“…Although female politicians typically possess the necessary credentials for public service, even surpassing men in this regard, they often lack insider ties to political parties and the established political class (Escobar-Lemmon and Taylor-Robinson 2009, 693–95). Given women's historical exclusion, people frustrated with traditional elites and institutions may view female politicians positively, just as they might opt for indigenous candidates or charismatic leaders operating outside established parties (Barr 2009; Morgan 2011). Also, women are often perceived as more trustworthy and immune to the machinations of traditional old-boys networks (Bouvier 2009; Buvinic and Rosa 2004; Swamy et al 2001).…”

This article outlines three theoretical arguments—socialization, status discontent, and elite cues—that generate competing predictions about the way context shapes gender attitudes. Using hierarchical analysis, we assess the power of these arguments in Latin America, a region that manifests considerable variation on our central explanatory variables and thus offers important theoretical leverage. We find men's gender attitudes to be highly contingent on elite cues and susceptible to backlash effects in response to women's economic advancement. Also, where women lack national representation, distrust of government promotes support for female leadership as an alternative to the discredited (male) establishment. The analysis supports existing individual-level explanations of gender attitudes and demonstrates a connection between diffuse democratic values and gender egalitarianism. The findings suggest that recent advances for female politicians in Latin America may be susceptible to reversal, and they illuminate strategies for strengthening women's equality in the region.

“…Las variables contextuales o exógenas refieren elementos específicos que constituyen posibles variables explicativas del cambio del sistema, las cuales se estructuran en tres dimensiones (Magaloni, 2006;Tavits, 2006Tavits, , 2007Lago y Martínez, 2011;Morgan, 2011;Mair, 2002;Gherghina, 2015).

“…Para Mair (2002: 48) estas dinámicas de realineamiento tienen efectos en la fragmentación electoral, lo cual determina cambios del sistema de partidos a largo plazo. Estos cambios en el comportamiento electoral son producto de cambios en los clivajes, que como se ha evidenciado tienen relación con la debilidad de vínculos ciudadanos con los partidos tradicionales, además de la propia ineficacia del sistema político (Tavits, 2006(Tavits, , 2007Morgan, 2011;Mair, 2015;Casal-Bértoa, 2014;Carreras et al, 2015;Levitsky et.al., 2016;Lupu, 2016). Lo anterior hace referencia a lo que Magaloni (2006) indica respecto al cambio del sistema de partidos mexicano, refiriendo a la incapacidad del sistema político para asumir las demandas ciudadanas.…”

Executive Power. It was precisely in the 2018 elections when a landmark occurred in the trajectory of both the political and party systems with the emergence of a new left political party (MORENA) and its entry into government. This article analyzes the 2018 general election considering the evolution of political competition from two perspectives. The first one focuses on the trajectories and changes in the structure of the party system; and the second one, on the political power conformation and its effects until the last elections. The investigation concludes that the 2018 elections are the beginning of a new political cycle that consolidates a political left project through which Mexico enters into the processes of Latin American ideological transition and they show the existence of competition cycles in the party system.

“…Scholars have explained the success of the left in Latin America in different ways. Some authors have argued for a combination of democratic expansion and structural factors related to poverty, income distribution, and social exclusion, and how neoliberal policies drove voters to punish right-wing parties in office (Baker and Greene 2011;Blanco and Grier 2013;Debs and Helmke 2010;Cleary 2006;Beasley-Murray, Cameron, and Hershberg 2009;Arditi 2008;Cameron 2009;Castañeda 2006;Panizza 2005, Roberts 2014Queirolo 2013;Weyland, Madrid, and Hunter 2010;Morgan 2011;Seawright 2012). Others have also pointed out the existence of international factors and the demonstration effect produced by some leading cases like Venezuela, Bolivia, and Ecuador (Levitsky and Roberts 2011;Roberts 2007;Castañeda 2006).…”

Why have moderate electorates elected and reelected leftist governments in Latin America over the last twenty years? Scholars who rely on the classic Downsian logic of the median voter theorem have observed a process of ideological moderation among the most salient left-wing parties in the region. However, there have been no systematic attempts to evaluate the moderation thesis at the comparative level, either across Latin America or within cases over time. This article uses a directional model in the spatial modeling tradition to argue that the success of the left rests on the provision of clear leftist programmatic cues to voters. Data coming from the Comparative Study of Electoral Systems for five Latin American countries during 1994 and 2014 show that left-wing parties won on left-wing platforms across the region, while an in-depth study on Brazilian elections reveals that leftist voters of the Workers’ Party in 2002 were driven by programmatic cues that largely disappeared during the 2010 elections.
