Abstract or Description

This paper details Brazil’s “Industrial Health Complex” and efforts to provide access to essential medicines through a conceptualization of the neo-development state. Compared to previous ideas of development states, the neo-development state emphasizes new forms of state intervention in the economy, strong social rights protections, and participatory politics.
