In this volume, experts on Latin American public opinion and
political behavior employ region-wide public opinion studies, elite
surveys, experiments, and advanced statistical methods to reach
several key conclusions about voting behavior in the region's
emerging democracies. In Latin America, to varying degrees the
average voter grounds his or her decision in factors identified in
classic models of voter choice. Individuals are motivated to go to
the polls and select elected officials on the basis of class,
religion, gender, ethnicity and other demographic factors;
substantive political connections including partisanship,
left-right stances, and policy preferences; and politician
performance in areas like the economy, corruption, and crime. Yet
evidence from Latin America shows that the determinants of voter
choice cannot be properly understood without reference to
context-the substance (specific cleavages, campaigns, performance)
and the structure (fragmentation and polarization) that
characterize the political environment. Voting behavior reflects
the relative youth and fluidity of the region's party systems, as
parties emerge and splinter to a far greater degree than in
long-standing party systems. Consequently, explanations of voter
choice centered around country differences stand on equal footing
to explanations focused on individual-level factors.
