Summary/
Abstract
This case is a revised edition and replacement for 'Brazil: Will it Always be the 'Country of the Future'?' (399-041-1). This case is in the series on regime change, and serves as a basis for class discussion on the problems of exit from import-substitution, and reform of the 'developmental state'. It may be compared to the cases on Turkey (397-070-1 and 304-483-1), India (204-181-1) and South Africa (193-020-1 and 204-161-1). The teaching objectives include: (1) political, civic, bureaucratic and constitutional conditions for economic policy; (2) distinguishing between structural aspects of a policy, and economic outcomes; (3) assessing probabilities about future orientation; and (4) country risk assessment.
