“…As noted above, the Peruvian party system of the 1980s came unglued with Fujimori's rise to power. Since then, the party system has been characterized by high volatility and increased fragmentation as indigenous issues have been gradually incorporated into the political process (Dietz and Myers, 2007;Cameron, 2009;Vera Delgado and Zwarteveen, 2008) Explanations rooted in the sizes of ethnic groups and their material grievances appear somewhat more relevant to the Peruvian case. According to grievance-based accounts of ethnic identification, ethnic identities matter for party politics when such identities become socially and/or economically marginalized (Chua, 2003;Horowitz, 1985).…”

Until now, scholars have argued that, unlike other Latin American countries with sizable indigenous populations, indigenous politics are largely unimportant in Peru because indigenous-based parties or national-level movements are absent. Rather than focusing solely on the emergence of indigenous parties or movements, which ignores the larger consequence of individuals' indigenous identifications for electoral politics, we argue that it is more important to examine the emergence of indigenous political divisions and their effects on indigenous representation. Using data from the World Values Survey across the presidential elections of 1995, 2001, and 2006, we show that, as indigenous identity has become more carefully defined, indigenous voting divisions have emerged in Peru, and concomitantly, parties have begun to recognize and respond to these divisions.

“…Finally, I include a lagged measure of electoral volatility to assess the link between party system institutionalisation and the success of neophyte candidates. This measure is lagged to avoid a potential endogeneity problem because the rise of political newcomers often accelerates the decomposition of the party system (Dietz & Myers ). The volatility data comes from several recent databases (Tucker & Powell ; Dassonneville ; Emanuele ; Mainwaring et al.…”

Institutions, governmental performance and the rise of political newcomers

This article analyses the institutional and contextual factors that facilitate the election of political newcomers as heads of government in democratic regimes. Using data from 870 democratic elections between 1945 and 2015, it is found that political newcomers are more likely to be successful in presidential systems, in new democracies and when party systems are weakly institutionalised. The election of politically inexperienced candidates is also related to governmental performance. Political newcomers are more successful when the economic performance of the government is bad and when the government engages in high‐level corruption.

“…En extremo, un sistema de partidos crecientemente disfuncional puede colapsar. En su estudio sobre el sistema de partidos en Venezuela (1988Venezuela ( -2000 y Perú (1985Perú ( -1995, Dietz y Myers (2007) identifican tres condiciones que llevan a su colapso: 1) la presencia de una crisis sostenida en donde se cuestiona la habilidad de los partidos de gobernar en democracia; 2) valores extremos de poca o mucha institucionalización partidaria, y 3) el surgimiento de una figura anti-élites con el anhelo de autoridad personal. El sistema de partidos chileno está lejos de colapsar, pese a que tiene elementos en dos de las tres condiciones (está bajo una crisis de confianza y sus partidos son muy institucionalizados, pero por ahora no ha irrumpido un líder populista como una amenaza seria).…”

RESUMENEste artículo argumenta que la legitimidad del sistema político se encuentra en su punto más bajo desde el retorno a la democracia. El 2016 fue el año en el que un presidente recibió la mayor desaprobación, el que registró el mayor ausentismo electoral, el que padeció la mayor desconfianza en los tres poderes del Estado, y el que registró la menor identificación con partidos políticos. La baja legitimidad política del sistema puede relacionarse a causas coyunturales -mala gestión gubernamental y escándalos de corrupción-y subyacentes -desconfianza interpersonal, desapego de la actividad política y élites cerradas-que explican la baja legitimidad. De continuar esta tendencia, esta etapa de baja legitimidad puede transformar el sistema de partidos, favorecer el surgimiento de movimientos y liderazgos populistas, y erosionar la calidad de la democracia chilena.
