“…The second group of approaches finds very different results when dealing with the subject in relation to the territorial dimension, specially the bond between party cohesion and ideological and territorial dimensions (Moon, 2005;McElroy, 2007), as well as the relationship between party cohesion and election rules (Sartori, 1976;Uslaner, 1985;Jacobson, 1990;Mainwaring, 1991;Ames, 1992;Geddes and Ribeiro Neto, 1992;Shugart and Nielson, 1993), especially the greater or lesser tendency to respect the party discipline regarding the single-member per constituency, proportional and combined systems (Massicotte and Blais, 1999;Shugart, 2001;Shugart and Wattenberg, 2001;Kunicova and Remington, 2008), or regarding the election systems that enable competition among several candidates for the same party in general elections, such as the "double simultaneous voting" lists (Ames, 1995;Chang and Golden, 2001;Hix, 2004).…”

¿Cómo afectan los gobernadores a la disciplina partidaria en el Congreso Nacional? En este artículo, evaluamos la influencia del gobernador en el comportamiento del legislador nacional, en el contexto de un Estado federal como la Argentina. Por medio de un análisis de las votaciones nominales, determinamos que los gobernadores sí influyen en el comportamiento de los legisladores de tal modo que, cuando se mantienen unánimes respecto de su postura en un tema en particular, la disciplina es más fuerte que cuando presentan opiniones en conflicto, más aún entre diputados que entre senadores. Los hallazgos refuerzan la importancia encubierta de considerar a los gobernadores como un actor clave en la relación Ejecutivo- Legislativo y la disciplina partidaria.Palabras clave: Gobernadores; Relaciones Ejecutivo-Legislativo; IT (Índice de Independencia- Territorialidad); Disciplina Partidaria; Territorialidad.

This paper analyses MEPs' voting behaviour on all regulations and directives forming the Six-Pack and the Two-Pack together with the key vote required to establish the European Stability Mechanism (ESM). Whereas scholarly work has traditionally showed MEPs voting behaviour to be primarily driven by ideology (more specifically, by the MEP's party group affiliation), we expect to find MEPs' national origins to play a counterbalancing role and -at least partially -weaken intra-party position on key economic governance matters, where a conflict of interest might exist between creditor and debtor member countries. Findings confirm that national interests and country-level economic variables can predict MEPs' votes in a considerable number of cases, opening new avenues for future research on territorial cleavages in the European Parliament.
