Beskrivning
With contributions from leading international scholars, this Handbook offers the most rigorous and up-to-date analyses of virtually every aspect of Brazilian politics, including inequality, environmental politics, foreign policy, economic policy making, social policy, and human rights. The Handbook is divided into three major sections: Part 1 focuses on mass behavior, while Part 2 moves to representation, and Part 3 treats political economy and policy. The Handbook proffers five chapters on mass politics, focusing on corruption, participation, gender, race, and religion; three chapters on civil society, assessing social movements, grass-roots participation, and lobbying; seven chapters focusing on money and campaigns, federalism, retrospective voting, partisanship, ideology, the political right, and negative partisanship; five chapters on coalitional presidentialism, participatory institutions, judicial politics, and the political character of the bureaucracy, and eight chapters on inequality, the environment, foreign policy, economic and industrial policy, social programs, and human rights.This Handbook is an essential resource for students, researchers, and all those looking to understand contemporary Brazilian politics.

'The Routledge Handbook of Brazilian Politics is an excellent resource for scholars, students, and policy makers interested in Brazil. It showcases many of the leading scholars who have worked on Brazil in recent decades, and it demonstrates the high quality and innovative character of much of the work on Latin America’s largest country. It brings together Brazilians and others, and senior and younger scholars, in an attractive way.'—Scott Mainwaring, Harvard University 'Singularly comprehensive, well-conceived, and up-to-date, this Handbook addresses crucial theoretical debates while covering a broad array of topics vital to understanding contemporary Brazilian politics. Skillful crafting by editor Barry Ames has rendered the volume remarkably cohesive given the vast empirical scope it encompasses. With contributions from leading scholars of Brazil, the Routledge Handbook of Brazilian Politics is an impressive collection.'—Wendy Hunter, Professor of Government, The University of Texas at Austin
