Synopsis

This is the third edited volume from these two scholars on the evolution of political institutions in Brazil. It follows Democratic Brazil: Actors, Institutions, and Processes (2000) and Democratic Brazil Revisited (2008). As they demonstrate, Brazil's democratic institutions are changing rapidly. This volume is all new and updates the topic in important ways, including the Petrobras scandal and the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff in August, 2016.

About this title

Review:

This is a timely volume that will attract a broad audience from many disciplines especially given the current political and economic crisis in Brazil. The first two volumes in this series (Democratic Brazil and Democratic Brazil Revisited) quickly became standard sources for many scholars in a variety of fields, and I am confident this one will as well. --Marshall Eakin, Vanderbilt University
