| Summary/Abstract |
Brazil is in a funk. The past year has brought violent protests, a new wave of corruption scandals, and wariness about the country's economic future. Former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was known for his cheerful, tireless repetition of the message that "never before in the history of this country" had Brazil
accomplished so much. The contrast with his handpicked successor, Dilma Rousseff, was epitomized at the final match of the Confederations Cup, a major soccer tournament in June 2013, when Rousseff visibly stiffened as the crowd loudly booed her.

| Summary/Abstract |
The parliamentary elections of May 2014 saw an electoral rout of the ruling coalition (United Progressive Alliance or UPA) and especially that of the main partner “Congress” (Indian National Congress or INC). The party that ruled India for most of its post-Independence period was decimated while the party that had little electoral presence at the time of Independence now has an absolute majority. The Modi-led-BJP made “governance” a key issue that played a major role in their victory. With an absolute majority in the parliament, the BJP has an unprecedented opportunity to fulfill the mandate and improve the quality of governance. Will they? What would it take to improve governance in a country like India? The goal of this paper is to try and answer this question.
