The institutionalization of “serial personalization” in Argentina's Peronist Party, 1983–2023
Objective The purpose of this article is to explain how Peronism, an allegedly personalist party, has managed to institutionalize its internal power struggles and its succession procedures since democratization in 1983. Methods The authors employ the common conceptual framework developed for this special issue. Evidence is drawn from public media, scholarly sources, and participant observation. A two‐tier approach to party adaptation is developed…
With the cards stacked against you. Challenges to a negotiated transition to democracy in Venezuela
This article uses the political science literature on transitions to democracy to discuss the domestic challenges to a negotiated transition in Venezuela. Whereas a transition to democracy may occur through many different pathways and processes, the negotiated path has often been hailed as the most conducive to democracy consolidation. This article discusses three key challenges to a negotiated outcome in Venezuela. The first is the current polit…
Coup with Adjectives: Conceptual Stretching or Innovation in Comparative Research
Was Brazil’s President Dilma Rousseff victim of a coup or removed through a legal process of impeachment? The heated debate on the 2016 ousting of Brazil’s president testifies to the growing controversy around the definition of coups. Focusing on Latin America, we show that the use of coups with adjectives have become more frequent in public and scholarly debates. Occurring at a time when coups are becoming rarer, we argue that this development i…
Allies and Traitors: Vice-Presidents in Latin America
Vice-presidents in Latin America have often been at the centre of political turbulence. To prevent conflicts within the executive, most Latin American countries have therefore put in place formulae to elect presidents and vice-presidents on a joint electoral ticket. Still, it is common for presidential candidates to pick running mates from other parties in order to construct alliances and appeal to a broader set of voters. But the presence of suc…
The European Political Science Agenda: A Multilevel Analysis from a Country Perspective
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…
Norwegian Political Science in Norway and Abroad: Major Publications 1999–2014

Using this dataset, we explore questions regarding who publishes and what is published in Norwegian political science. We confirm suspicions that publications in international journals ofte…

Explaining variation of executive instability in presidential regimes: Presidential interruptions in Latin America
Through a conceptual and comparative analysis of 14 presidential interruptions in Latin America between 1980 and 2010, this article seeks to improve the current conceptualization of executive instability in presidential regimes and provide contingent answers to three debates: 1) ‘Do political institutions or pressure from below constitute the greater peril to presidential survival?’; 2) ‘Do presidential interruptions constitute a solution to an o…
Paraguay and the Politics of Impeachment
On 22June 2012, President Fernando Lugo of Paraguay became the 16th president in a Latin American “third wave” democracy to not finish his term. Lugo was impeached in a hasty process approved by an overwhelming congressional majority. International reactions spearheaded by the South American left were condemnatory, labeling the impeachment an “institutional coup.” This article compares the Lugo impeachment to the other presidential breakdowns in …
Rendición de cuentas horizontal y preponderancia presidencial: Una combinación difícil. El caso de República Dominicana, 1967-2009
Este artículo estudia la rendición de cuentas horizontal en República Dominicana. Primero se estudian las normas constitucionales que regulan el sistema de pesos y contrapesos. Aunque importantes, estas no explican la gran variación en niveles de rendición de cuentas observada en el caso dominicano. Por lo tanto, el trabajo se enfoca en el ejercicio de los gastos de los presupuestos nacionales y la situación financiera de las instituciones de con…
Ruptura y continuidad: La caída de «Mel» Zelaya en perspectiva comparada
Este artículo analiza y compara la deposición del presidente de Honduras, Manuel Zelaya, con otras crisis presidenciales acontecidas en América Latina durante la tercera ola de democratización. El trabajo indaga sobre los procedimientos, causas y consecuencias en torno de esta caída presidencial con instrumentos de análisis previstos por la teoría de las rupturas presidenciales. La caída de Zelaya fue producto de una escalada de conflictos interi…
Las consecuencias sobre el régimen de las interrupciones presidenciales en América latina
Este artículo trata el fenómeno de las interrupciones presidenciales durante la Tercera Ola de la democratización en América Latina. En este periodo ha habido 18 casos de esos tipos de interrupciones en la región. El artículo plantea que las interrupciones presidenciales demuestran que los regímenes presidenciales, contrariamente a los argumentos de Linz, son capaces de manejar conflictos políticos intensos mediante el uso de procedimientos flexi…
Reducing the Perils of Presidentialism in Latin America through Presidential Interruptions
Apresidential regime is defined by the independent origin and survival ofthe chiefexecutive and the legislature. The fixed electoral terms of the two popularly elected institutions led Linz to argue that presidentialism is a rigid regime that often creates political conflicts that the regime's institutions are unable to handle. Based primarily on Latin American evidence, Linz argued that such conflicts would cause the breakdown of democracy.' Sin…
Executive-Legislative Deadlocks in the Dominican Republic
This study analyzes the causes of executive-legislative deadlocks in the Dominican Republic in the period 1978-2005. Deadlocks are considered a pernicious element in (presidential) democracies. The study applies a combination of simple statistical techniques and process tracing to test four institutional hypotheses, which argue that certain institutional and party system constellations increase the probability of deadlocks. The hypotheses point t…
