The title stems from the so-called “Theory of Jabuticaba,” dealt with in Political Science, in which thingsthat only succeed in Brazil, or appear to have had, are like fruit that would not exist else where in the world. The countries selected for sampling were Germany, Austria, Spain, Italy, France and Portugal. The reason is that they appear as success stories on the Europe ancontinent, in turn, the most progressive among the others. The compar is on with the Brazilian structure, which is contrary to the constitutional text it self (Article 8, II) is the object of this research and its conclusion: the confirmation of Jabuticaba Theory. If something only works in Brazil and is not jabuticaba, it needs to be investigated and understood.
