| Title | Economic Overview of Bolsonaro's Authoritarian Neoliberalist Development Strategy in Brazil |
| Summary | The popularity of authoritarian governments is rapidly growing. Following the Global Financial Crisis in 2008, a new phase of neoliberalism called "authoritarian neoliberalism" arose, characterized by economic development and increased government involvement in repression and social exclusion. This idea, in particular, highlights how contemporary capitalism encourages and depends on practices that strive to marginalize and restrict nonconformist. Authoritarian neoliberalism is usually promoted by populist and ring-wing leaders. Among the rising populist leaders worldwide is President Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil. The winning of Bolsonaro as the president of Brazil in late 2018 shows a new era of developmentalism in the country. Bolsonaro carries out a pro-development and pro-destruction policy agenda which seek to capitalize the country’s natural resources at the cost of deforestation and human rights violations. The aim of this research is to highlight the economic features and impact of authoritarian neoliberalism. This research found that, based on the case of Brazil under Bolsonaro’s presidency throughout 2019 to 2021, Authoritarian neoliberal development strategy provides economic accelerating policies. With its pro-market orientation, Bolsonaro promotes privatization and policies that are sound to businesses to flourish, such as easing tax system. |
