Ministries That We Want
Measuring the value of cabinet portfolios is a fundamental task in the study of coalition politics. Yet existing measures are often static, have limited coverage, or assume that all parties value portfolios equally. In this paper, we introduce a new approach that overcomes these problems. We argue that parties signal their portfolio preferences through legislative behaviors, such as floor speeches, bill sponsorship, motions, and budgetary earmark…
Cabinet Reshuffles in Latin America
In this article we propose an innovative comparative analysis of cabinet reshuffles in Latin American presidential systems, focusing on personal incentives as drivers of ministerial turnover. We analyse when and why risks of reputational damage to a president drive cabinet changes. These risks are contingent and dependent upon the interaction between a president's reputational assets, on the one hand, and the high ‘walk-away value’ of the ministe…
The Institutional Presidency in Latin America
This article focuses on the evolution of the institutional presidency in six Latin American presidential democracies since the last wave of redemocratization. Institutional presidency refers to the bulk of agencies that operate under direct presidential authority and are in charge of supporting the presidential leadership. We document all structural changes occurring under the umbrella of the president for the period of analysis. We find that the…
The Institutional Presidency from a Comparative Perspective
This paper focuses on the evolution of the institutional presidency - meaning the cluster of agencies that directly support the chief of the executive - in Argentina and Brazil since their redemocratization in the 1980s. It investigates what explains the changes that have come about regarding the size of the institutional presidency and the types of agency that form it. Following the specialized literature, we argue that the growth of the institu…
Partidos legislativos e governo de coalizão
Este artigo investiga a dinâmica de controle político entre Executivo e Legislativo sob o presidencialismo de coalizão no Brasil, com foco nos efeitos da delegação das tarefas de governo para o gabinete multipartidário. Argumentamos que as chances de controle horizontal, relativo ao monitoramento mútuo entre os partidos da coalizão, variam de acordo com o partido, o gabinete ministerial e as características das comissões parlamentares. O referent…
Escogiendo ministros y formando políticos
El artículo examina la elección de los ministros y estima las posibilidades de selección de los políticos profesionales vis-à-vis la selección de técnicos o políticos novatos en gabinetes multipartidistas. La selección ministerial es analizada como un cálculo partidario para convertir la designación ministerial en un recurso para la retención y/o proyección de sus cuadros partidarios. Se testearon dos hipótesis: a) la lealtad, los vínculos partid…
Introduction New Directions in Legislative Politics
This special issue, “New Directions in Legislative Politics,” comes at a crossroads in a research field that, on one hand, has already contributed substantial empirical knowledge and been engaged with theory-building, and on the other hand, still remains in its early stages
Government or Opposition? The Determinants of Legislative Support for Governors in Brazil
This article analyzes the microfoundations of support for governors in Brazil based on a decision model in which deputies attempt to reduce their electoral risks. This model considers the effects of the individual backgrounds of legislators, party strength, and the dynamics of political competition in states. We used ordinary least square regression models to estimate the chances of a legislator to adopt an oppositional stance. The results confir…
