Crafting Policies Together: Citizen Preferences After Crisis
Do citizens prefer national policies that are designed collaboratively over those produced by national government alone? The question is relevant, especially in Latin America, where citizens are sceptical of government’s capacity to address complex problems. In this article, we hypothesize that collaboratively crafted policies will be preferred over those produced by government alone in Argentina and Chile. We design conjoint experiments that ask…
Introduction to the Symposium, “Constitution-Making in the 21st Century: Lessons from the Chilean Process”
Expressions of social discontent that trigger deep political reform appear to be a sign of the times. Emerging political actors challenge delegitimized political elites with promises of a closer relationship with electorates, new rules to fight corruption, and more open access to the benefits of economic growth. Often, however, reforms in recent decades have weakened instead of strengthened democracy, leaving political systems less fair and more …
The Puzzle of Chile’s Resilient Support for Gender Parity
Chile’s 2021–22 Constitutional Convention was the first in the world to feature mechanisms that guaranteed gender parity among constituents (Arce and Suárez-Cao 2021). This was not an easy win. Feminist activists and women politicians pushed for gender parity in 2020-21 in a country that had adopted gender quotas relatively late (Figueroa 2021; Reyes-Housholder, Suárez-Cao, and Le Foulon 2023; Suárez-Cao 2023; personal interview #1, April 21, 202…
New institutions, new actors, new rules: Gender parity and feminist constitution writing in Chile
Formal and informal rules mediate the relationship between descriptive and substantive representation. Women may be present in office but struggle to influence outcomes in the same way as their male counterparts, especially because parliaments and parties carry masculine blueprints that limit women’s individual and collective power. Yet, what happens when new institutions incorporate new actors to write new rules and when women occupy these insti…
Constitution-Making in the 21st Century: Lessons from the Chilean Process
A distinctive feature of 21st-century constitution making is the role assigned to citizens through various forms of direct participation, as well as special efforts to include groups underrepresented and marginalized in ordinary politics. The legitimacy of these processes increasingly requires a role for actors and groups previously excluded from crucial institutional decisions (Elster 1998; Fishkin 2011; Reuchamps and Welp 2023; Rubio-Marín 2020…
La ciencia política y la investigación: La Cuestión Del Método
La cuestión del método en ciencia política no está exenta de debate. En el siglo XX se argumentaba la preeminencia de los análisis cuantitativos por sobre los cualitativos, una visión que se empieza a desmitificar en las últimas décadas gracias a trabajos como los de Brady y Collier (2004), y Goertz y Mahoney (2012). Partiendo de desmontar la jerarquía entre los métodos que es herencia de una visión clásica de los estudios en ciencia política, es…
Women Just Wanna Have Quotas: The Gender Divide on Affirmative Action in the Chilean Right
Objective/context: This article examines attitudes towards gender quotas by right-wing leadership in Chile and assesses gender gaps in supporting affirmative action. Methodology: The study uses original data from a survey of leaders of Chile Vamos, a right-wing political alliance in Chile. A series of logistic models with finite-sample corrections are estimated to examine the attitudes of right-wing leaders towards gender quotas and support for a…
Unpacking the Gendered Consequences of Protest-Driven Crises
Citizen protests are common political phenomena, ranging in size, kind, and impact. This essay focuses on a unique kind of citizen protest that reaches a crisis threshold: massive uprisings accompanied by violence and system-level critiques, expressed in phrases such as “It is not 30 cents, it is 30 years,” used by protesters in Chile in 2019–20. Crises meeting this definition have occurred in countries as diverse as Iceland in 2009, Hong Kong in…

Reconstructing Legitimacy After Crisis: The Chilean Path to a New Constitution
Squaring the circle: The consolidation of incumbency advantage in the Argentine provincial elections of 2019
The Argentine provincial elections in 2019 consolidated the control governors had over their own territories. Despite a profound economic crisis, provincial politics reinforced patterns of continuity rather than change. This was possible thanks to a series of institutional reforms enacted since the 1980s designed to protect governors and their parties, and whose lock-in effects are still in force. In some districts, power-concentrating reforms su…
La batalla por las ideas en tiempos posideológicos: Adaptaciones y permanencias ideológicas en la nueva centroderecha chilena
Introducción: ¿Cómo se posiciona la actual coalición de gobierno en Chile en torno a asuntos morales y coyunturales presentes en la región? ¿Qué permite inferir tal posicionamiento respecto de su carácter de derecha más o menos moderada? ¿Se rige la coalición por una doctrina o ideología unificada? Materiales y Métodos: Para responder estas preguntas, utilizamos datos de una encuesta original y representativa a nivel de partido de los dirigentes …
El auge de los estudios sobre la política subnacional latinoamericana
Introducción Las últimas décadas fueron prolíficas en análisis sobre política subnacional dentro de los estudios politológicos sobre América Latina. Esta tendencia a poner en primer plano la política local se encuentra principalmente ligada a los procesos de democratización de nuestros países y a los procesos de descentralización que experimentaron tanto los países unitarios como federales de la región (Fox 1994). Sin embargo, mientras que el boo…
The Federal Dilemma: Organisational Strategies and the Consolidation of Parties in Mexico and Argentina
What accounts for the consolidation of party organisations? The specialised literature has stressed the importance of institutions in shaping the ways in which political parties organise. However, little attention has been paid to the role of federalism. We argue that in federal settings, party territorial organisational strategies condition their capacity to become consolidated parties. We illustrate our theory with an analysis of the developmen…

Federalized Party Systems and Subnational Party Competition: Theory and an Empirical Application to Argentina
In 1949 V.O. Key wrote about the importance of state-level one-party in the southern United States for organizing local authoritarian rule in a nationally competitive party system.1 Key's study documented a phenomenon that continues to pose theoretical puzzles to contemporary scholarship on party systems: the simultaneous existence of competitive party politics and noncompetitive party politics in one national party system. In addition to documen…
