Description
Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Constitutional Erosion in Brazil by Emilio Peluso Neder Meyer
This book explores key aspects of the constitutional development and erosion in Brazil since the formation of the 1988 Constitution. It looks at the different phases of the promised transition from military rule to a ‘social-democratic constitutionalism’; the obstacles to democratisation derived from the absence of true institutional reforms in the judicial branch and in the civil-military relationship; and the legal and social practices which maintained a structure that obstructed the emergence of an effective social-democracy.
