Semipresidencialismo como sistema de governo no Brasil: o semipresidencialismo português como alternativa ao presidencialismo brasileiro pós-Constituição de 1988

Abstract

Brazilian presidentialism has proven incapable of ensuring political stability, having been marked by several crises and coups d'état throughout its history. In this context, semi-presidentialism emerged among political and intellectual sectors as an alternative. In view of this, this study, based on qualitative, descriptive and exploratory research on the content of scientific articles, books, theses, dissertations, among others, analyzed the semi-presidentialism adopted in Portugal and the presidentialism adopted in Brazil, identified the problems of the national system and assessed whether or not the Portuguese system is capable of solving them. At the end of the study, it was possible to conclude that Portuguese semi-presidentialism, if applied in Brazil, would solve most of the problems identified. However, it was found that the model must undergo adaptations in order to be properly adopted in the country and that, in some points, there is room for improvement, if the system is in fact considered by political sectors as an alternative to the current Brazilian model
