Interdisciplinary Symposium on the Brazilian Political System & XI Parliament's Research and Extension Journey

IMPA, Rio de Janeiro July 05 – 09, 2021 – Turned into an online event

From July 5 to 9, 2021, IMPA, Economics and Politics Research Group (EPRG), University of Brasilia (UnB) and the Parliament hold the “Interdisciplinary Symposium on the Brazilian Political System & XI Parliament’s Research and Extension Journey”.

It is an event in the virtual format, which unites the tradition and recognition in research of institutions such as IMPA and UnB with the consolidated space for discussion on the Brazilian parliament provided by the Research and Extension Days organized annually by the Graduate Program of the Chamber of Deputies.

The meeting will discuss the “Brazilian Political System”, including the electoral rules, the creation, financing and control of parties, candidacies, etc. The objective is to encourage debate about the virtues and problems of this system, as well as to analyze the need and convenience of changes and improvements.

The event should count on the participation of economists, political scientists, lawyers and other interested researchers. It will be held exclusively through virtual meetings (Zoom or Google Meet). We will have invited presentations, debates or panels with a group of researchers or authorities, and regular sessions, for the presentation of submitted articles.

We invite interested parties to submit articles for presentation at the event, observing the following criteria:

1. Articles can be submitted in the following ways:
a) complete article, up to 5,000 words (not counting the title, abstracts and references);
b) research papers, with a minimum of 5 pages.

2. In any case, it is suggested to use the model available in Template.

3. We request that there is no identification of the authors in the submitted .PDF.

4. Each author may submit up to 2 articles as the first author, and may appear as a co-author in other submitted articles.

5. Authors must indicate, at the time of submission, whether they wish the article to be considered for possible publication in a special section of the E-Legis Magazine, of the Graduate Program of the Parliament. The Scientific Committee will select the best works, whose authors will be invited to submit a review to E-Legis, according to the journal’s standards.
