Building Democracy in Brazil is an empirical analysis of the constitution-making process that Brazil underwent in the 1980s as it moved from an authoritarian military regime to a democratic civilian government. The study explores the institutional and political context from which the process departed as well as the choices of the key social and political actors. It then examines in depth the different stages of the constitutional elaboration.
