摘要

在过去的二十年里,由于规模、投票纪律和技术资源都优于大多数巴西政党,农业核心小组的支持对总统立法议程的实现至关重要。在一个87%的人口都在城市的国家,农业精英的代表如何成为非农业问题谈判的关键参与者?这篇文章认为,巴西农业精英之所以如此成功,是因为他们制定了一种选举策略,在意识形态薄弱的右翼政党支离破碎的政党体系中最大限度地发挥他们的影响力。从经验上讲,我展示了巴西的农业精英如何资助立法运动,动员选民,并资助他们队伍中的政治家的立法工作,而不依赖他们的党派关系。从理论上讲,我讨论了以候选人为中心的选举策略的优势:自我代表和多党制。虽然自我代表权使农业精英能够直接进入国会的议程制定职位,但许多政党的成员增加了他们可以控制的议程制定岗位的数量,并保证了他们在右翼和左翼总统的立法联盟中的存在。

Harvesting Influence: Agrarian Elites and Democracy in Brazil
With size, voting discipline, and technical resources superior to those of most Brazilian parties, in the last two decades, the support of the Agrarian Caucus has become crucial for the realization of presidents’ legislative agenda. In a country where 87 percent of the population is urban, how have representatives of the agrarian elites become key players in bargaining on nonagrarian issues? This article argues that Brazilian agrarian elites have been so successful because they have devised an electoral strategy that maximizes their leverage in a fragmented party system with ideologically weak right-wing parties. Empirically, I show how agrarian elites in Brazil finance legislative campaigns, mobilize voters, and subsidize the legislative work of politicians from their ranks, independently of their partisan affiliation. Theoretically, I discuss the advantages of a candidate-centered electoral strategy: self-representation and multipartisanship. While self-representation has granted agrarian elites direct access to agenda-setting positions within Congress, having members in many parties has increased the number of agenda-setting positions they can control and guaranteed their presence in the legislative coalition of right- and left-wing presidents alike.

期刊介绍: Politics & Society is a peer-reviewed journal. All submitted papers are read by a rotating editorial board member. If a paper is deemed potentially publishable, it is sent to another board member, who, if agreeing that it is potentially publishable, sends it to a third board member. If and only if all three agree, the paper is sent to the entire editorial board for consideration at board meetings. The editorial board meets three times a year, and the board members who are present (usually between 9 and 14) make decisions through a deliberative process that also considers written reports from absent members. Unlike many journals which rely on 1–3 individual blind referee reports and a single editor with final say, the peers who decide whether to accept submitted work are thus the full editorial board of the journal, comprised of scholars from various disciplines, who discuss papers openly, with author names known, at meetings. Editors are required to disclose potential conflicts of interest when evaluating manuscripts and to recuse themselves from voting if such a potential exists.
