Brasil, desarrollo y políticas neoliberales: la adopción de los dictámenes del Consenso de Washington en el ordenamiento jurídico brasileño, en el marco de una economía política dependiente

Abstract

This article set out to approach how Brazil adopted in its legal system, especially in a constitutional level, neoliberal policies (such as privatization and reduction of public spending) that follow Washington Consensus guidelines. Especially, considering the discourse of the right to development, in a hegemonic perspective of this concept, and that the country is located in a context of a dependent political economy. The research was bibliographic and pointed to the need to build an alternative conception of development, once is verified a chasm between the neoliberal discourse of development and economic growth, and its unfolding in political and social reality, which is presented as an increasingly unequal order.
