The central focus of this article is to analyze the relationship between development policies and democracy in Brazil, taking the governments of Fernando Henrique Cardoso and Luiz Inácio da Silva as a historical basis in the period running from 1995 to 2010, which underwent both the implementation of the managerial public policy model during the first government term and the societal model, during the second. The article seeks to respond to the following research problem: did the different development policies experienced by Brazil under the FHC and Lula governments bear any relation to Brazilians' support for democracy? The methodology applied is quantitative, in the form of a survey, based on an analysis of research results from the Latinobarómetro database, as well as the indicators of GDP, Gini, and HDI. The results obtained reveal that development and democracy policies bear a certain connection as the GDP and HDI increase while the Gini declines, with a rise in support and satisfaction with democracy in the country.

The objective in this article is to analyze some aspects of the Brazilian agrarian question and to demonstrate it is still current and an important problem to be solved. It examines the historical events that prevented a more democratic agrarian and social formation in the country and how this problem was deliberately maintained by the elite of the country with the impediment of the accomplishment of the agrarian reform. Next, we analyze current elements that indicate the permanence of the agrarian question, especially the conflicts, violence and the policy of rural settlements. These analyzes support the substantiation of the central objective of the article. As a conclusion, we indicate that Brazil can still seize the opportunity for development that the solution of the agrarian question represents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
