Partisans, Antipartisans, and Nonpartisans

Voting Behavior in Brazil

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Observers believe few Brazilian voters identify with a political party and, instead, base their choices only on candidates' personal qualities. The authors show that this conventional wisdom is wrong. Many Brazilians have developed a strong affinity for or against a party - which plays an underappreciated role in explaining voter behavior.
