Non-policy politics : richer voters, poorer voters, and the diversification of electoral strategies
\"Political parties can select the policies they offer, but have different reputations for competence, unequal capacity to mobilize activists, and different resources to deliver pork and patronage. These are crucial non-policy resources shaping their electoral success. We show how these non-policy resources also shape parties' ideological positions and which type of electoral offers they target to poorer or richer voters. Hence, non-policy politics shapes both electoral success and which voters get what. We describe how the book assesses voters' non-policy preferences with detailed survey and administrative data from Argentina and Chile, including a novel methodology for measuring partisan networks, and how those preferences shapes parties policy and non-policy offers\"-- Provided by publisher.

Single Party Cabinets and Presidential Democracies: insights from the Argentinean case
The study of presidential cabinets has mainly focused on coalitional formations, distinguishing individual ministers in terms of their party affiliation particularly at cabinet instauration and termination. This article moves the focus to single-party cabinets to study minister appointment in situations where the legislative support is less relevant. A model of analysis that observes extra-partisan affiliations, individual technical skills and personal liaison with the president is proposed and exploratory applied to the Argentinean case. The results suggest that well positioned presidents tend to apply closer strategies of portfolio distribution, with levels of institutionalization that depends on the president s party organization and the president s style of leadership. Adapted from the source document.

THE CONTOURS OF PARTY PATRONAGE IN ARGENTINA
Studies on the Argentine public administration have usually underlined the weakness of Argentine state bureaucracies. On the basis of these assertions, scholars have tended to equate the number of state jobs with cases of patronage. By doing so, they have neglected the crucial issue of the scope of appointments effectively controlled by political parties. This article applies an innovative empirical inquiry to measure the extent of party patronage, assessing where, how deeply, and to what extent parties reach into the Argentine federal state structures. While the results by and large confirm the widespread notion of the broad scope of political appointments in Argentina, they refute the conventional hypothesis of a state thoroughly colonized by parties. Overall, the results suggest that parties' distribution of public jobs in the Argentine federal state is oriented less to mass-style patronage than to gaining effective and broad control over state institutions. Los estudios sobre la administración pública argentina suelen destacar la debilidad de las burocracias estatales. Sobre esta base, resulta habitual encontrar trabajos académicos en los que el número de empleos públicos se asimila al número de casos de patronazgo. De este modo se ha desatendido la cuestión crucial del alcance de las designaciones efectivamente bajo control de los partidos políticos. Este artículo se vale de una metodología novedosa para medir la extensión del patronazgo partidario, estableciendo dónde, cuan profundamente, y con qué extensión los partidos penetran las estructuras del estado federal argentino. Mientras por un lado los resultados confirman la noción de un amplio alcance de las designaciones políticas en Argentina, ellos también refutan la hipótesis convencional de un estado completamente colonizado por los partidos. Los resultados sugieren finalmente que la asignación de empleos por parte de los partidos en el estado federal argentino está menos orientada a un patronazgo de masas que a lograr un control amplio y efectivo sobre las instituciones estatales.

Latin America's Left Turn
With all the talk of Latin America's turn to the left, few have noticed that there are really two lefts in the region. One has radical roots but is now open-minded and modern; the other is close-minded and stridently populist. Rather than fretting over the left's rise in general, the rest of the world should focus on fostering the former rather than the latter--because it is exactly what Latin America needs.
