Contentious Politics in Brazil and China ─ Beyond Regime

With a focus on state-society relations, Green and Luehrmann compare Brazil and China, two fast-emerging countries in the global arena. This book goes beyond region and regime, and provides a side by side comparison of these two countries by exploring the many challenges much of the world faces today—economic, gender, and racial inequalities; migrations and urbanization; climate change; political systems; and international relations. Extremely current, this book discusses how the foreign policy of these two countries affects state-society relations back home.
