Entre la insatisfacción y la movilización
Introducción: Colombia suele considerarse una de las democracias más estables de América Latina, a pesar de su prolongado conflicto armado. Sin embargo, los ciclos de protesta iniciados en 2019 y reactivados en 2021, marcados por una fuerte represión estatal, pusieron en entredicho esta percepción. Este artículo analiza los factores que explican la participación en estas movilizaciones recientes, con el objetivo de comprender las motivaciones de …
The populist ambivalence. Presidents and democracy in Latin America
This article aims to explore the conditions under which populist presidents undermine, preserve or improve democracy, with evidence from Latin America. We address five varieties of democracy in the region (electoral, liberal, participatory, deliberative, and egalitarian) from 1994 to 2019 in 18 countries and focus on the backsliding or its absence during each presidential term. To do so, we rely on a QCA approach, through which we interpret the c…
Spain as the EU’s ‘champion’ in Latin America
This paper addresses attitudes around the projection of the EU among Latin American elites, namely the determinants of support for a Free Trade Agreement between the two regions and the trustworthiness of the EU government. We take as data elite surveys conducted in 15 Latin American countries (2014-2019) and consider sociodemographics, ideology, support for democracy, views of foreign powers, exports to the EU, and electoral democracy. Results s…
Evaluaciones de Lula y Dilma en las élites latinoamericanas
El objetivo de este artículo es analizar, con datos de encuestas a legisladores en 16 países de América Latina, los determinantes de las evaluaciones de dos líderes políticos, Lula da Silva y Dilma Rousseff, teniendo en cuenta variables explicativas relacionadas con los atributos sociodemográficos y, sobre todo, con la ideología de los legisladores. Los resultados de las regresiones logísticas muestran que el principal determinante es la valoraci…
Friend or foe? When political elites evaluate foreign leaders
Leaders are themselves key actors in international relations; in recent years, Hugo Chávez and Pope Francis have had an expressive impact beyond their respective traditional influence areas. Why do such leaders display this kind of popularity? More importantly, how do political elites perceive them? This paper aims to identify, employing evidence from eighteen Latin American parliaments, what drives political elite evaluations of a variety of not…
Elite support for peace agreements
In 2016, Colombians in a plebiscite rejected the Peace Agreement between the government and FARC, although a new version was approved by Congress later that year. Attention has been paid to this plebiscite and public opinion, but little empirical evidence has been offered on the attitudes of the Colombian political elites who ultimately approved the Agreement. Drawing on elite surveys made before (2014) and after (2018) the Agreement, this is the…
Nobody Is a Prophet in their Own Land? Evaluations of Pope Francis in Latin America
Using data drawn from surveys of Latin American elites and citizens, this article aims to analyse the determinants of evaluations of Pope Francis, with a special focus on ideology and religious denomination, religiosity, and trustworthiness of the Catholic Church. Results show that the Pope remains linked to opinions on the Church, but not to religiosity, and that differences in personal religious affiliations (or lack thereof) among respondents …

Partir con ventaja. Las características de la candidatura presidencial ganadora en América Latina (1993-2017)
Las candidaturas presidenciales son parte de la élite política, sin embargo, los principales estudios se han abordado sobre todo desde el comportamiento electoral y no desde la teoría de élites. Este artículo busca identificar, mediante análisis de regresión logística, qué características sociodemográficas son más ventajosas para ganar una elección. No se busca explicar el voto, sino definir tendencias de victoria o derrota electoral en función d…
El eurocentrismo y su afectación a las competencias jurídicas de las comunidades étnicas en Colombia
El presente artículo realiza un análisis del modo en que un derecho internacional de características eurocéntricas continúa limitando las competencias jurídicas de las comunidades étnicas en Colombia, en tanto contradigan la sustancia cultural ínsita en su fundamentación, pese al progresivo avance de sus contenidos
Free trade agreements and regional alliances
The creation of international organizations and the signature of free trade agreements have become common in Latin America. However, few studies have tackled the attitudes of political elites. This work aims to analyze the determinants of support by Latin American legislators for free trade agreements with the US and the EU, and for the Pacific Alliance and ALBA. Results show that ideology, pro-state/market positions, and trustworthiness vis-à-vi…

Leadership Style and War and Peace Policies in the Context of Armed Conflict
The purpose of the present article is to establish what links there may be between leadership styles and war and peace policies in the Russia–Chechen conflict. To do so, we analyze the styles of two unrecognized executive leaders, Aslan Maskhadov and Doku Umarov, both of whom were involved in the same conflict with different peace policies. The structure of the paper is as follows. First, we overview the literature on leadership styles in armed c…
Populismo y hegemonía en el Estado Islámico
El presente estudio analiza la construcción y de la representación del califato como Estado por parte del Estado Islámico. Para ello, se ha utilizado la revista Dabiq al completo. En el análisis se establecerá la forma en la que ISIS se autoproyecta hacia el exterior, incidiendo sobre todo en la ecuación nosotros-otros y nutriéndose de los imaginarios sociales y colectivos allegados a esta. En definitiva, este trabajo pretende acercarse al instru…
