Abstract

Since the seizure of power by the Brazilian military in 1964, the course of events has moved towards the institutionalization of a permanent authoritarian regime. Deliberately, the Brazilian military rulers have pursued policies that have deprived public men and citizens of their autonomy, have narrowed the field of politically permissible solutions, and have eliminated all consequences of the system other than their own perpetuation in power. In doing so, they have revived a model of political development that seemed historically discredited. Portugal, having previously demonstrated the feasibility (and costs) of this type of response to pressures from a process of modernization and development, has provided what might be called the "archetype" of this typical system of authoritarian political domination. Hence the concept of "Portugueseization" applied to the process through which said regime is institutionalized.
