This paper was originally presented at a seminar at the Wilson Center on April 15, 1996, entitled "Political Transition and Government Reform." Luis Carlos Bresser Pereira, the Brazilian Minister of Federal Administration and State Reform, and Thomas Skidmore, Cepedes Professor of History at Brown University, offered their perspectives on the Brazilian political system and reviewed the Cardoso administration's efforts for state reform. The seminar was part of a continuing series of events at the Wilson Center with a focus on Brazil.
