South America List of Political Parties Manifesto Project Dataset: South America List of Political Parties [email protected] Website: https://manifesto-project.wzb.eu/ Version 2019b from December 17, 2019 Manifesto Project Dataset: South America - List of Political Parties Version 2019b 1 Coverage of the Dataset including Party Splits and Merges The Manifesto Data Collection: South America covers parliamentary and presidential elections in South America. The following list documents all the parties, candidates and elections contained in the dataset. The list includes the name of the party or (candidate) alliance in the original language and in English, the party/alliance abbreviation, the name of the presidential candidate (if this applies) as well as the corresponding party identification number. In the case of an alliance, it also documents the member parties it comprises. Within the list of alliance members, parties are represented only by their id and abbreviation if they are also part of the general party list. If the composition of an alliance has changed between elections this change is reported as well. If parliamentary and presidential elections occur at roughly the same time (not necessarily on the same date but within a time frame of one or two months) parties and candidates usually run on the same manifesto. In these cases we report the party/alliance that backed a candidate and the candidate’s name. The same information is provided for presidential elections. If a parliamentary election occurred independently from a presidential election we only report parties and alliances but no candidates. Furthermore, the list records renames of parties and alliances. It shows whether a party has split from another party or a number of parties has merged and indicates the name (and the party id if it exists) of this split or merger parties. 2 Argentina ID Covering Abbrev Parties Candidate No. Elec- tions 150022 2003 FPL + Alliance: Frente por la Lealtad y Unión del Centro Carlos S.

  • EXPLAINING POPULIST PARTY ADAPTATION in LATIN AMERICA Environmental and Organizational Determinants of Party Change in Argentina, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela
    ARTICLE 10.1177/0010414003256112COMPARATIVEBurgess, Levitsky POLITICAL / POPULIST STUDIES PARTY LATIN / October AMERICA 2003 EXPLAINING POPULIST PARTY ADAPTATION IN LATIN AMERICA Environmental and Organizational Determinants of Party Change in Argentina, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela KATRINA BURGESS Syracuse University STEVEN LEVITSKY Harvard University This article uses a two-level framework to explain variation in Latin American populist parties’ responses to the neoliberal challenge of the 1980s and 1990s. First, it examines the incentives for adaptation, focusing on the electoral and economic environments in which parties operated. Sec- ond, it examines parties’organizational capacity to adapt, focusing on leadership renovation and the accountability of office-holding leaders to unions and party authorities. This framework is applied to four cases: the Argentine Justicialista Party (PJ), the Mexican Institutional Revolu- tionary Party (PRI), the Peruvian APRA party, and Venezuelan Democratic Action (AD). In Argentina, the combination of strong incentives and substantial adaptive capacity resulted in radical programmatic change and electoral success. In Mexico, where the PRI had high adaptive capacity but faced somewhat weaker external incentives, programmatic change was slower but nevertheless substantial, and the party survived as a major political force. In Peru, where APRA had some capacity but little incentive to adapt, and in Venezuela, where AD had neither a strong incentive nor the capacity to adapt, populist parties achieved little programmatic change and suf- fered steep electoral decline. Keywords: Argentina; Mexico; Peru; Venezuela; populist parties; party change AUTHORS’NOTE: An earlier draft of this article was delivered at the 2001 meeting of the Latin American Studies Association in Washington, DC, September 6-8, 2001.

    PERMNS AND PADICALISO: ARt ,,A' S TRANSrTIONS lT PESPECIVE Ma-celo Cavarozzi CEDES, Buenos Aires JulY1985 Paper prepared for the meeting on "Political Parties and Redemocratization in the Southern Cone" sponsored by the Latin American Program of The Wilson Center and the World Peace Foundation. Washington, D.C., September 9-12, 1985. A preliminary version was presented in the World Congress of the International Political Science Association (Paris, 15-20 July, 1985) at the Special Session on "Crisis and resurrection of political parties in democratization processes." Do not quote. 1 InrR0DLL'ICN Since 1955, the most visible feature of the Argentine political system has been a higher level of instability. Not only did military coups become more frequent, but the installation of each new regime was irnvariably followed by a repetition of the same cycle: the failure to develop an alternative political foraula, signs of the e gence of political, fragility, and the final collapse. 1bre significantly, beneath the tumultuous surface of political events, the key achanisms of the 1945-55 state were disrmntled without being replaced by alternative arrangements. Those mechanisms had been based upon the partial institutionalization of Perdn's own personal leadership. During those years, Perdn had not only been the head of government, he had also played two other key roles by channeling the political representation of the popular masses through himself and by pronting the subordination of the armed forces to the political institutions. Despite the ultimate failure to create alternative political mechanisms to replace those of the Peronist state, the course of post-1955 events was shaped by the unfolding of the successive projects.

