in Revista Brasileira de Política internacional , vol.52 - No.1/2009 , 2009 , pp. 71-88 | ||
This paper analyzes how the State acceptance of international norms may influence the implementation of redistributive policies, based on a case study of policies against racial discrimination in Brazil, from 1995 to 2005. It argues that the preparation of and the follow-up to the Durban Conference would have increased the political feasibility of affirmative action policies in Brazil. | ||
