Transitions to Democracy: Unpredictable Elite Negotiation or Predictable Failure to Achieve Class Compromise
Can democratic transitions be predicted? The elite-negotiation literature claims that the process is so complicated and contingent that the timing and process is unpredictable. The class-compromise framework, however, identifies structural conditions that make stabilization unlikely, specifying who will oppose the authoritarian regime and why. A 'triggering' event-a collapse in export demand-also is identified that intensifies and extends opposit…
The Reformation of Machismo: Evangelical Conversion and Gender in Colombia. Elizabeth E. Brusco
Limits on Authoritarian Imposition of Policy: Failed Ecuadoran Military Populism in Comparative Perspective
Does regime type affect policy outcomes? Do authoritarian regimes have greater policy discretion than democratic regimes? The empirical evidence is ambiguous. Using two cases of failed military populism in Ecuador, the author argues that two authoritarian characteristics—lack of participation in decision making and nonmobilization—frustrated implementation of import substitution policies. Ironically, groups expected to benefit most—industrialists…
Samba in the Night: Spiritism in Brazil
An absorbing account of an anthropologist's fieldwork and explorations into alternative religions in Brazil, Samba in the Night invites the reader into the mysterious world of spirit mediums, poltergeists, psychic surgery, exorcism and spiritual healing. The author focuses on spiritism, a vital religious movement with millions of followers. He provides descriptions of rituals and at the same time weaves in a detective story about the complex rela…

Worse Than Men: Gendered Mobilization in an Urban Brazilian Squatter Settlement, 1971-91
Although women's movements have received considerable scholarly attention, the role of women in movements that are not overtly gender based has not. Gender, however, plays a significant role in generic movements (i.e., movements seeking general benefits that are not necessarily restricted to one sex). Over a 20-year period, an urban squatter settlement in Brazil experienced five collective campaigns, not one of which was gender conscious, but all…

Foundations of Class Compromise: A Theoretical Basis for Understanding Diverse Patterns of Regime Outcomes
Since 1945 regions undergoing dependent development have displayed a great diversity of regime outcomes. In contrast, the nations of the capitalist core have experienced relatively stable democratic regimes. In this paper I begin the development of a theoretical framework for comprehending these diverse patterns. I argue that regime outcomes vary across regions of the capitalist world economy because structural economic constraints also vary by r…

Democratic Stability in Venezuela: Elite Consensus or Class Compromise
An elite framework is often used to explain democratic stability in post-1958 Venezuela. I argue that a class-compromise model is more useful, not onlyfor understanding the Venezuelan case but also for explaining the variation in regime outcomes across regions of the capitalist world economy and within the periphery. To contrast the utility of the two models, I analyze Venezuela's political history since 1945. To demonstrate the more general usef…
The Social Origins of Democratic Collapse: The First Portuguese Republic in the Global Economy. Kathleen C. Schwartzman
The Radicalization of the Brazilian Catholic Church in Comparative Perspective
The organizational transformation literature traditionally has focused on the processes by which organizations become politically more conservative. Recent changes in the Brazilian Catholic church, however, provide the opportunity for examining the conditions under which organizational transformation can take a politically radical direction. I argue that the church's radicalization can be understood only by examining the interaction of the organi…
