Portuguese term or phrase: governante
O objetivo do artigo foi analisar como os ciclos políticos influenciam a assistência à saúde dos municípios brasileiros. A teoria dos ciclos políticos estuda, dentro de um sistema político democrático, como as escolhas políticas dos governantes afetam as variáveis econômicas. Seja através de práticas oportunistas em que o poder de decisão dos eleitos relaciona-se com o processo eleitoral visando unicamente à manutenção do poder, seja pelo viés ideológico-partidário, em que as escolhas políticas objetivam atender os anseios dos grupos que representam.
