Abstract:Resumen Introdución El artículo se propone estudiar la Vicepresidencia y su papel en la conformación de las coaliciones políticas. La Vicepresidencia es una institución poco estudiada en América Latina. En los diferentes países presentan funciones que pueden ser distintas, pero hay una en común: el reemplazo del Presidente en caso de ausencia temporal o definitiva. El trabajo analiza el caso argentino y toma el gobierno de la Alianza (1999-2001) y el de Cristina Kirchner y su Concertación Plural (2007-2011). … Show more
“…While in the US case, the biparty system makes the formation of tickets with candidates from different parties impossible, in the Brazilian case, the multi-party system with a high fragmentation stimulates the selection of vice-presidential candidates from another party. This is a recurrent practice due to the need to attract allies to the electoral arena (KELLAM, 2017;SERRAFERO, 2018;UGGLA, 2020). For this reason, in the Brazilian case, the unit of analysis of ideological orientation were parties and not candidates (LOPES, 2020), which can impact the conclusions drawn from the findings in relation to what the literature prescribes (COURT and LYNCH, 2015;KRUMEL and ENAMI, 2015).…”

“…In presidential systems with high party fragmentation the indication of a running mate becomes a bargaining instrument for presidential candidates who want to attract allies (BIDEGAIN, 2017;COUTO, SOARES and LIVRAMENTO, 2021;SERRAFERO, 2018). For this reason, in Brazil a high rate of mixed tickets can be found.…”

“…The greater the integration of the vice-president in Executive activities, the greater their importance within the government (GOLDSTEIN, 2008). On the other hand, a troubled relationship between the president and the vice-president can lead to the isolation of the latter or even their departure from the administration (SERRAFERO, 2018;SRIBMAN, 2009).…”

“…Brazilian case, taking into account the institutional arrangement which is very diverse from what was studied in previous studies. In Brazil, the selection of running mates can be a relevant instrument of exchange and negotiation in pre-electoral coalition agreements(SERRAFERO, 2018). Based on this, in Brazilian elections mixed presidential tickets are common, ones in which the candidates come from distinct political parties (UGGLA, 2020).…”
Voting for a presidential ticket is a common characteristic that is particular to the majority of presidential systems. When a voter chooses a candidate for president, they are actually also voting for the other person on the ticket, in other words, the potential successor if the mandate is interrupted. Therefore, the selection of the candidate who will run for election alongside the presidential candidate represents an opportunity to nominate someone who can increase the ticket's electorate or increase a possible president's capacity for governance. In the literature there is an absence of systematic studies of these strategies used in the selection of vice-presidential candidates. In order to fill part of this gap, this study proposes a Vice-Presidential Candidate Profile Index (VPCPI), which allows an analysis of the strategies adopted in the selection of running mates. For the case of Brazil after redemocratization, the results were hybrid, in other words, strategies were adopted to select candidates who can help attract votes for the ticket, but who also have political experience to act in future governments.

“…1 The existing literature on the vice presidency in Latin America is so scarce that it is possible to cite practically all the existing works: Linz (1988) and Linz and Valenzuela (1994), who touched upon this topic only tangentially while analyzing presidentialism in Latin America; Serrafero (1999;2013;2018), Sribman Mittelman (20112015;2019a;2019b;2021), Mieres (2012), Mieres and Pampín (2015), Bidegain (2017), Marsteintredet (2019), Marsteintredet and Uggla (2019), Pignataro and Taylor-Robinson (2019) and Uggla (2020). 2 The Constitutions of Bolivia and Colombia are being thoroughly used as models by the Chilean Constitutional Assembly of 2021.…”
