Resumo: | This article resumes the debate on the welfare state in Brazil to verify how the state and the capitalism developed in the country, were part of the social reform effort that emerged worldwide after the Second World War. The structural character of the welfare state may be considered as a social policy of the mode of production at a particular time of its development, when economic, social, and political crises were enhanced and required reformist and transformative responses. The study focused on national and international literature and examined documents related to social security, assistance, and the context of 1940s and 1950s Brazil. The analysis uses the literature discussing the Brazilian welfare state, its different versions and the data of that period to examine if the changes within the current state and social relations of production can be considered radical opposition to the welfare state model. The results show that in Brazil, the bases for the welfare state model were effectively developed in a format that reflected the local conditions. However, the research found that the unity of the causes that led to social reforms lacks political dimension nowadays, without which the economic dimension, exclusively, is not able to promote solidarity and social policies in their progressive concept. |

Partimos del presupuesto del carácter estructural del welfare state, integrante del modo de producción en dado momento de su desarrollo, cuando las crisis económica, social y política, como una unidad, se potencian y exigen respuestas reformistas y transformistas. Trabajamos con la literatura clásica sobre el tema, nacional e internacional. Además, consultamos documentos relativos a la seguridad social, a la asistencia y al contexto de los años 1940-1950 en Brasil. Regresamos a la literatura que debate el welfare state en Brasil, con autores con diferentes visiones y los datos del período para verificar cuánto es posible afirmar que los cambios en el ámbito del Estado y de las relaciones sociales de producción en curso constituyen, en realidad, una contraposición radical al modelo creado por el welfare state. Los resultados muestran que, en Brasil, se han desarrollado efectivamente las bases constitutivas de ese modelo cuyo formato reflejó nuestras condiciones locales. Concluimos que la unidad de causas que han llevado a las reformas sociales en aquel momento carece hoy de su dimensión política, sin la cual la dimensión económica, exclusivamente, no es capaz de llevar a la reforma en su concepto progresista.O objetivo deste artigo é retomar o debate sobre o estado de bem-estar social no Brasil para verificar em que medida o capitalismo brasileiro e seu Estado integraram o esforço de reforma social, que em plano mundial se realizou após a Segunda Guerra. Consideramos o caráter estrutural do welfare state: uma política social integrante do modo de produção em dado momento de seu desenvolvimento, quando as crises econômica, social e política, como uma unidade, se potencializam e exigem respostas reformistas e transformistas. Trabalhamos com a literatura clássica sobre o assunto, nacional e internacional. Além disso, consultamos documentos relativos à previdência, à assistência e ao contexto dos anos 1940-1950 no Brasil. Retornamos à literatura que debate o welfare state entre nós, com versões distintas e os dados do período, a fim de examinar quanto é possível afirmar que as mudanças no âmbito do Estado e das relações sociais de produção ora em curso são, na verdade, uma contraposição radical ao modelo criado pelo welfare state. Os resultados mostram que, no Brasil, se desenvolveram efetivamente as bases constitutivas desse modelo cujo formato refletiu nossas condições locais. Mas a unidade das causas que levaram às reformas sociais naquele momento carece hoje da sua dimensão política, sem a qual a dimensão econômica, exclusivamente, não é capaz de levar ao resgate da solidariedade e a políticas sociais universalistas.Escola Brasileira de Administração Pública e de Empresas da Fundação Getulio Vargas2021-08-12info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/8336110.1590/1679-395120200033Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 19 No. 3 (2021); 395-407Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 19 Núm. 3 (2021); 395-407Cadernos EBAPE.BR; v. 19 n. 3 (2021); 395-4071679-3951reponame:Cadernos EBAPE.BRinstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporenghttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/83361/79124https://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/83361/79125Gurgel, ClaudioJusten, Agathainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2021-08-12T22:44:06Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/83361Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebapehttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/oaicadernosebape@fgv.br||cadernosebape@fgv.br1679-39511679-3951opendoar:2024-05-13T10:00:21.205363Cadernos EBAPE.BR - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true |
