Description: "Uses survey data from 1974, 1978, and 1982 elections. Analyzes voting and public opinion during the transition. Argues that voting studies need to be more open to national differences: Brazilian voters are less driven by ideology than by plebiscitarian appeals and patronage-based machines"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
