Abstract

There have been two key initiatives taken in the last two decades in Brazil to create a counter-hegemonic project for the country. One initiative resulted from Brazil's business community and high-level State bureaucracy and aimed at forming a regional economic and political bloc that would guarantee and enlarge a relative independence from the hegemonic powers. The other resulted from the emergence of the new unionist movement in São Paulo and from the formation of Partido dos Trabalhadores and aimed at promoting radical democratization and reducing social exclusion. Both initiatives have created policies and changes that have converged to enhance Brazil's counter-hegemonic position as a regional and emerging power.Duas iniciativas importantes ocorridas nas duas últimas décadas produziram a contra-hegemonia brasileira. Uma resulta da ação da comunidade de negócios e da alta burocracia nacional e busca a formação de um bloco regional de caráter político e econômico. A outra resulta do surgimento do Partido dos Trabalhadores e visa promover a democratização radical e a redução da exclusão social. Ambas produziram políticas e mudanças que convergem para criar uma emergente contra-hegemonia regional brasileira.