Pinhanez Submitted to the Department of Urban Studies and Planning on May 22, 1997 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of City Planning ABSTRACT During the dictatorship (1964-1985), the authoritarian political system enforced the organization of the labor movement by law in Brazil. The government aimed at keeping control of workers' organization by establishing the monopoly of their representation, centralizing control, and imposing a uniform labor structure. One prevalent argument in the literature is that this corporatist and monopolistic union structure would lead unions to be less democratic and less organized. Contrary to this mainstream thought, I found evidence that in spite of the corporatist and monopolistic regime, rural labor unions differed from each other and represented workers successfully in the state of Maranhio, Brazil, because there has been competition among unions and non-union organizations for the union leadership.

Lapp CSU Sacramento1 “I was wrong… I thought that there was a greater civic spirit but the evidence is that they voted because it was obligatory” -Chilean President Michele Bachelet, December 20172 Introduction During her first term in office, Chilean president Michele Bachelet approved of a law that solved a long-time dilemma: that since the end of the Pinochet regime, voting had remained compulsory, while voter registration was voluntary. While this situation had been universally condemned, a resolution took over twenty years to achieve. Modeling the problem, albeit loosely, as a Prisoner’s Dilemma helps illustrate the difficulty as well as how the stalemate was broken. In brief, changing the system necessitated two steps: changing voter registration and changing compulsory voting.

    Chile | Freedom House https://freedomhouse.org/report/freedom-world/2019/chile A. ELECTORAL PROCESS: 12 / 12 A1. Was the current head of government or other chief national authority elected through free and fair elections? 4 / 4 Presidential elections in Chile are widely regarded as free and fair. The president is elected to a four-year term, and consecutive terms are not permitted. Piñera was elected in December 2017 to serve his second term; he had served as president previously, from 2010 to 2014. A2. Were the current national legislative representatives elected through free and fair elections? 4 / 4 The 2017 legislative polls were the first to take place under new rules that established more proportional districts, and increased the number of seats in both houses. The Chamber of Deputies now has 155 seats, up from 120 previously. The number of Senate seats was increased from 38 to 50, but the new seats will be introduced gradually, with the Senate reaching its new 50-seat capacity in 2022. Senators serve eight-year terms, with half up for election every four years, and members of the Chamber of Deputies are elected to four-year terms. Since 1990, congressional elections have been widely regarded as free and fair. A3. Are the electoral laws and framework fair, and are they implemented impartially by the relevant election management bodies? 4 / 4 Chile’s electoral framework is robust and generally well implemented. B. POLITICAL PLURALISM AND PARTICIPATION: 15 / 16 B1. Do the people have the right to organize in different political parties or other competitive political groupings of their choice, and is the system free of undue obstacles to the rise and fall of these competing parties or groupings? 4 / 4 Chile has a multiparty political system.

  • 2021 Year Ahead
    2021 YEAR AHEAD Claudio Brocado Anthony Brocado January 29, 2021 1 2020 turned out to be quite unusual. What may the year ahead and beyond bring? As the year got started, the consensus was that a strong 2019 for equities would be followed by a positive first half, after which meaningful volatility would kick in due to the US presidential election. In the spirit of our prefer- ence for a contrarian stance, we had expected somewhat the opposite: some profit-taking in the first half of 2020, followed by a rally that would result in a positive balance at year-end. But in the way of the markets – which always tend to catch the largest number of participants off guard – we had what some would argue was one of the strangest years in recent memory. 2 2020 turned out to be a very eventful year. The global virus crisis (GVC) brought about by the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic was something no serious market observer had anticipated as 2020 got started. Volatility had been all but nonexistent early in what we call ‘the new 20s’, which had led us to expect the few remaining volatile asset classes, such as cryptocurrencies, to benefit from the search for more extreme price swings. We had expected volatilities across asset classes to show some convergence. The markets delivered, but not in the direction we had expected. Volatilities surged higher across many assets, with the CBOE volatility index (VIX) reaching some of the highest readings in many years. As it became clear that what was commonly called the novel coronavirus would bring about a pandemic as it spread to the remotest corners of the world at record speeds, the markets feared the worst.

Barr-Melej This dissertation examines the struggle between Chile’s opposition press and the dictatorial regime of Augusto Pinochet Ugarte (1973-1990). It argues that due to Chile’s tradition of a pluralistic press and other factors, and in bids to strengthen the regime’s legitimacy, Pinochet and his top officials periodically demonstrated considerable flexibility in terms of the opposition media’s ability to publish and distribute its products. However, the regime, when sensing that its grip on power was slipping, reverted to repressive measures in its dealings with opposition-media outlets. Meanwhile, opposition journalists challenged the very legitimacy Pinochet sought and further widened the scope of acceptable opposition under difficult circumstances. Ultimately, such resistance contributed to Pinochet’s defeat in the 1988 plebiscite, initiating the return of democracy.

The billionaire businessman and political conservative made the long-anticipated announcement March 21 in a carefully staged, confetti-covered appearance at the Natural History Museum in central Santiago’s Quinta Normal park. The event was closed to the public and the location reportedly kept secret until the last minute as a way to avoid would-be protesters. “I’m convinced that this election represents a crossroads,” Piñera (2010-2014) told a group of approximately 2,000 guests. “One option is to insist on or go farther down the wrong path that the government is on.
