"The impeachment process is a clear political maneuver by old and new opposition groups. They are using Dilma Rousseff (who has not done a good job managing the economy, for sure) as a scapegoat for a political system that has deep-rooted problems; corruption being just one of them."鈥擬anuel Balan
Professor Balan is interested in Latin American Politics, Corruption and Development, Political Competition, Politics of the Media and Scandals, Transparency and Anti-Corruption Policies, and Political parties and political Systems among other things.
