This research project investigates the recent rise of affirmative action policies within public, higher education in Brazil in order to explore the institutional and social factors that contributed to the development and successful deployment of these policies. Led by social movements, state actors, advocacy organizations and academics, the Brazilian state has recently adopted affirmative action policies and programs to combat racial inequality. This action represented a rapid policy shift. The meaning of race and the categories for the new policies are currently being created. This research project investigates the dynamics of this political process by analyzing the factors affecting the policy designs and the subsequent programs created to achieve the goal of affirmative action in higher education. The research focuses on a comparative analysis of five selected sites in Brazil. The research plan involves interviews with key stakeholders and coding of selected court and public documents.Affirmative action policies remain an area of active acacademic and public discussion. The consideration of these policies, in a more comparative context, should facilitate a greater level of understanding generally of the factors that shape the development and implementation of public policy in this area.

这一研究项目调查了巴西公共高等教育中最近兴起的平权行动政策，以探索有助于制定和成功实施这些政策的体制和社会因素。在社会运动、国家行动者、倡导组织和学者的领导下，巴西政府最近采取了平权行动政策和计划，以打击种族不平等。这一行动代表着政策的迅速转变。种族的含义和新政策的类别目前正在制定中。本研究项目通过分析影响政策设计和为实现高等教育中的平权行动目标而制定的后续计划的因素，来调查这一政治过程的动态。这项研究的重点是对巴西选定的五个地点进行比较分析。研究计划包括与关键利益攸关方的面谈和对选定的法庭和公共文件进行编码。平权行动政策仍然是学术界和公众积极讨论的一个领域。在更具可比性的背景下审议这些政策，应有助于从总体上更好地了解影响这一领域公共政策制定和执行的因素。
