Reviews for Rethinking Party Systems in the Third Wave of Democratization: The Case of Brazil
“This is a first-rate analysis of modern Brazilian politics. . . . As Mainwaring makes clear, both theoretically and through abundant empirical evidence, the incapacity of parties to act collectively is centrally connected to the issues of presidential power, federalism, political corruption, and the progressivity of social power.”—John Carey, Washington University, St. Louis
