Corporatism was one of the most influential authoritarian representation models from the first half of the 20th century. It grew both in Europe and other parts of the world, e.g., Brazil, where several intellectuals developed theories ingrained by the idea of the corporate state as a form of political and social organization. Amidst these intellectuals, Plínio Salgado and Miguel Reale stand out as leaders of the Brazilian Integralist Action (AIB)–a fascist-leaning movement created in 1932 based on the ideals of nationalism, anti-liberalism, and anti-communism whose central objective was to establish the Integral State, guided by its nationalist-corporate content. This work employs a Comparative Historical Analysis–which enables the investigation of singular trajectories as a way of understanding world history phenomena–to analyze how the trajectories of Salgado and Reale influenced their theories on corporatism, given they found common ground over various doctrinal aspects of the integralist movement but also had intellectual peculiarities and divergences.
