“…If the impeachment itself is not sufficient to give reason to those who see Brazilian coalition presidentialism as a regime vulnerable to crises of decision-making, it does underline the importance of being able to establish and maintain a coalition of support in Congress. Overall, there were no relevant changes in the government coalition, with the maintenance of a similar distribution of power between government and opposition within the Legislature since Lula's government (Amorim Neto and Coelho 2008;Anastasia and Melo 2009;Renno 2010;Melo and Santos 2013). But the changes in the dynamics of the Congress, mentioned above, added to the party system fragmentation and the corruption crisis installed after 2014 demanded greater capacity for negotiation on the part of the President.…”

The year 2016 was marked by the deepening of the crisis that interrupted two decades of unusual political stability in Brazil. Although it has been the most significant event, Dilma Rousseff's impeachment did little to "stop the bleeding," as was shown by the subsequent arrest of the former president of the Chamber of Deputies, Eduardo Cunha (PMDB), and the unfolding of Operation Car Wash (Lava Jato). Besides the economic problems, the Brazilian political system also faced a serious crisis of legitimacy: the main parties were put in check, and a period of uncertainty regarding electoral and partisan competition opened up. In this article, we will review the sequence of the events, exploring some of the factors that explain it, and, aware of the fact that we are in the middle of process with an undefined outcome, we would like to take advantage of the opportunity to resume the debate on the performance of Brazilian democracy as well its perspectives.Key words: democracy, presidentialism, political crisis, presidential interruption, Brazil RESUMEN El año 2016 estuvo marcado por la profundización de una crisis que interrumpió dos déca-das de inusual estabilidad política en Brasil. A pesar de ser el acontecimiento político más significativo del año, el enjuiciamiento de Dilma Rousseff hizo poco para detener el "sangrado," como lo demostró la posterior detención del ex presidente de la Cámara de Diputados, Eduardo Cunha (PMDB), y el despliegue de la Operación Coche Lavado (LavaJato

“…También se configuró una lógica de partidos cartel, donde hubo una significativa cooperación intrapartidaria entre gobierno y oposición para asegurar la posición dominante y el acceso a recursos estatales. Y en años recientes, algunos actores se han posicionado a la izquierda del PT y han ido ganando espacios, como el Partido Socialismo e Liberdade (PSOL) (Sousa, 2010;Floriano, 2013;Mainwaring y Pérez-Liñán, 2016;Levitsky, 2005;Von Bülow y Lassance, 2012;Anastasia y Ranulfo, 2009;Lamounier y Neto, 2005;Ranulfo y Santos, 2013;Moreira, 2006).…”

This article analyzes the quantitative (mechanical) effects and qualitative (perceptions) effects on political representation of the election of two separate chambers in Latin America's bicameral systems. After discussing the spread and strength of bicameralism in Latin America, we compare the different electoral systems for lower chambers and Senates. Our study shows that in a region characterized by relatively high levels of malapportionment in the first chamber, the second chamber reinforces the malapportionment in parliament.Representation tends to be much more disproportional in the upper chamber than in the lower house. Moreover, the differences in the electoral systems and district magnitudes for both chambers make it more difficult for women to win a seat in the Senate. Article Outline
