PANAMA This File Contains Election Results for the 1999, 2004, And PANAMA This file contains election results for the 1999, 2004, and 2009 Panamanian National Assembly. Panama has a complex electoral system with both single-member and multimember electoral districts. In single-member districts, the candidate with the most votes wins election. Panama allows fusion. As a result, candidates may appear and receive votes on more than one party line. This file records the candidate name and votes for each party that nominated them. The votes for the candidate must be totaled to determine the winner. The winner’s name and party affiliation is also recorded in the appropriate columns. In multimember districts, voters must cast a ballot first for a party. Voters may also cast votes for specific candidates. There are as many numbered posts (curules) as members to be elected and parties may run candidates for each post. Again, fusion is permitted and the different parties may nominate some or all of the same candidates as another party. Voters may cast one candidate vote for each numbered post. Seats are allocated first to parties with full Hare quotas and then to parties with one-half of a Hare quota that have not yet received a seat. If any seats remain, they go to the candidates that received the most votes—totaled across parties if nominated by more than one— without further regard to the party votes. In addition to the party votes, the file reports the votes for each candidate in separate columns. The names and party affiliations of the winners are also recorded in the appropriate columns.

  • Opposition Parties and Elite Co-Optation in Electoral Autocracies

Opposition Parties and Elite Co-optation in Electoral Autocracies Berker Kavasoglu∗ Abstract Autocratic incumbents often attempt to co-opt select opposition party leaders to minimize threats to their rule. While the literature identifies co-optation of opposition party leaders as an important survival strategy of autocrats in electoral autocracies, we lack a systematic examination of why some opposition party leaders are co-opted but not others. This article argues that opposition party co-optation is shaped by both inter- and intra-party dynamics. Using a novel data set on opposition party organizations in electoral autocracies between 1970 and 2019, I show that opposition parties with high mobilizational capacity and those that devolve internal decision-making authority from the party leadership to lower cadres are less likely to be co-opted, especially when they are ideological distant from autocratic incumbents.

  • Here Comes the Title of the Paper
    International Journal of Business and Social Science Vol. 3 No. 7; April 2012 Contrast Electoral Campaigns: Its Strategic Implementation in an Economic Crisis Context Dr. Andrés Valdez Zepeda Guadalajara´s University Periferico Norte 799, C.P 45100 Zapopan, Jalisco, México. Abstract The essay makes a conceptual and historical review, in light of the leading theorists of democracy on election campaigns base on contrast, prevalent in most democratic systems in the world. It makes a methodological approach on the strategic linkage of such campaigns in contexts of economic crisis. It analyzes the paradigmatic cases of sustained presidential contrast campaigns in the United States in 2008 and Panama in 2009. We conclude that contrast campaigns are proper stamps in democratic systems in the world, which are articulated in order to gain a competitive advantage for their drivers in contention for the public representative spaces. Key Words: Political campaigns, contrast, democracy, strategic organization, economic crisis, Mexico, United States of America, Barack Obama and Panama. 1. Introduction Political campaigns of contrast have as main purpose the “advantage comparison” between different options presented to voters, giving powerful “reasons” to people as for why one party or candidate is better than the other, publicising aspects as to why they are superior whether in their experience, proposals, results or achievements, and above all, they are clear about advantages or benefits they represent to society when being voted to take a public representation position. The main idea of a contrast campaign is to achieve a clear difference between all alternatives in competition by presenting themselves to voters as the best option among all existing options at the public-electoral offer.

  • The World Factbook
    The World Factbook Central America and Caribbean :: Panama Introduction :: Panama Background: Explored and settled by the Spanish in the 16th century, Panama broke with Spain in 1821 and joined a union of Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela - named the Republic of Gran Colombia. When the latter dissolved in 1830, Panama remained part of Colombia. With US backing, Panama seceded from Colombia in 1903 and promptly signed a treaty with the US allowing for the construction of a canal and US sovereignty over a strip of land on either side of the structure (the Panama Canal Zone). The Panama Canal was built by the US Army Corps of Engineers between 1904 and 1914. In 1977, an agreement was signed for the complete transfer of the Canal from the US to Panama by the end of the century. Certain portions of the Zone and increasing responsibility over the Canal were turned over in the subsequent decades. With US help, dictator Manuel NORIEGA was deposed in 1989. The entire Panama Canal, the area supporting the Canal, and remaining US military bases were transferred to Panama by the end of 1999. In October 2006, Panamanians approved an ambitious plan (estimated to cost $5.3 billion) to expand the Canal. The project, which began in 2007 and could double the Canal's capacity, is expected to be completed in 2015.
