Resumo
At least 41 Evangelical Political Parties (EPPs) have been created in Latin America since the 1980s. While some of these political parties have been viable, others have not. This article explores the conditions that contribute to an EPP's viability from a party-centered perspective. Focusing on the case of Colombia and using csQCA analysis, the study identifies two causal configurations that explain an EPP's viability. The first shows that ecclesial support combined with a broader programmatic agenda is sufficient for an EPP's viability, while the second demonstrates that ecclesial support, coupled with an autonomous internal structure, is also sufficient to ensure viability.
