Consequences of Corruption for Political System Support
How do corruption scandals affect mass support for democratic institutions? We leverage the surprise news of Brazil’s historic 2015 corruption scandal, which broke during Latinobarometer data collection, to assess the causal effects of scandals on political system support. From the corruption literature, we derive and test two hypotheses: (1) a conditional hypothesis in which the public rewards democratic institutions for uncovering corruption an…
Education, perceived discrimination, and identity voting
Brazil's electoral arena has long been characterized as devoid of identity politics. Recent analyses, however, have uncovered shifting racial subjectivities and effects of race and gender on electoral preferences. This paper leverages Brazil's 2018 election to reassess conventional wisdom and test whether recent findings derived from racial groups extend to other subordinate social groups in this context, namely women and sexual minorities. I tes…
Public Trust in Latin America's Courts
Despite the integral role of the judiciary to democracy, and the importance of judicial trust for judicial system performance, we know relatively little about the bases of public trust in this institution. How does institutional quality affect judicial trust? We explore this question in the context of Latin America, using a multilevel data set comprising survey data spanning 2001 to 2016 and country-level institutional and economic factors. We fi…
Bolsonaro and the Black Vote
Two competing narratives characterize the role of race in Brazil's 2018 election. Journalists observe that Jair Bolsonaro "entranced" nonwhite voters while "insulting them." Scholars argue that Bolsonaro politicized race, costing him nonwhite support. In contrast, this article argues that racialized patterns of voter behavior were not distinct from those in recent general elections, and that voters' electoral choices varied within as well as betw…
What Happened to the “New Middle Class”? The 2016 Borp (Brazil’s Once-Rising Poor) Survey
This research note provides a detailed account of the development and implementation of a household survey conducted in 2016 as part of a larger investigation into the lifeways and political subjectivities of Brazil’s “once-rising poor,” the demographic sector comprising poor and working-class people who experienced various forms of socioeconomic mobility in the early twenty-first century. After reflecting on the challenges of maintaining a criti…
Tenuous Pacts and Multiparty Coalitions
When and why do legislatures impeach presidents? We analyse six cases of attempted impeachment in Paraguay, Brazil and Peru to argue that intra-coalitional politics is central to impeachment outcomes. Presidents in Latin America often govern with multiparty, ideologically heterogeneous coalitions sustained by tenuous pacts. Coalitions are tested when crises, scandals or mass protests emerge, but presidents can withstand these threats if they tend…
Racial Reclassification and Political Identity Formation
This article leverages a phenomenon of racial reclassification in Brazil to shed new light on the processes of identity politicization. Conventional wisdom tells us that race mixture, fluid racial boundaries, and stigmatized blackness lead Brazilians to change their racial identifications—to reclassify—toward whiteness. But in recent years, Brazilians have demonstrated a newfound tendency to reclassify toward blackness. The author argues that thi…

The Racialized Effects of Social Programs in Brazil
Studies of the electoral effects of cash transfer programs in Latin America have largely treated the poor as a unitary group. This study considers how the effects of social benefits vary across groups among the targeted poor by exploring the consequences of race for the electoral effects of Brazil's Bolsa Família program. A matching analysis of LAPOP survey data shows that race shapes baseline propensities to participate in elections and to suppo…
