    Electoral Competitiveness in Competitive Authoritarianism in Latin America 1990-2014.

  • Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

    Elections in competitive authoritarian regimes have become a major focus of comparative research. However, existing research mostly focuses on large-N comparative studies with older cases and data. Therefore, the conclusions of these researches typically only have a fairly limited explanatory potential. A number of authors thus suggests turning our attention to researches with small and middle-N, which - thanks to closer interaction with data - can help improve the explanatory ability (Ganhdi and Lust-Okar 2009; Morse, 2012). The aim of this study is to react to this situation and offer an explanation of varying degree of electoral competitiveness in competitive authoritarianism in Latin America. For that purpose, this study compares 41 cases of elections that were carried out between 1990 and 2014, using regression analysis and qualitative comparative analysis (QCA). This study uses the data from the Varieties of Democracy (V-DEM) project and tries to either provide more accurate conclusions than some of the previous researches or to disprove these conclusions altogether. The results highlight the importance of economic growth, concurent elections, opposition party ban, cohesion of the opposition and media censorship. These findings are in a discrepancy with previous research which rather put structural factors in the back seat and considered actors’ behaviour to be the key factors. What is even more interesting though the two most influential structural explanations which are to be usually mentioned with respect of competitive authoritarianism, i.e. natural resources rent and economic statism, are then in the Latin America&apos;s context to be proved as rather irrelevant.
