Neoliberalismo no Brasil: uma análise crítica da interferência estadunidense no governo FHC

Abstract

Imperialism theories gained ardor on the international stage after the theoretical debates that took place during the 1960s-1970s and 1980s – known as the postmodern condition or linguistic turn – with changes in the methods of studying the sciences. In doing so, David Harvey, by developing the concept of accumulation by dispossession, in 2003, with his book "New Imperialism", showed how States and their economic elites were able to materialize neoliberalism of economic thought into the realization of a domestic and foreign policy that could control the Welfare State spending and continue to enrich those private groups that will be presented at work as a transnational class. In an effort to do this, the present work established as a problem the question of whether there was US interference in the formulation of domestic and foreign policies in Brazil during the FHC government under the hypothesis that this interference occurred through the consolidated economic opening in the FHC government, from the introduction of neoliberal proposals that were being disseminated in the International System by the US. Therefore, the objective of this work is to verify this interference and to accomplish this research, the work relies on the qualitative methodology, under the hypothetical-deductive method approach, along with the descriptive-historical, and the techniques of analysis of indirect documentation from primary and secondary sources. Said that, it was possible to notice that the interference in the formulation of Brazilian policies took place through US hegemony by conducting neoliberal proposals as a way of guaranteeing financial support to the Brazilian State. In addition, the interference was not only demonstrated in a state mode, but also as something transnational in that it was conducted by foreign capital that surpasses the limits of state sovereignty.
