Brazil’s history of statehood is marked by many vicissitudes. After the end of the second Empire of Brazil, the republic, founded in 1891, was in many respects a weak state, especially in its outlying regions such as south Brazil. Getúlio Vargas with his authoritarian project of the Estado Novo (1937-1945) tried to improve the nation state’s capacity for governance. He succeeded in strengthening the function of the central state, but not permanently. Functional and spatial fluctuations of state governance have likewise characterized the later periods of authoritarian and democratic rule. This subproject investigates two forms of local self-governance in South Brazil pertaining to the functions of socio-cultural and material foundations. It will analyse the complex relationships between national and local state governance on the one hand, and the self-governance of local communities, on the other. The two case studies that are planned are situated in Santa Cruz do Sul (province Rio Grande do Sul) and focus on different areas of governance. The first case study investigates a facility of higher education, which took up earlier activities of German settlers. More precisely, the creation and functioning of the communitarian university UNISC will be analysed, which is run by members of civil society. The aim is to test the assumption that immigrants were an important factor in the creation of a thriving civil society. In the course of the ensuing developments, the different relations of limination within this immigrant communities had changed and were constituted anew. Analogous transformations are investigated in the second case study with a view to the generation of social capital in the economic sphere. The object of investigation will be the local credit cooperative Sicredi Vale do Rio Pardo in Santa Cruz do Sul, which is one of the first credit unions for farming credits in Brazil. Today, Sicredi is a model of participation, transparency and innovation for cooperatives in Brazil, not only due to its survival during the military dictatorship. From this perspective, a comparison with the collective narratives of the university UNISC as well as its strategies and contents of legitimation is of interest as well. Furthermore, local transformations and their limination effects will be analysed in a historical perspective, including path dependencies. An important aspect of both case studies will be to take into account what type of regime was exercising state rule. In the case of a regime change, it will be examined to what extent the relationship between local self-governance and state order was modified.

巴西建国的历史充满了沧桑。在巴西第二帝国结束后，这个建立于1891年的共和国在许多方面都是一个弱国，尤其是在巴西南部等偏远地区。Getúlio巴尔加斯和他的新国家（Estado Novo, 1937-1945）的威权主义计划试图提高民族国家的治理能力。他成功地加强了中央政府的职能，但不是永久性的。国家治理的功能和空间波动同样是专制统治和民主统治后期的特点。该子项目调查了巴西南部两种形式的地方自治，涉及社会文化和物质基础的功能。它将分析国家和地方国家治理之间的复杂关系，以及地方社区的自治，另一方面。计划中的两个案例研究位于南圣克鲁斯（南大省），并侧重于不同的治理领域。第一个案例研究调查了一个高等教育设施，该设施采用了德国定居者早期的活动。更确切地说，将分析由民间社会成员管理的社区主义大学UNISC的创建和运作。其目的是检验移民是创造繁荣的公民社会的重要因素这一假设。在随后的发展过程中，这些移民社区内不同的消除关系发生了变化，并重新建立起来。在第二个案例研究中，研究了类似的转变，以期在经济领域产生社会资本。调查对象将是南圣克鲁斯的当地信用合作社Sicredi Vale do里约热内卢Pardo，该合作社是巴西首批农业信贷合作社之一。如今，Sicredi已成为巴西合作社参与、透明和创新的典范，这不仅是因为它在军事独裁统治时期存活了下来。从这个角度来看，与大学UNISC的集体叙事及其合法化的策略和内容进行比较也是有意义的。此外，将从历史的角度分析局部变换及其消除效果，包括路径依赖关系。这两个案例研究的一个重要方面将是考虑到何种类型的政权在行使国家统治。在政权更迭的情况下，我们将考察地方自治与国家秩序之间的关系在多大程度上得到了改变。
