SCHURSTER, Karl  and  SILVA, Francisco Carlos Teixeira Da. Militares e bolsonarismo: um caso da transição falhada e democracia inacabada. Relac. int. [online]. 2021, vol.30, n.60, pp.167-183. ISSN 2314-2766.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.24215/23142766e130.

This paper seeks to analyze the concept of failed transition and unfinished democracy in Brazil's recent past. Our focus here includes the different ways in which we perceive Brazilian "political opening" or "democratic transition" and how these analyses constructed a "common sense" that the process was a "pact" between the then military regime and representatives of the opposition, constructing the thesis of "conciliation" that does not embrace the other complex elements involved in the transition process. We will support the idea that the risk posed to democracy in Brazil comes from the symbiosis between the most hardened sectors of the Armed Forces, with the adhesion of a significant portion of society, building a brutal political language and action, fruit of our unfinished democracy.

Keywords : Military; Bolsonaro; Democracy; Transition.
