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 latest presidency.
Providing fair and balanced perspectives on Lula, the authors examine the legacy of Lula's previous presidency; what happened in the interim in the eras of Rousseff, Temer, and Bolsonaro; and what are the challenges facing a new Lula administration. This book is divided into three main sections (Background to change, Context and issues, and Foreign policy) and chapters detail the political, social, and economic dimensions of change in Brazil and its wider repercussions. A fourth section sees Lu﨎 Guillermo Sol﨎 Rivera, President of Costa Rica from 2014 to 2018, 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 In當io Lula da Silva.
