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

Elites políticas e representação: uma investigação da literatura contemporânea sobre políticos profissionais

(Political elites and representation: investigating the contemporary literature on professional politicians)

In B. Bolognesi & G. da S. Peres (Eds.), Ciências Sociais hoje: Ciência Política (pp. 274–295). Zeppelini Publishers.

O tema da representação política é uma das grandes questões da ciência política. Ele engloba tanto os eleitores como as instituições representativas e os agentes que, nas democracias pluralistas, operam essas instituições: os políticos profissionais. Este artigo faz um mapa da literatura internacional sobre políticos profissionais. Foram analisados 560 artigos publicados entre 2015 e 2018 em 263 periódicos científicos indexados na plataforma Web of Science. Para entender os padrões presentes nessa literatura, utilizou-se o software de análise de redes bibliométricas VOSviewer. Analisaram- -se dois tipos de redes: coocorrência de palavras-chave a fim de identificar os temas de pesquisa recorrentes e os mais recentes; e acoplamento bibliográfico entre documentos para identificar não só comunidades nessa literatura, mas os trabalhos mais influentes. Os resultados mostraram a permanência de questões clássicas na área (interações intraelite, partidos, eleições, legislativo), mas também uma nova agenda vinculada à área de comunicação política. O trabalho de maior impacto nesse corpus é sobre políticos populistas e mídias sociais.

Political representation is one of the major longstanding issues in Political Science, encompassing both voters and representative institutions and the agents who, in pluralist democracies, operate these institutions: professional politicians. This article maps the international literature on professional politicians. 560 articles published between 2015 and 2018 in 263 scientific journals indexed on the Web of Science database were analyzed. To understand the existing patterns within this literature, the bibliometric network analysis software VOSviewer was used. Two types of networks were analyzed: co-occurrence of keywords to identify recurring as well as most recent researched topics; and bibliographic coupling between documents to identify not only clusters in this literature, but also the most influential works. The results showed the endurance of classic issues in the field (intra-elite interactions, political parties, elections, congress), in addition to a new agenda addressing Political Communication. The most impactful work in this collection is on populist politicians and social media.
