ROUNDTABLE
The 2018 Elections in Brazil: The Future of Democracy after Bolsonaro
Following a very polarized election, Jair Bolsonaro, far-right candidate and former Army captain, was elected as Brazil’s next president. What are the implications of his victory for the country? Who are his supporters? What will be the role of the military in his presidency? Brazil also elected a new Congress. What does it look like and how will it shape his presidency? Furthermore, what are the implications of his election for other countries in the region? This event will discuss these questions by bringing together faculty members and graduate students who study Brazil and Latin America.
