Constitutional renewals: The lineage of democratizing constitutions
A partisan pandemic: State government public health policies to combat Covid-19 in Brazil
INTRODUCTION: To present an analysis of the Brazilian health system and subnational (state) variation in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, based on 10 non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We collected daily information on implementation of 10 NPI designed to inform the public of health risks and promote distancing and mask use at the national level for eight countries across the Americas. We then analyse the adoption o…
Is Mexico Falling into the Authoritarian Trap
Mexico’s 2021 midterm elections occurred amid concerns about the erosion of democratic institutions. Supporters of President Lopez Obrador (AMLO) view his centralization of power in the executive as necessary to make government work for a marginalized majority. But the same state weaknesses that helped to propel AMLO to power constrain his responses to complex governance problems, including poverty and violent crime. This limits AMLO’s ability to…
Constitutional Origins and Liberal Democracy: A Global Analysis, 1900-2015
A strong tradition in democratic theory claims that only constitutions made with direct popular involvement can establish or deepen democracy. Against this view, we argue that new constitutions are likely to enhance liberal democracy when they emerge through a plural agreement among political elites with distinct bases of social support. Power dispersion during constitution writing induces the adoption of institutions that protect opposition forc…
Mexico 2019: Personalistic Politics and Neoliberalism from the Left
This article analyzes President Andrés Manuel López Obrador's (AMLO) first year in power. It argues that his government is hostage to deep-seated fragilities in the Mexican state apparatus, which are structurally constraining its ability to deliver results. Yet rather than addressing institutional deficiencies, decisions made by the new government have further compromised the state's weak capabilities. Under the premise of extirpating the old neo…
One-Eyed State: The Politics of Legibility and Property Taxation
Theories of the rise of the modern state hold that central rulers make land property "legible" to extract revenue, leading landholders to oppose state registration. This study revises this logic and argues that when land ownership is disputed, landholders use inscription into state records to secure legal property rights. To minimize resulting tax liabilities, propertied interests may exploit opportunities to manipulate land valuations, which det…
Building the Modern State in Developing Countries: Perceptions of Public Safety and (Un)willingness to Pay Taxes in Mexico
What is the relationship between taxation and public safety? Contrary to studies suggesting that personal victimization and heightened perceptions of insecurity increase pro-social attitudes and support for state intervention in the form of greater taxation, this article argues that such concerns decrease willingness to pay taxes to address public safety. It estimates what citizens are willing to pay to reduce crime, using an original representat…
Mexico’s Party System Under Stress
On 1 July 2018, leftist Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) won a decisive victory in Mexico's presidential election, while a coalition led by AMLO's National Regeneration Movement (MORENA) claimed majorities in both houses of Congress. AMLO's calls for change resonated with voters frustrated by chronic poverty and inequality, rising violence, and corruption, and his win has called into question the stability of Mexico's party system. Yet AMLO, wh…
