  • Um Equilíbrio Delicado: A Dinâmica das Coligações do PT em Eleições Municipais (2000 e 2004) Luis Felipe Miguel Carlos Machado Sociología Alliances Workers’ Party Brazilian political camp The article analyzes the alliances established by theWorkers’ Party (PT) in the 2000 and 2004 elections in all Brazilian municipalities. Over the course of Brazil’s current democratic experience, the PT has proven to be the country’s most successful party in establishing a “party name”. For important segments of the electorate, the PT acquired its identity based on its link to the Left and its rejection of corrupt methods in traditional Brazilian politics. Meanwhile, theBrazilian political system offers strong incentives for a strategy of broad and indiscriminate alliances. Through an analysis of alliances in the municipal elections, centered on government-opposition and Left-Right dichotomies, the article shows how the PT dealt with the opportunities created by (and constraints imposed by) its position in the political camp. 2007 artículo científico 0011-5258 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=21850405 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=218 Dados - Revista de Ciências Sociais application/pdf Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro Dados - Revista de Ciências Sociais (Brasil) Num.4 Vol.50
