Chapter Chapter 3 in Social Policy Dismantling and De-democratization in Brazil, 2023, pp 63-84 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter analyzes the deconstruction of labor rights in Brazil. Our hypothesis is that the labor reforms operated since 2017, under the governments of Michel Temer and Jair Bolsonaro, act mainly as a direct attack on the democratic pillars of corporatism. Following this hypothesis, the chapter develops the following points: in the field of historical reflection, it investigates the relevance of corporatism and its meaning for labor rights and the existence of Welfare States in Brazil. The second, at the level of political theory, requires a foundation of how reformist changes can be considered anti-corporatist and to what extent they attack the public and collective sense of labor contracting in the country.
