13023. DEMOCRATIZATION IN BRAZIL. This report examines both the process and the results to date of democratization in Brazil. The first section examines theories of democratic transition, drawing on Samuel P. Huntington's (1991) The Third Wave and considering its application to Brazil. The rest of the report presents a case analysis of democratization in Brazil, looking first at how Brazil made the transformation from an authoritarian to a democratic form of rule, and then examining and evaluating Brazil's progress and success to date with democratization. 14 pages, 34 footnotes, 15 bibliographic sources.
