Reform and Political Crisis in Brazil: Class Conflicts in Workers' Party Governm

Description: Reform and Political Crisis in Brazil by Armando Boito This book examines the Brazilian political process in the period of 2003-2020: the governments led by the Workers Party and their reformist policies, the deep political crisis that led to the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff and the rise of Bolsonaro neofascism. The author maintains that the Party and ideological conflicts present in the Brazilian politics are linked to the class distributive conflicts present in the Brazilian society. Defeated for the fourth consecutive time in the presidential election, the political parties representing the international capital and segments of the bourgeoisie and of the middle class, abandoned the rules of the democratic game to end the Workers Party government cycle. They paved the way for the rise of neofascism. FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Armando Boito is Professor at the State University of Campinas, Brazil.
