Abstract

Political leaders around the world increasingly rely on personalist parties to win elections and govern. While existing scholarship assumes that personalist parties do not build territorial organization, in fact they vary substantially in terms of organizational strength. In this paper, we move beyond existing structural explanations of party-building and focus on the role of party elites’ preferences to explain the source of this variation. Through a mixed-method approach combining process-tracing of the case studies of Venezuela’s MVR/PSUV and Ecuador’s Alianza PAIS and statistical analysis of Latin American parties, we find that party elites’ past political experiences shape whether personalist parties successfully invest in party organization. Party officials who were socialized in radical-left parties are more likely to advocate for party-building and their presence within party cadres is associated with stronger party organization.

应该做些什么?激进左派如何帮助解决拉美人格化的党建问题
世界各地的政治领导人越来越依赖个人主义政党来赢得选举和执政。虽然现有的学术假设人格主义政党不建立地域组织,但事实上他们在组织强度方面存在很大差异。在本文中,我们超越了现有的对政党建设的结构性解释,并将重点放在政党精英偏好的作用上,以解释这种差异的来源。通过对委内瑞拉的MVR/PSUV和厄瓜多尔的Alianza PAIS的案例研究过程追踪,以及对拉丁美洲政党的统计分析,我们发现政党精英过去的政治经历影响了个人主义政党是否成功地投资于政党组织。在激进左翼政党中社会化的党内官员更有可能倡导党的建设,他们在党内干部中的存在与更强大的党内组织有关。

期刊介绍: Comparative Political Studies is a journal of social and political science which publishes scholarly work on comparative politics at both the cross-national and intra-national levels. We are particularly interested in articles which have an innovative theoretical argument and are based on sound and original empirical research. We also encourage submissions about comparative methodology, particularly when methodological arguments are closely linked with substantive issues in the field.
