of Brazil.
Number of pages:
8
ABSTRACT:
(8 pp) In her 1997 book, Eroding Military
Influence in Brazil: Politicians Against Soldiers,
Wendy Hunter examines the situation under the
auspices of the "rational choice model." Because
she claims that politicians are primarily
interested in their own political survival, the
rational choice model is an excellent measuring
device for the shift towards democracy within the
political structure of Brazil. Bibliography lists
one source.
