Labels: countable, uncountable Example: As chief of Interventor Cordeiro de Farias' personal military staff. Peracchi had been active in the local implementation of the Estado Novo's Brazilianization campaign, in which excesses had occurred against Germans and Italians. Example: Given this context of religious pluralism, the main theme and purpose of this chapter is to discuss the process of Brazilianization caused by the increasingly significant presence of Brazilian immigrants and their evangelical churches in the New Your Metropolitan Area (Rodrigues 2010). 2. Social change characterized by classism, economic disparity, and a large underclass that suffers from unemployment and underemployment. Labels: countable, uncountable Example: What is going on in my opinion is the "Brazilianization of India". You have high levels of inequality, a spectacular film and culture industry, the proliferation of television, and for the first time in the history of India, you have the legitimization of inequality among the elite. Example: Neo-liberal globalization has created a great disruption of previously stable employment patterns, (re)introducing temporary, insecure, and "informal" employment in the North and even social marginality in the great cities.

Labels: countable, uncountable Example: The whole effort is at present directed to nothing more than the prevention of the Brazilianisation of the Germans in Brazil.

Example: The President-elect's very strong sense of nationalism and his all-pervading idea of Brazilianisation alone would insist that any political system established in Brazil must conform to Brazilian realities. 2. Alternative spelling of Brazilianization. Labels: countable, uncountable Example: In Chapter 5 the narrative and analysis shift to the global South, that part of the globe once known as the Third World. This is the main site of "informalisation' (or Brazilianisation) whereby 'non-standard' forms of employment become prevalent. Example: National governments can try to resist Brazilianisation by regulating their labour markets and closing their borders, but the most likely end result in today's global conditions is economic stagnation or even decline.
