Making Brazil Work: Checking the President in a Multiparty System

by Carlos Pereira, Marcus André Melo, C. Pereira

Book Overview

This book offers the first conceptually rigorous analysis of the political and institutional underpinnings of Brazil's recent rise. Using Brazil as a case study in multiparty presidentialism, the authors argue that Brazil's success stems from the combination of a constitutionally strong president and a robust system of checks and balances.
