Using the United States as a basis of comparison, this book makes
extensive use of roll call data to explore patterns of legislative
politics in Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Uruguay. It distinguishes
among parties, factions, coalitions and delegations based on the
extent to which they are unified in their voting and/or willing to
form policy coalitions with other legislative 'agents'. It
discusses the voting unity and ballot systems that allow voters to
identify an agent, and describes the degree to which those agents
have been flexible with regards to the formation of policy
coalitions. It also shows that the US parties have exhibited higher
levels of unity but less flexibility in recent years, and thus
contrast the prevailing pattern in Latin America. The book focuses
its explanation for the patterns on the role of candidate
nominations, other aspects of the electoral system and the
legislators' ideological alignments.
