caught up to the storied regime in a sweep of unwavering rebellion. For years, the British conquered the country bit by bit implicating their values stemming from their new feelings of superiority. The Mughal Empire was sent through years of change in policy. British views towards world order created many economic and cultural frictions among these empires in Hindustan. The hostile Indian Rebellion of 1857 was a product of the unpredictable greed and feelings of superiority of the British and led to rash changes in the way empires were operated economically and religiously.

In 1976, General Jorge Rafael Videla came to power and was a merciless ruler having thousands killed by the hands of the military. When Carlos Menem became president, he forgave the military of their many crimes and national debt steadily increased. Further, the gap between the rich and poor still had not went away. Brazil, too, allowed the military to control which eventually led to economic growths. However, in 1989, a civilian government came into power. Under the new rule, Brazil’s debt was being paid on and the gap between the rich and poor continually

Brazil is one of the fastest emerging economies in the world. Brazil forms part of the BRIC group along with Russia, India, and China. From the 1500’s to the 1930’s, the Brazilian economy relied heavily on the production of primary products for exports. The economy was heavily curbed for three centuries when Portugal implemented an imperial mercantile policy. Brazil gained its independence in 1822. However, Portugal’s influence had a lasting impact for many years to come. Changes started to occur in the late nineteenth century when slavery was abolished and wage labor was adopted. Brazil has a democratic form of government. The center left Worker’s Party has governed Brazil since 2003. The Brazilian economy is composed mainly of the services related industries which contribute to sixty seven percent of the Brazilian GDP and employs seventy percent of Brazil’s one hundred million strong labor force. The industrial and agricultural sector of Brazil together contribute to thirty three percent of the GDP and employ twenty nine percent of the Brazilian employed.

Many countries have tried to govern the world and all have failed. Prior to World War II it was stated justly, “The sun never set on the British Empire.” For decades this statement held true: the British touched all corners of the sphere (Pierce, 2009). To be precise historians have discovered that only twenty-two countries were left untouched which meant one hundred seventy-six countries were at one point under Britain’s power. India was amongst the countries that Britain invaded and colonized. This transpired when the Nawab of Bengal and the French lost the Battle of Plassey in 1756 to Britain. For the next one hundred ninety years India would be under the control of the British.

India holds a prominent place in the history of imperialism and decolonization, making recent events in this country of nearly one billion especially important to the current day citizen. India also faces problems associated with accommodating religion and diversity within a large federal republic, making their experience important for Americans concerned with these issues. India faces growing action of governing which invites the use of violence to achieve political objectives. In spite of India's size and importance, it is hard for an American to gain an understanding of the issues and conflicts which have set the stage for the most recent revival of Hindu nationalism. The

Some of the major conflicts of the twentieth century have been the Indian-Pakistan War, Vietnam War, Korean War, Russian Civil War, Civil War in China, Gulf War etc. The India-Pakistan war happened because the Muslims thought that it was unfair that the Hindus were put in power of government and they thought that the Hindus would not treat them equally. It was also because each of them thought that their religion was better than the other they were also afraid of competition between religion. It was therefore split into East Pakistan and West Pakistan.

As World War II (1939-1945) began, Indian independence continued to gain momentum. Placing pressure on an increasingly depleted government (both in economic and human resources), Britain entered into negotiations with India. In 1947, Britain partitioned India, creating the modern states of Pakistan and India and sparking a new wave of colonial independence throughout the commonwealth. Britain’s empire had begun to set.

The primary question that Brazil faces as it moves into the 21st century is whether the Brazilian style of capitalism, which harnessed their economy towards growth as a developing economy, is sufficient to drive them as a developed country. Averaging 3.8% GDP growth over the last decade, this transition seems inevitable; Brazil has shifted from an agricultural giant to a country in which 90% of the population works in the industrial and service sectors. However, as they make this conversion, they must examine their economic policies to ensure that they are still applicable and advantageous. For example, Brazil must keep promoting their industrial policies. Brazil may fall back into a commodity-driven economy if raw

Starting form the 1800s, British helped to get rid of many old cruel laws existing. However, there were still political issues that the British and the India didn’t agree on about that caused many conflicts. The most significant impact by British on India’s politics was showed by the adoption and the change of the government structure.

Besides all the improvement and development of India in different fields, major conflicts in India occur due to the misunderstanding with the surrounding countries and forbidding the

Also, the country’s well-structured democratic setup has aided it to further its position within the arena of developing nations. Although the prevalence of this democratic setup stunts the scope of uninhibited regional development, it is an important tool to maintain India’s rapport with the West, namely the European Union and America. Events such as the Indo-U.S. nuclear deal and the launch of the Chandrayaan space programme are a testament to India’s importance in the contemporary world. Even though problems like a large population, disease and hunger still plague India, it is still recognized as a dominant authority when it comes to world politics and influence.

India has been troubled by sectarian violence for decades, reflecting a constant conflict between its federal system and ethnic and regional aspirations. Ethnic unrest and rebel violence have been major Indian security concerns since the Chinese-aided Naga
