Brazil Institute: Why is Rousseff ahead in the polls when most voters say
they want change? The outlook of the October elections in Brazil
President Dilma Rousseff seems well positioned to be reelected in October as Brazil embarks on
the seventh consecutive presidential election campaign since the reinstatement of democracy
three decades ago. Polls indicating she is the favorite among the three likely major candidates
come, however, with an important caveat: two thirds of the voters say they feel anxious about
the future and want change. Media reports suggest that former president Luiz Incio Lula da
Silva, a highly astute politician and Rousseffs mentor, worries about the possibility of popular
governor of Pernambuco Eduardo Campos, a former ally of the Workers Party-led coalition,
emerging as the challenger in a second round. A number of factors could indeed alter the
electoral outlook in the months ahead. Among those are the economic trends on growth,
employment and inflation, expected protests around the time of the World Cup, to be played in
twelve Brazilian cities from mid-June to mid-July, and the shape of regional electoral alliances.
New factors could weigh heavily in a close second round. One much speculated about is the
potential candidacy to the Federal Senate of justice Joaquim Barbosa, in Campos Socialist Party
ticket. The first black member of Brazils Supreme Court, Barbosa gained exposure and became
widely popular as the presiding judge of the recently concluded Mensalo trial of political
corruption.
On Monday March 17th, the Brazil Institute will host the first of a series of seminars on this
years elections. Journalist Jos Roberto de Toledo, an expert on public opinion at daily Estado
de S.Paulo, will lead the discussion. Speakers include political science researcher Fernando
Guarnieri, of the Center for Metropolitan Studies at the University of So Paulos Comparative
and International Studies Research Center, currently a visiting scholar at the Department of
Government and Politics at the University of Maryland; Oscar Vilhena Vieira, dean of Fundao
Getulio Vargas Law School in So Paulo, and Paulo Sotero, director of the Wilson Center Brazil
Institute, who will also serve as moderator.

"Este livro pretende recontar a histria de mulheres operrias
da Companhia Valena Industrial CVI, uma das mais antigas
fbricas de tecelagem do pas ainda em funcionamento. Por
meio da narrativa e da histria oral, o autor discute o cotidiano
dessas operrias, que viveram a sua insero no mercado
formal de trabalho nos anos 1960 a 1970. Fruto de um trabalho
de pesquisa do Programa de Mestrado em Memria, Cultura e
Desenvolvimento Regional da Uneb, a obra traz tona a dura
rotina da fbrica, as greves, a importncia da famlia proletria, as festas e religiosidades,
manifestaes e embates polticos da poca e como estas mulheres se tornaram referncia para
uma gerao de luta. Assim, os dados aprofundados que Mrcio Vieira traz aqui vo de
encontro ao que se pode chamar de histria tradicional, pois se trata de resgatar a histria de
pessoas comuns, e a importncia da vida destas mulheres est justamente na lio que podem
dar s novas geraes sobre a busca por reconhecimento no espao de trabalho e fora dele."
