A autonomia sob a perspectiva de hélio jaguaribe: uma adaptação para o estudo dos dois primeiros governos de Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (2003 - 2010)

Abstract

This work carried out an adaptation of Hélio Jaguaribe's autonomy theory to study the first two administrations of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (2003-2010) in Brazil. Jaguaribe established three prerequisites for a peripheral country to become autonomous: national viability, international permissibility, and technical-business autonomy. The Lula governments, in turn, pursued an active foreign policy emphasizing national sovereignty. Due to this stance, some Brazilian academics labeled this period as "autonomist." Thus, this study examined whether the first two Lula administrations fulfilled Jaguaribe's three requirements for overcoming dependence. The conclusion reached was that the policies implemented during this period brought significant changes to the country but did not enable Brazil to achieve full autonomy, leaving important gaps in terms of national viability and technical-business autonomy.
