Bio:
Professor Bruhn’s research interests include democratization, political parties, and social mobilization.Her latest book, Politics and the Pink Tide (forthcoming with University of Notre Dame Press) examines how economic policies and political party structures affected protest and protest policing in five Latin American countries governed by the Left (Bolivia, Brazil, Chile , Ecuador and Venezuela). She has published extensively on Mexican elections, campaigns, the effects of party primaries, and the Mexican Left. She is currently working on a project about the health of democratic institutions in Mexico, and a second project on populist governments in Latin America.
