DEITOS, Roberto Antonio. O liberalismo social-democrata e a reforma do Estado Brasileiro (1995-2002). Perspectiva [online]. 2012, vol.30, n.01, pp.199-229. ISSN 0102-5473.

This article analyzes social-democratic liberalism and the reform of the Brazilian State conducted from 1995-2002 in propositions presented in the arguments of a faction that led the political process and the Brazilian State apparatus based on a victorious coalition in 1994, which was composed through actions conducted by the Brazilian Social Democratic Party (PSDB). The faction was comprised by the national bourgeois pact and expressed in the political leadership of the intellectual Fernando Henrique Cardoso (FHC), who was elected president of the republic in 1994. To address these issues, the article analyzes the most general aspects of the reform of the Brazilian state, to understand how a certain liberal version emerged and how its political and ideological arguments were consummated and came together, based on a certain faction of the dominant classes, the political and economic leadership of the national bourgeois pact. This leadership was strengthened in 1995 with the initiation of the FHC administrations and its efforts to reform the Brazilian State, culminating in the approval in 1995 of the Master Plan for the Reform of the State Apparatus.
