Deciphering the "tropical Trump": analysis of the perceptions of the United States think tanks about the election and the Bolsonaro government
Journal Title: Conjuntura Austral: journal of the Global South - Year 2020, Vol 11, Issue 56
Abstract
Since the electoral campaign, the Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro emulates United States’ President Donald Trump's rhetoric and attitudes while proclaims an alignment with Washington. Before this changing scenario, the present article assesses the perceptions that has been framing the new Brazilian government in Washington, especially within the think tanks devoted to international politics. These civil society organizations, whose ideas aim to influence the public opinion and the public policies cycle, play an important role in propagating narratives about Brazil in different USA social fields like the politics, private sector, media, and academia. Employing content analysis methodology, one argues that, despite the new administration bet on the alignment with the United States and the positive words from the Trump administration, the ideational production of the researched think tanks about Bolsonaro and his political agenda is more negative than positive.
