Abstract
AbstractIn this chapter we discuss the Odebrecht Organization as a source of resources for the 2014 election campaigns in Brazil. The intent is to analyze the strategy of this business group in view of the national and international political science literature. To analyze this case, we conducted a quantitative research, using descriptive statistics, social network analysis (SNA), and logistic and linear regression analysis. In the first section, we present an overview of the political science literature addressing the decision of private corporations to invest in political campaigns. We then analyze, in the second section, the official donations by the Odebrecht group in the 2014 elections, both to candidates and political parties. The concluding section summarizes our findings and offers some ideas for future investigations.
