note = {Brazil's economic policy is facing far-reaching changes. The
democratic transition was accompanied by a radical change toward an
economic paradigm that is referred to as neoliberal in the country.
This new paradigm was only partially compatible with the pre-existing
structures.The study shows how specific social and economic path
dependencies impede sustainable paradigm change and enable a
reorientation toward long-term institutionalized patterns. At the
moment, different paradigms are competing within Brazil's
political-economic discourse, and they have become the central topic
of electoral campaigns and party competition. Whether or not a
paradigm that has been successful in the short term may have a lasting
effect on Brazil's economic policy will depend on the extent to which
it harmonizes with the existing socio-economic constellations.},
