"Reverse Transitional Justice: Countercurrents of Transition and Their Reflections on Brazil's Democratization."
Transitional Justice; Democracy; State Policies; Democratization
This research proposes an analysis of the trajectory of transitional justice in Brazil, exploring its intersection with the national landscape. The motivation for this study arises from a critical reflection on the development of transitional justice in the country and its influence on the current political context. The core of the investigation lies in the fundamental question: is there a reversal in the implementation of constitutional transition policies in the realms of memory and reparations, and is this reversal intrinsically related to the current stage of democratization in Brazil? The project seeks to understand in detail the impacts of these dynamics on the democratic evolution of the country, examining how changes in approaches to memory and reparations can influence the consolidation of the democratization process. This research aims to contribute to the critical understanding of the trajectory of transitional justice in Brazil, providing relevant insights for contemporary debates on the strengthening of democratic institutions.
