By Cornelia Baciu

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich Politik - Region: Mittel- und S damerika, Note: 1,3, Universit t Konstanz (Fachbereich Politik und- Verwaltungswissenschhaft), Veranstaltung: Politische Systeme und ffentliche Politik in Lateinamerika im Vergleich, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: I would like in this Hausarbeit to demonstrate, with a background from Arend Lijphart s arguments, stated in the book "Patterns of Democracy. Government Forms and Performance in Thirty-Six Countries", if Brazil it is or not a consensualist democracy. Arend Lijphart considers that each system of government can receive one of the next attributes: majoritarian or consensualist. He gives ten opposite criteria, on two dimensions, on which can extend the two types of democracy (majoriatrian and consensualist). I intend to make a logical digest, searching each of this criterion on Brazil s case. At the end, after considering all ten criteria, I will be able to say if Federative Republic of Brazil it s a consensualist democracy or not.
