She interviewed more than one hundred key figures in government, the military, business, professional associations, the Catholic church, grassroots organizations, and trade unions in order to analyze politically and historically the relationship between civil society and government structures in Brazil during the years 1964–1983. Her study charts the rise and subsequent decline of the military government’s power, concluding with a discussion of the abertura policy instituted under General João Batista Figueiredo UR - https://doi.org/10.7560/775985 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9780292761384 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9780292761384/original ER -
