Democracy and Brazil: Collapse and Regression discusses the de-democratization process underway in contemporary Brazil. The relative political stability that characterized domestic politics in the 2000s ended with the sudden emergence of a series of massive protests in 2013, followed by the controversial impeachment of Dilma Rousseff in 2016 and the election of Jair Bolsonaro in 2018. In this new, more conservative period in Brazilian politics, a series of institutional reforms deepened the distance between citizens and representatives. Brazil's current political crisis cannot be understood without reference to the continual growth of right-wing and ultra-right discourse, on the one hand, and to the neoliberal ideology that pervades the minds of large parts of the Brazilian elite, on the other. Twenty experts on Brazil across different fields discuss the ongoing political turmoil in the light of distinct problems: geopolitics, gender, religion, media, indigenous populations, right-wing strategies, and new forms of coup, among others. Updated analyses enriched with historical perspective help to illuminate the intricate issues that will determine the country's fate in years to come. Democracy and Brazil: Collapse and Regression will interest students and scholars of Brazilian Politics and History, Latin America, and the broader field of democracy studies.

Forgé par Gabriel Naudé, au temps baroque d'une raison d'État triomphante, le concept de « coup d'État » peut-il s'appliquer à des âges antérieurs, en particulier à celui de la genèse médiévale de l'État moderne ? C'est à cette question d'histoire rétrospective qu'ont tenté de répondre les auteurs de cet ouvrage. Leurs réponses, qui dessinent un vaste panorama occidental et comparatiste - de l'Angleterre à la péninsule italienne et de la péninsule Ibérique à la Suède - tendent à démontrer que, bien avant de devenir un concept, le coup d'État a d'abord été une pratique généralisée. Car, quelle que soit la nature du régime politique en vigueur ici ou là, que le coup d'État vienne du dedans ou du dehors, qu'il soit perpétré par ceux qui ont le pouvoir ou par ceux qui le contestent et projettent de s'en emparer, il ramène aux fondements même d'une construction étatique en quête d'assurance et de réassurance. En d'autres termes, le coup d'État est comme une pratique constituante.
