This article examines Brazil's shift from authoritarianism to democracy, focusing on crucial factors and actors involved. It analyzes the role of social movements, institutional changes, and external influences, particularly from the Cold War context. Through a historical
lens, it highlights events like the 1964 Coup D’état and the impact of the Fifth Institutional Act (AI-5) on civil liberties. The study underscores resistance efforts by groups such as the MDB, labor unions, students, and the Movimento Negro Unificado (MNU).
It tracks the gradual erosion of military rule and the socio-economic pressures driving demands for democratization. The article concludes by emphasizing the importance of vigilance against threats like populism and corruption to safeguard Brazil's hard-won democracy.
