Varieties of Authoritarian Policymaking
Public policies are expected to vary across regime types, but this association remains inconclusive even when further differentiating within types of authoritarian regimes. Focusing on the theoretical mechanisms behind the expected associations between regime type and policy, I propose a novel framework to analyze policymaking and outputs across regimes. I claim that policymaking and how close its results are from the dictator's goal in any autho…

Este artículo analiza las respuestas del gobierno de Alberto Fernández del Frente de Todos a los profundos desafíos que enfrentó en materia económica, social, y judicial en 2022. Mientras que las medidas adoptadas ante la situación económica apremiante y el conflicto social intensificaron disputas existentes en la coalición gobernante, amenazando su unidad, los procesos judiciales y la respuesta del gobierno ante los mismos profundizaron la polar…
Lawmaking in personalist dictatorships
How does lawmaking work in personalist dictatorships? Assuming that legislative institutions established within power-sharing arrangements become costly for dictators to ignore and are consequently likely to affect lawmaking processes and outcomes, we argue that while legislatures in personalist dictatorships may approve most government initiatives, they can affect lawmaking via amendments, which signal factional disagreement and may prompt dicta…

Supporters and opposition in authoritarian legislatures
Do supporters and opposition behave differently in authoritarian legislatures? This paper examines this question by analysing legislative activity in an authoritarian regime with a multiparty legislature. Using a novel dataset on legislative activity in the Brazilian Congress during the last dictatorship (1964–1985), it finds significant differences in the topics and likelihood of enactment of the bills introduced by pro-government and anti-gover…
Nation or District? Evaluating the Territorial Scope of Bills through Experimental Designs
This paper studies the territorial scope of the bills presented by members of the Chamber of Deputies (the lower chamber of the Argentine National Congress) during Juan Domingo Perón's first two terms in office (1946–1955). Its main objective is to observe the effect that modifying the electoral system (switching from incomplete party ballots in multimember districts to relative majorities in single-member districts) had on that scope. Experiment…
