Dear lasneteiros, I am embarking on a project (co-authoring) to explain the
apparent paradox of Fernando henrique Cardoso being elected President of
Brasil with the support of the country's principal conservative elites. I
need to gather information on 1) his political career before becoming a
candidate for President (i know he was a senator from the state of Sao Paulo
beginning in 1978 and that he was an ambassador (to the US??) and then
finance minister under Franco); 2) his presidential campaign (how did he
position himself as a centrist candidate?); and 3) his record as president.
Does anyone have any idea on where I can locate this information? Thanks.
