Conaghan, Catherine; Cyr, Jennifer; Gómez-Campos, Steffan; Lemus, Jonatán; Luna, Juan Pablo; Ortega, Bibiana; Pérez Bentancur, Verónica; Piñeiro Rodríguez, Rafael; Rosenblatt, Fernando; Sánchez-Sibony, Omar; Sarmiento, Viviana; Toro Maureira, Sergio; Vergara, Alberto; Vommaro, Gabriel; Wills-Otero, Laura; Luna, Juan Pablo; Piñeiro Rodríguez, Rafael; Rosenblatt, Fernando; Vommaro, Gabriel
    Many contemporary party organizations are failing to fulfill their representational role in contemporary democracies. While political scientists tend to rely on a minimalist definition of political parties (groups of candidates that compete in elections), this volume argues that this misses how parties can differ not only in degree but also in kind. With a new typology of political parties, the authors provide a new analytical tool to address the role of political parties in democratic functioning and political representation. The empirical chapters apply the conceptual framework to analyze seventeen parties across Latin America. The authors are established scholars expert in comparative politics and in the cases included in the volume. The book sets an agenda for future research on parties and representation, and it will appeal to those concerned with the challenges of consolidating stable and programmatic party systems in developing democracies.

    Much Ado About Facebook? Evidence from 80 Congressional Campaigns in Chile
    (ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2021) Luna, Juan Pablo; Perez, Cristian; Toro, Sergio; Rosenblatt, Fernando; Poblete, Barbara; Valenzuela, Sebastián; Cruz, Andres; Bro, Naim; Alcatruz, Daniel; Escobar, Andrea
    How do political candidates combine social media campaign tools with on-the-ground political campaigns to pursue segmented electoral strategies? We argue that online campaigns can reproduce and reinforce segmented electoral appeals. Furthermore, our study suggests that electoral segmentation remains a broader phenomenon that includes social media as but one of many instruments by which to appeal to voters. To test our argument, we analyze the case of the 2017 legislative elections in Chile. We combine an analysis of Facebook and online electoral campaign data from 80 congressional campaigns that competed in three districts with ethnographic sources (i.e., campaigns observed on the ground and in-depth interviews with candidates). The results of this novel study suggest that intensive online campaigning mirrors offline segmentation.

    The Architecture of Cooperation: A Theoretical Proposal about Institutional Resilience
    (CENTRO DE INVESTIGACION Y DOCENCIA ECONOMICAS, 2015) Rosenblatt, Fernando; Toro Maureira, Sergio
    In Latin America, institutions are either fragile or excessively strong. These are the main conclusions that can be inferred by looking at the institutionalist literature that focuses in the region. Although there are numerous studies about the effects of both traits, there are few analyses about the determinants that explain such results. Taking advantage of this theoretical vacuum, this paper introduces an analytical typology that build upon historical and rational choice institutionalism. We argue that to have better assessments of institutional stability and resilience it is critical to focus on the range and timing of the agreements reached by the agents involved in the institutional design. We claim that this focus will help understand institutional stability and instability as well as their degree of legitimacy.
