The development model followed by the military regime that came to
power in Brazil in 1964 is one of the most controversial among the
less developed countries. The regime's authoritarian structure,
combined with a GNP growth rate that is one of the highest in the
world, raises extremely disturbing yet fundamental questions about
the relation between political authoritarianism and economic
dynamism. In this book, social scientists from three continents
assess the major political and economic characteristics of the
Brazilian model. Because events there have important implications
for other countries, throughout the volume there is a deliberate
search for new conceptual frames of reference to help put the
Brazilian process in a larger comparative perspective. Because of
the important normative issues raised by the Brazilian style of
development, there is also an attempt to be explicit about what
values the regime promotes and what values it denies. Each of the
contributors is a distinguished scholar in his field. They are
Fernando Henrique Cardoso, Alber Fishlow, Juan J. Linz, Samuel
Morley, Philippe C. Schmitter, Thomas E. Skidmore, Gordon W. Smith,
and Alfred Stepan. From their different perspectives, they help us
to understand how political repression and economic boom have gone
hand in hand in this important Latin American country.
