Conventional wisdom suggests that partisanship has little impact on
voter behavior in Brazil; what matters most is pork-barreling,
incumbent performance, and candidates' charisma. This book shows
that soon after redemocratization in the 1980s, over half of
Brazilian voters expressed either a strong affinity or antipathy
for or against a particular political party. In particular, that
the contours of positive and negative partisanship in Brazil have
mainly been shaped by how people feel about one party - the
Workers' Party (PT). Voter behavior in Brazil has largely been
structured around sentiment for or against this one party, and not
any of Brazil's many others. The authors show how the PT managed to
successfully cultivate widespread partisanship in a difficult
environment, and also explain the emergence of anti-PT attitudes.
They then reveal how positive and negative partisanship shape
voters' attitudes about politics and policy, and how they shape
their choices in the ballot booth.
