The International Dimension of Autocratisation
Partidismo gubernamental en los sistemas presidenciales. Una estrategia de análisis
Objective/context: Based on a definition consistent with the party government model, this article proposes a flexible typology to categorize and classify variants of partisanship in Latin American coalition presidential systems. Methodology: We advance a measurement strategy that, based on the assumptions of governmental partisanship, allows representing the individual-organizational link of cabinet members as committed, eventually consolidated, …
Poderes partidarios y reclutamiento ministerial. El caso argentino
Objective/context: Party recruitment is a crucial governance tool in contemporary democracies. Presidential and parliamentary heads of government distribute ministerial portfolios to party members in exchange for essential political resources, such as legislative support. This article explores the relationship between government formation and political parties, with parties that are not very institutionalized. In particular, it examines the exten…
Government partisans
The party affiliation of cabinet ministers is a critical but neglected notion. While its application and theoretical centrality is indisputable in many research fields, explicit definitions are difficult to find, while operationalizations tend to rely on rudimentary categorizations. Departing from formulating a definition consistent with the party government model, we propose a flexible typology to categorize and rank variants of partisans both w…
Fluid paths to the cabinet in federal presidential systems
The study of political careers has focused mainly on highly institutionalized systems. This article examines the extent to which the findings from this research agenda apply to more fluid settings, looking at trajectories to the national cabinet in a regime combining presidentialism and federalism: Argentina from 1983 to 2020. We propose an operationalization of political career that integrates five definitional dimensions, looks at full sequence…
Ministros y afiliación partidaria. Propuesta metodológica aplicada al caso argentino
La afiliación partidaria de los ministros es una dimensión analítica clave en el estudio de los gabinetes de gobierno. Aquí sostenemos que el criterio operacional más difundido para tratar el fenómeno, válido para gran parte de las democracias parlamentarias consolidadas, puede resultar ineficiente o inadecuado para sistemas con jefes de gobierno fuertes y agrupaciones políticas fluidas como los regímenes presidencialistas latinoamericanos. El ar…
Portuguese Political Science in Portugal and Abroad
How was the flow of Portuguese political science publications across national, European and international levels during the last 15 years? Applying the framework proposed by this symposium, our analysis of 182 top ranked articles shows that (i) articles published in top foreign journals present distinctive characteristics as they predominantly rely on the use of quantitative methods, belong to the comparative politics field, confer less attention…
The European Political Science Agenda
This presentation introduces the analytical framework applied in this symposium for the analysis of publishing trends of European political scientists. Our goal is to ascertain the degree to which the discipline in four contrasting countries (Ireland, Norway, Portugal and Spain) speaks to a wider European or international audience. Is political science insular in these countries, or is it internationalised? On which aspects are the publications s…
Minister Turnover, Critical Events, and the Electoral Calendar in Presidential Democracies
Under what conditions should presidents reshuffle the cabinet in response to critical events? We propose a model that underscores the interplay of political shocks, the electoral calendar, and constitutional term limits to explain cabinet turnover in presidential regimes. Our theory indicates that mass protests and media scandals represent critical events with different political dynamics. While presidents seeking reelection may choose to protect…
The Politics of Minister Retention in Presidential Systems
Presidents and prime ministers often introduce policy adjustments by reallocating cabinet portfolios and shield their favorite policies by protecting key cabinet members.Individual minister profiles are a crucial factor in guiding such decisions.The retention of politically savvy partisan ministers helps consolidate legislative support while the retention of technocrats, who are less vulnerable to the pressures of political parties and constituen…
Gabinetes de partido único y democracias presidenciales. Indagaciones a partir del caso argentino
El estudio de los gabinetes presidenciales se ha focalizado predominantemente en las formaciones de coalición, distinguiendo a los ministros en función de su afiliación partidaria particularmente en los momentos de instauración y terminación del gabinete. Este artículo desplaza el foco de análisis hacia los gabinetes de partido único para indagar las modalidades de selección de ministros en situaciones donde el soporte legislativo de coalición pi…
