Revolução constitucionalista de 32: principais motivações da Frente Única Paulista

This paper aims to analyze the Constitutionalist Movement in 1932, trying to understand, more specifically, the political end sought by the Front Unique Paulista, on a literal translation, union of the political parties of São Paulo (Republican Party Paulista and Democratic Party). The research is motivated by the need to understand the political project of FUP with the movement and the existing motivations why it was articulated. The comprehension of the constitutionalists' reasons is relevant to understanding the history of the revolution, from its origin to its outcome. Based on literature and its historical analysis, the paper will demonstrate that the Front, with the advent of the Constitutionalist Revolution of 1932, had as its main purpose regain political control of the state of São Paulo lost with the revolution of 1930. More than the vaunted concern with the implementation of a new constitution for the nation, the FUP leaders had intended to retrieve the lost power with the movement of 30 and the rise of Getulio Vargas to power. Under a banner to fight for a new constitution and the expected change from a totalitarian and centralized state imposed by Vargas for a more autonomous state, the cause of São Paulo enticed sympathy and support from the community, whose social history always harbored separatist ideas, even that they have never been carried out to its ultimate consequences

Campaign contributions to congressional candidates by the healthcare sector from 1990 to 2008

Stakeholder groups with special interests as donors to finance congressional campaigns have been a controversial issue in the United Sates. While previous studies concentrated on whether a connection existed between the campaign contributions provided by stakeholder groups and the voting behavior of congressional members, there is little evidence to show the trend of allocation of their campaign contributions to their favorite candidates during the elections. This issue has become increasingly important in the health sector since the health care reform bill was passed in early 2010.^ This study examined the long-term trend of campaign contributions offered by various top healthcare stakeholder groups to particular political parties (i.e. Democrat and Republican). The main focus of this paper was to observe and describe the financial donations provided by these healthcare stakeholder groups in the congressional election cycles from 1990 to 2008 in order to obtain an overview of their patterns of campaign contributions. Their contributing behaviors were characterized based on the campaign finance data collected by the Center for Responsive Politics (CRP). Specifically, I answered the questions: (1) to which political party did specific healthcare stakeholder groups give money and (2) what was the pattern of their campaign contributions from 1990 to 2008?^ The findings of my study revealed that the healthcare stakeholder groups had different political party preferences and partisanship orientations regarding the Democratic or Republican Party. These differences were obvious throughout the election cycles from 1990 to 2008 and their distinct patterns of financial contribution were evident across industries in the health sector as well. Among all the healthcare stakeholder groups in this study, physicians were the top contributors in the congressional election. The pharmaceutical industry was the only group where the majority of contribution funds were allocated to Republicans in every election period studied. This study found that no interest group has succeeded in electing the preferred congressional candidate by giving the majority of its financial support to the winning party in every election. Chiropractors, hospitals/nursing homes, and health services/HMOs performed better than other healthcare stakeholder groups by supporting the electoral winner 8 out of 9 election cycles.^

Domingos Leite Pereira: intervenção política e acção governativa durante a Primeira República

Este trabalho tem como objecto de estudo a intervenção política e a acção governativa de Domingos Leite Pereira (1882-1956) durante a Primeira República. Nesse sentido, pretendemos estudar a sua actividade parlamentar, partidária e governativa, apontando as suas principais linhas de força, incindindo, especialmente, no quadro de grande instabilidade política, social e económica que caracterizaram o regime republicano português após a I Guerra Mundial. Por outro lado, este trabalho procura estudar a luta pelo controlo e liderança do Partido Republicano Português, no mesmo período de tempo, incindindo, com mais pormenor, na dissidência partidária que Domingos Pereira lidera entre 1920 e 1921.

A revolução de 14 de Maio de 1915: justificações e dinâmicas

Este trabalho pretende dar uma visão historiográfica aprofundada sobre um dos acontecimentos mais dramáticos ocorridos durante a vigência da I Republica Portuguesa: A Revolução de 14 de Maio de 1915. Este movimento foi o mais violento durante os dezasseis anos em que durou a I República. Segundo a imprensa contemporânea, liquidou-se em duzentos mortos e mil feridos. As consequências directas da revolução ditaram o fim do Governo do general Pimenta de Castro (foi a primeira tentativa, antes do golpe Sidonista em 1917, de inverter o domínio do Partido Republicano Português sobre as instituições governamentais). Ao longo deste trabalho, abordamos as origens do movimento revolucionário de 14 de Maio de 1915, dedicando especial atenção ao impacto do Governo do general Pimenta de Castro, apontando as suas principais linhas de força, que promoveu a organização e a execução do movimento durante a madrugada do dia 14 de Maio de 1915. Aborda-se também os factos ocorridos ao longo desse dia e nos dias seguintes em Lisboa, na Margem Sul, no Porto e na Província. Por último, expomos as principais consequências que o movimento teve.
