1 PM, Tuesday, 21 January 2025, room 3.59 at the ground floor of the Andersonian Library
Please join us for an event led by Prof. Marcio Cunha Filho, a Visiting Professor at Strathclyde Law School, during which he will present his research into the contemporary political economy of Brazil. Part of this research was published last year in his , Direito, m铆dia e distor莽玫es da realidade.
Brazil has always been seen as the 鈥渃ountry of the future鈥�, but over the past decade, it has experienced economic stagnation, been embroiled in corruption scandals, faced attempted coups, and witnessed the rise of the far right. What political and economic factors are responsible for this decline? The event will discuss aspects of the country鈥檚 political and economic context.
Marcio Cunha Filho is a full professor at the Institute of Public Law in Bras铆lia (Brazil), member of the directive board of the Brazilian Association of Sociology of Law, leader of the Research group 鈥淟aw and Behavioral Science鈥� and a federal auditor at the Office of the Comptroller General, in Brazil.
