Abstract

Mirroring the heated debates over the choice of exchange rate regimes among economistsand policymaking elites in Latin America over the last decade, a growing discussion hasevolved in academic circles with respect to identifying the underlying political drivingforces of such policy choices. Conventional wisdom holds that these political pressuresthat determine exchange rate policymaking are both general and specific insofar as policydecisions affect both macroeconomic aggregates and the economic welfare of particulargroups within society. Moreover, as an economy undergoes reforms leading to greateropenness on both capital and current account, therefore turning the exchange rate into anincreasingly prominent variable with significant distributional implications through itsimpact on monetary policy and on relative prices, this political conflict around exchangerate policy decisions is expected to intensify (see e.g. Frieden 1994).This paper intends to evaluate and substantiate this hypothesis of exchange ratepoliticisation by tracing the effects of 'abertura' (opening) in the 1990s on the politicalprominence and framing of exchange rate issues in Brazil. Using empirical evidencecollected in media analyses, opinion surveys and interviews with representatives ofgovernment, labour as well as business organisations, the paper intends to dissect themodalities and drivers behind exchange rate policy's greater political prominence and toinvestigate the evolution of the public understanding of this issue area and, in particular,organised interests' political positioning during this process. This paper argues thatinternationalisation had the expected effect in terms of turning exchange rate policy into arelatively more conflictual area of policymaking but it posits that institutional and cognitivefactors fundamentally determined the intensity and the actual patterns of conflict thatemerged around this policy variable. In particular, this paper examines the role oforganisations representing business and labour in identifying and pursuing the exchangerate policy interests of their members. Against this background, the paper concludes bycalling for a more differentiated use of the term 'politicisation' in the exchange rate politicsliterature, which more accurately depicts the manner in which new actors join politicaldebates around issues like exchange rate policy and thus acknowledges the crucial role ofrepresentative associations in this process as well as their effects on exchange ratepolicymaking more generally. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
