In Ecuador, where social movements had a strong mobilizational capacity, post-neoliberal governments deployed encompassing capital controls, while their right-wing successor had to follow a gradualist approach in their liberalizing agenda. (5/6)

[Pedro Perfeito Da Silva @dasilvapp]

In El Salvador, given the weakness of the bottom-up pressure, post-neoliberal administrations pursued a targeted approach, while the neoliberal successor could implement a radical agenda that even included the adoption of #bitcoin as legal tender alongside the US dollar. (6/6)

[Pedro Perfeito Da Silva @dasilvapp]

In both countries, administrations led by post-neoliberal left-wing parties tightened capital flow management, while their right-wing successors gave a new impulse to capital mobility. However, these regulatory cycles varied according to the strength of popular pressures. (4/6)

[Pedro Perfeito Da Silva @dasilvapp]

To illustrate this argument, I compare Ecuador and El Salvador, two Latin American countries that embraced official dollarization as part of their neoliberal adjustments in the late 1990s and early 2000s. (3/6)

[Pedro Perfeito Da Silva @dasilvapp]

Bringing the Polanyian double movement into the analysis of international financial subordination, I argue that party ideology and popular mobilization still contribute to policy variegation in capital flow management even at the bottom of the global currency hierarchy. (2/6)

Last week I presented a paper, learned about new IPE research, and even went on a hike on a sunny (!) Edinburgh (led by our amazing host @JuliaEHCalvert) at the annual @bisa_ipeg workshop. Looking forward to the next IPEG events!

@willgomes Em alguns estados alemães, por exemplo, a justiça classifica a AfD como extremista. Isso justifica o monitoramento do partido enquanto ameaça à democracia. Isso não significa que os eleitores da AfD não são legítimos, mas afeta a forma pela qual as instituições encaram a AfD.

[Pedro Perfeito Da Silva @dasilvapp]

@willgomes Os eleitores e seus votos são legítimos. Mas o Bolsonarismo é uma força política legítima? Em uma democracia liberal, um percentual X de votos é condição suficiente para tornar legítima qualquer força política?

[Pedro Perfeito Da Silva @dasilvapp]

@willgomes Só para deixar claro: concordo que ficar enojado não resolve o problema, mas acho que o salto argumentativo de normal/frequente para normal/legítimo precisa ser melhor explicado.

[Pedro Perfeito Da Silva @dasilvapp]

@willgomes Para ilustrar (de forma hiperbólica) meu ponto: seria ingênuo ignorar o peso político das milícias na política de alguns municípios brasileiros. Deveríamos, portanto, normalizar as milícias para melhor combatê-las?

Strongly recommended for political economists! Besides the pluralistic environment, the postdoc at @LeedsUniBSchool gave me the proper conditions to navigate the difficult transition between a PhD and a permanent position.

[Annina Kaltenbrunner @anninak82]

Leeds post-doctoral fellowships are out! A great opportunity to develop your research with a LUBS academic and a pluralist economic environment!
