This study addresses the collective mandates elected by PSOL in 2020, which aim to decentralize and depersonalize the legislator’s role by promoting collective representation within a structure that traditionally centralizes power in a single individual. It seeks to analyze how these mandates managed internal party conflicts and how this interaction affected both the organization of parliamentary offices and the electoral strategies for future campaigns. Through a comparative case study approach, the study focuses on the challenges and opportunities inherent in transforming political representation through collective action. The main hypothesis suggests that collective mandates serve more to develop political leaders competing within the party than to bring about true organizational change in the legislative branch.

This research project aims to understand the formation and actions of Brazil’s Evangelical Parliamentary Front (FPE) from 2003 to 2022.
Given the significant demographic growth of Protestant and Evangelical segments in Brazilian society since the 1980s, the study aims to examine the positions and roles these representatives hold within the spaces and structures of power in Brazilian society.
It focuses on the origins and resources mobilized in the religious and political trajectories of legislators who are or have been part of the FPE, exploring how their religious affiliations and corresponding material and symbolic assets are reinterpreted and politicized through different forms of associativism and engagement in the national political arena.

This research proposal aims to examine the conditions that enabled corruption to emerge and circulate as a public issue, involving a range of organizations, actors, and their respective conflicts and struggles. First, the analysis focuses on the role of non-state agencies dedicated to control and transparency, with particular attention to international agencies and actors, NGOs, transnational movements, and the expansion of transnational law. Second, it explores how the fight against corruption has taken on a technical dimension, centered on specialized solutions and measures, becoming a key area of national institutional policy through the development of targeted public policies. Finally, it seeks to describe and analyze cases of initiatives, organizations, associations, and political leaders who intensively leverage the fight against corruption.
