The Rise of the Radical Right in the Global South is the first
academic study—adopting an interdisciplinary and international
perspective—to offer a comprehensive and groundbreaking framework
for understanding the emergence and consolidation of different
radical-right movements in Global South countries in the
twenty-first century. From deforestation and the anti-vaccine
movement in Bolsonaro’s Brazil to the massacre of religious
minorities in Modi’s India, the rise of the radical right in the
Global South is in the news every day. Not long ago, some of these
countries were globally celebrated as emerging economies that
consolidated vibrant democracies. Nonetheless, they never overcame
structural problems including economic inequality, social violence,
cultural conservatism, and political authoritarianism. Featuring
case studies from Brazil, India, the Philippines, and South Africa,
and more generally from Africa and Latin America, this book
analyses future scenarios and current alternatives to this
political movement to the radical right. It proposes a shift of
focus in examining such a trend, adopting a view from the Global
South; conventional theoretical tools developed around the
experience in Global North countries are not enough. The authors
show that the radical right in the Global South should be analysed
through specific lenses, considering national historical patterns
of political and economic development and instability. They also
warn that researching these countries may differ from contexts
where democratic institutions are more reliable. This does not mean
abandoning a transnational understanding of the radical right;
rather, it calls for the opposite: the chapters examine how the
radical right is invented, adapted, modified, and resisted in
specific regions of the globe. This volume will be of interest to
all those researching the radical right and the politics of
development and the Global South.

At the end of the 1970s, Chinese merchandise moved to Brazil via
Paraguay, forming an on-the-margins-of-the-law trade chain
involving the production, distribution, and consumption of cheap
goods. Economic changes in the twenty-first century, including the
enforcement of intellectual property rights and the growing
importance of emerging economies, have had a dramatic effect on how
this chain works, criminalizing and dismantling a trade system that
had previously functioned in an organized form and stimulated the
circulation of goods, money, and people at transnational levels.
This book analyses how exchange networks that produced,
distributed, and sold cheap manufactured products animated a huge
and vibrant system from China to Brazil, examining the process at
global, national, and local levels. From a global perspective,
intellectual property is a powerful discourse that governs the
world system by framing the notion of piracy as a criminal
activity. But at the national level, how do nation-states resist
and/or endorse, interpret, and apply a global perspective? And what
effect does that have on how ordinary people organize their lives
around this system? Interweaving discourse on transnational traders
and producers, national projects, and international institutions,
Counterfeit Itineraries in the Global South presents low-income
traders not as passive victims of globalization, but as active
actors in the distribution of cheap goods across borders in the
Global South. Based on fifteen years of ethnographic field work in
China and Brazil, Counterfeit Itineraries in the Global South will
be of interest to scholars of economic anthropology, development
studies, political economy, Latin America studies, Chinese studies,
and socio-legal studies.

This book sets out to explore the new role of China in Brazilian
politics and geopolitics. As China has become Brazil's biggest
trade partner, Brazil's political economy has been transformed in
subterranean ways, and China's role in the global economy has
become a hot topic in Brazilian politics. By bringing into light a
new generation of Brazilian scholars, this book seeks to
consolidate the scholarship developed in the last decade and
promote a new approach to Brazil-China relations, written from the
perspective of the global south.
