Publisher's 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.
