الديمقراطية على حبل مشدود

Politics and Bureaucracy in Brazil Democracy on the Brink explores the complex relationship between politics and bureaucracy in Brazil's democratic development since the 1988 Constitution. Drawing on academic research and direct government experience, Pedro Abramovay and Gabriela Lota examine how technocracy, meritocracy, and institutional power can support or undermine democratic governance. Through vivid case studies—from drug policy to the Internet Bill of Rights—the book reveals how balancing political legitimacy and bureaucratic expertise is essential to building an inclusive, participatory democracy that resists the slide toward authoritarianism.
