CASB Logo

The Center for Analysis of Brazilian Society (CASB) aims to deepen the understanding of changes in Brazilian society and to produce analyses—supporting political parties and the government in the task of democratizing society and its institutions, as well as in organizing the popular democratic field.

To this end, it has structured its work to broaden its listening efforts toward specialists and researchers (from academia, social movements, and party foundations), as well as to produce its own research through the Public Opinion, Research, and Studies Center of the FPA (NOPPE).

CASB’s activities and publications express the joint project of the partner Foundations. They encompass diverse opinions from members and guests, which do not necessarily represent the institutional position of the Foundations participating in CASB.
