Human Rights and Corruption in Brazil: Democracy at a Crossroads

/

Lucas Delgado

Lucas Delgado is Judicial Analyst at the Brazilian Council of Justice, Brazil.

This book identifies 2 polarising concepts used by Brazilian sociology to explain the formation of Brazil as a society: corruption and human rights.

The book examines the outcomes of international human rights regimes in Brazil, involving rights and policies related to:

  • the right to food, the fight against hunger, and conditional cash transfer programs;

  • the right to health and the public healthcare system;

  • the right to racial equality and affirmative action in superior education; and

  • the right to recognition and the protection of indigenous populations.

The book sheds light on how democracy evolves or recedes over time under their influence.
