Description

Chaffee (government, Saint Mary's College) uses a theoretical approach to investigate the connection between politics and economics in Brazil. He offers statistics and detailed case studies of the country's regimes in support of his hypothesis that economic growth in Brazil leads to changes that support the governmental regime. Topics include the country's perpetually high inflation, the New Republic's strategy of growth based on import substitution, Jose Sarney's efforts to restructure politics with a new constitution, and the Real Plan.
