I am confident that the book will make a big mark in our understanding of Brazil - and to some degree Latin America as a whole. I am equally confident that it will be one of the rare masterpieces that will stand the test of time. Few political science works are read for two decades; this book is likely to be one of them.'

Unlike most books about contemporary Brazilian politics that focus on promising signs of change, this book seeks to explain remarkable political continuity in the Brazilian political system. It attributes the persistence of traditional politics and the dominance of regionally based, traditional political elites in particular to the manner in which the economic and political strategies of the military, together with the transition to democracy, reinforced the clientelistic, personalistic, and regional basis of state-society relations. The book focuses on the political competition and representation in the state of Minas Gerais.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of tables and figures\u003cbr\u003e Preface\u003cbr\u003e Glossary of abbreviations and Portuguese terms\u003cbr\u003e 1.
