Overview
Field of knowledge: Political science
Principal investigator: George Avelino Filho
Unit/Instituition: Centro de Economia e Política do Setor Público - Cepesp - FGV
The Center for Economics and Politics of the Public Sector - CEPESP at the Getulio Vargas Foundation - FGV is searching for candidates for a postdoctoral position to investigate the determinants of the choice of legislators career and legislative performance at the subnational level in Brazil. This search is attached to a thematic research project entitled "Political Institutions and Public Expenditure: An Assessment of the Brazilian States" funded by the Sao Paulo Research Agency, FAPESP.
This investigation explores the causes and patterns of professionalization and institutionalization in the Brazilian subnation legislative arena and their impact on the choice of political career and legislative performance. To what extent is legislative professionalization driven by legislators - career goals and ambition or vice versa? Do reelection oriented legislators have more incentives to increase the internal complexity of the legislative body? Legislative professionalization is an essential part of democratic consolidation since it creates conditions of institutionalizing a system of rewarding politicians' work. Professionalized legislatures create career stability, policy expertise, and legislative independence from Executive. All of these can promote a stable and representative legislature that is active in policy development and capable of countering executive power. This proposal will investigate the relationship between professionalization and choice of career and legislative performance, focusing on the period that covers the first election after the redemocratization (1986) to the next legislative election in 2010.
Responsibility
The successful candidate is expected to participate in all aspects of this investigation under the supervision of Professors Carlos Pereira Carlos Pereira (carlos.pereira@fgv.br) and George Avelino (george.avelino@fgv.br). Specific task will include writing reports, preparing datasets, attending workshops/conferences, and assisting with the preparation of manuscripts publications. The FAPESP post-doc fellowship runs for 12 consecutive months with a monthly payment of R$ 4.508,10 Reais (free of tax) and, eventually, can be renewed for more 12 months.
