Brazil: Reversal of Fortune

Once deemed a â€œdysfunctionalâ€ democracy with a â€œfecklessâ€ set of political institutions and a â€œdrunkâ€ economy, todayâ€™s Brazil has undergone a complete reversal of fortune. Now in its third decade of democracy, the economy is blossoming and large-scale development projects are underway, including the exploitation of massive, off-shore oil reserves, a nationwide effort to modernize infrastructure, and preparations for the hosting of the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics. Inequality and poverty are reducing and even Brazilâ€™s political institutions are more governable and are producing a higher-quality democracy than most observers once thought possible.

Alfred P. Monteroâ€™s timely and wide-ranging book explores Brazilâ€™s amazing â€œturnaroundâ€ - from improvements to the working of its political institutions and judiciary, to the renewal of economic growth, the advent of innovative social policy, and the emergence of a new foreign policy agenda. Unpacking both overly optimistic as well as pessimistic views of Brazilian politics and development, Montero offers illuminating insights into the countryâ€™s transformation and its increasing significance on the international stage.
