Bolognesi, B., Ribeiro, E., & Codato, A.. (2023). A New Ideological Classification of Brazilian Political Parties. Dados, 66(2), e20210164. Just as democratic politics changes, so does the perception about the parties out of which it is composed. This paper’s main purpose is to provide a new and updated ideological classification of Brazilian political parties. To do so, we applied a survey to political scientists in 2018, asking them to position each party on a left-right continuum and, additionally, to indicate their major goal: to pursue votes, government offices, or policy issues. Our findings indicate a centrifugal force acting upon the party system, pushing most parties to the right. Furthermore, we show a prevalence of patronage and clientelistic parties, which emphasize votes and offices rather than policy. keywords: political parties; political ideology; survey; party models; elections

Political Regime and Parliamentary Recruitment in Brazil: A Collective Profile of Senators before and afterthe Dictatorship

Abstract:

The article rebuilds the collective profiles of the Brazilian Senate benches in three periods: the populist democracy (1945-1964) , themilitary dictatorship (1964-1979) and the regime of transition to liberal democracy (1979-1990). The time frame takes into accountthree party systems: multipartisan (1945-1965), bipartisan (1965-1979) and multiparty one more time (1979 ahead). The hypothesisweseekto test is thefollowing:changesin thesocialprofileandtheprofileof thepoliticalcareerof parliamentariansshould berelatedto the type of political regime and, more specifically, with the then current party system. In the case analyzed here, is assumed the at-tributes of Brazilian Senate members elected under a system of several competing parties must be distinct from attributes of thoseelected under bipartisanship – even though the electoral rules were the same. In order to analyze the impact of the changes in condi-tions for access the upper chamber 351 senators were studied. The data shows these representativeshad the profile of their careersse-verely affected by variations in the parameters of political competition imposed by the military dictatorship. The narrowing of opportunity structure, a straight effect of bipartisan system, was responsible for harming competitors without major political experi-ence.With the reintroductionof multiparty politics in the 1982 elections,the characteristicsof these parliamentarycareerscamebackto the previous profile previous to 1964.
