Unlike most books about contemporary Brazilian politics that focus on promising signs of change, this book seeks to explain remarkable political continuity in the Brazilian political system. It attributes the persistence of traditional politics and the dominance of regionally based, traditional political elites in particular to the manner in which the economic and political strategies of the military, together with the transition to democracy, reinforced the clientelistic, personalistic, and regional basis of state-society relations. The book focuses on the political competition and representation in the state of Minas Gerais Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 286-305) and index Notes English Print version record Subject Elite (Social sciences) -- Brazil Patron and client -- Brazil Authoritarianism -- Brazil POLITICAL SCIENCE -- Political Process -- General.
