“…Originally conceived as a center-left party like European social-democratic parties, the PSDB shifted decisively to the right during the neoliberal administration of Fernando Henrique Cardoso (1994)(1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002) (Fernandes Veiga 2011; Power 1998Power , 2008). Yet, while the PSDB has become the main national rival of the PT (Melo and Câmara 2012), it remains weakly institutionalized as a decentralized coalition of state-level personalities with loose organizational ties and few links to civil society (Roma 2002(Roma , 2006.…”

Successful mass parties need to build a stable base of partisans, citizens who feel an affinity with the party. Around the world, voters are much more likely to support the party with which they identify (e.g., Campbell et al. 1960; Green, Palmquist, and Schickler 2002; Lupu 2015a). Partisanship also stabilizes elections and protects parties from volatile shifts in public opinion. Even when a party fails to fulfill its campaign promises, or oversees a period of economic decline, partisans are willing to give their party the benefit of the doubt (Kayser and Wlezien 2011). To use Hirschman's (1970) terms, partisans will support their party out of loyalty. And loyalty "can serve the socially useful purpose of preventing deterioration from becoming cumulative, as it so often does when there is no barrier to exit" (79). Research on mass partisanship has nevertheless focused little on how partisan attachments emerge. That is partly because studies of partisanship focus largely on established democracies, where parties and partisan attachments are already widespread and stable. 2 Scholarship about partisanship in these settings typically turns on whether partisan attachments are stable predispositions or instead fleeting attitudes (Bartle and Bellucci 2009; Budge, Crewe, and Farlie 1976). Evidence of partisan stability is thought 1 For their advice and suggestions, I thank the editors, the anonymous reviewers, Fran Hagopian, Henry Hale, and participants at the conference on "Challenges of Party-Building in Latin America" at Harvard.

“…On the one hand, the party has long highlighted its technocratic efficiency in government and has been popular among Brazil's better‐off citizens (Samuels ). On the other hand, it has a decentralized organizational structure (Roma ), and partly for this reason has never deliberately sought to cultivate a coherent collective public image beyond technocratic effectiveness. Although this image does represent a specific style of government, the PSDB's own leaders have acknowledged that it has failed to foster widespread affective ties to voters (Cardoso ).…”

To what extent do party labels influence individuals' policy positions? Much research has examined this question in the United States, where party identification can generate both in-group and out-group pressures to conform to a party's position. However, relatively little research has considered the question's comparative generalizability. We explore the impact of party labels on attitudes in Brazil, a relatively new democracy with a fragmented party system. In such an environment, do parties function as in-groups, out-groups, or neither? We answer this question through two survey experiments, one conducted on a nationally representative sample and another on a convenience sample recruited via Facebook. We find that both in-and out-group cues shape the opinions of identifiers of Brazil's two main parties but that cues have no effect on nonpartisans. Results suggest that party identification can structure attitudes and behavior even in "party-averse" electoral environments. P artisanship is a core heuristic individuals use to make sense of politics. It shapes voters' opinions on a range of issues, motivates engagement in politics, and impacts vote choice. Most of what we know about the nature and impact of party identification (ID) comes from the United States, where the same two parties have competed for over 150 years, and where scholars have found ample support for the idea that source cues can shape public opinion (Goren, Federico, and Kittilson 2009;Greene, Palmquist, and Schickler 2002;Lau and Redlawsk 2006;Sniderman, Brody, and Tetlock 1991).Over the last 30 years, new democracies have emerged in nearly every corner of the globe. Scholars have increasingly turned their attention to the study of voting behavior in these countries. However, relatively little experimental research has considered whether the core concept of mass partisanship can travel into such different political contexts, particularly where political parties are new and numerous (for an exception, see Barder and Tucker 2012). Miller, and to the anonymous reviewers and editors at AJPS for comments and suggestions. Thanks to Ted Brader for sharing ideas and experiences with partisan cueing experiments.

Thanks to Andy Sell in the University of Minnesota's College of Liberal Arts Office of Information Technology for helping implement and manage the online survey. because free and fair elections are a relatively new phenomenon, and as such, partisanship has had less time to develop as predicted-as a function of consistent information parties provide to voters (Fiorina 1981). Moreover, although individuals in established democracies partly inherit their partisan disposition from their parents (Converse 1969;Jennings, Stoker, and Bowers 2009), in new democracies, neither older nor younger citizens have had many opportunities to vote-and in any case the political context may have changed dramatically and rapidly in recent yea...

“…Apesar de fornecerem ferramentas analíticas valiosas para a compreensão da história recente do partido, esses trabalhos pouco se debruçaram sobre as transformações na base de filiados do PT e na avaliação de sua conexão com os atores da sociedade civil organizada e deixaram escapar importante dimensão na análise dos partidos políticos: sua organização interna. Neste artigo buscamos preencher essa lacuna e nos juntamos, nesta empreitada, aos trabalhos de Roma (2006) e Ribeiro (2008), embora com algumas conclusões distintas.…”

“…Como objetivos específicos, buscamos desvelar algumas importantes transformações e no perfil social das lideranças petistas na organização partidária interna, como a maior capilarização de suas estruturas. Com isso, procuramos trazer mais elementos para o estudo da organização interna dos partidos no Brasil, uma área sub-representada na Ciência Política nacional (NICOLAU, 2010), em que pesem os recentes esforços de Roma (2006), Ribeiro (2008), Braga (2008) e Amaral (2010). As hipóteses que norteiam este artigo são as de que o partido continua permeável à participação de atores da sociedade civil organizada, capaz de atrair filiados, e apresenta um padrão de alteração entre suas lideranças causado, em parte, pela ampliação da inserção do PT na política institucional a partir da década de 1990.…”

O objetivo deste trabalho é mostrar que o Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT) continua mantendo vínculos sólidos com a sociedade civil organizada e a atrair filiados, apesar das transformações pelas quais passou a partir da segunda metade da década de 1990, especialmente sob aspecto ideológico-programático. A partir da análise de dados sobre os filiados e a organização partidária, bem como de surveys realizados com os delegados petistas reunidos em encontros nacionais entre 1997 e 2007, mostramos que o PT continua permeável à participação de atores da sociedade civil organizada assim como teve um crescimento significativo no número de membros durante os anos do governo Lula.
The main aim of this paper is to show that the Workers' Party (PT) continues to be strongly attached to civil society organizations and capable of attracting members after a series of programmatic and ideological changes in the last 15 years. Through the evaluation of membership and organizational data and also the analysis of surveys conducted among PT's delegates between 1997 and 2007, we show that the party still has strong connections to civil society organizations and increased significantly its number of members during Lula's government
