| dc.description | In view of the inconclusive statistical results associated with democracyʼs impact on economic performance, this article unpacks the dependent variable (economic development) by examining democratisationʼs impact on education policy. To determine whether democracy compels politicians to provide higher levels of educational opportunity, it traces the process of repression and democratisation in Brazil along with government spending on education. It finds that democratisation has observable effects on education spending on three different levels: 1) the percentage of government spending allocated to education; 2) the distribution of federal funding among different levels of education; and 3) the distribution of funds within primary education among state and local actors. |
