Elon Musk: A New Antagonist in Brazilian Politics?

Treading the Diplomatic Tightrope: Lula’s Approach to the Israel-Palestine Conflict

During his presidential terms, Lula consistently advocated for the two-state solution, supporting the creation of an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel. He also vehemently criticized Israeli settlements in Palestinian territories, viewing them as a hindrance to peace.

Lula emphasized the importance of multilateralism and international diplomacy in the quest for a peaceful and equitable resolution to the conflict. The article explores how this approach reflects Lula's pursuit of autonomy and sovereignty in Brazilian foreign policy, while also highlighting challenges and criticisms faced during his diplomatic journey.

Is Bolsonaro an example of a radical right-wing populist?

Radical Right-Wing Populism (RWP) is a phenomenon that has been introduced previously in Latin America. In periods of economic crisis, the fight against inflation was another hallmark of right-wing populist appeals. Nevertheless, nativism, the core feature of RRP, was largely missing in earlier cases of RWP in Latin America.

Right Wing Populism in Latin America

Looking at Latin America, the criterion to define populism needs to be revised.

This is not to say that nativism has to be dropped as a definitional criterion for the Latin American far-right. There are notable ideological overlaps with the European and North American New Right, for example, concerning immigration, which is a controversial issue in South America. There are also offenses against ethnic and cultural minorities, and nationalist rhetoric is pervasive.
