Political Party Strategies in Unequal Democracies

Edición de la obra Segmented Representation

Examines how the success or failure of political parties in representative democracies rests on their ability to engage voters in highly unequal and individualized societies. Using Chile's right-wing UDI and Uruguay's left-wing Frente Amplio as case studies, looks at how both have achieved political victories by simultaneously segmenting and harmonizing their linkages to distinct cross-sections of voters.
