Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) is a new approach to the conceptualization and measurement of democracy. It is co-hosted by the University of Gothenburg and University of Notre Dame. With a V-Dem Institute at University of Gothenburg that comprises almost ten staff members, and a project team across the world with four Principal Investigators, fifteen Project Managers, 30+ Regional Managers, 170 Country Coordinators, Research Assistants, and 2,500 Country Experts, the V-Dem project is one of the largest-ever social science research-oriented data collection programs.Please address comments and/or queries for information to: Staffan I.

Lindberg, V-Dem Institute, University of Gothenburg, Sweden" 2" " AbstractHow do two central institutional subsystems of democracy -party systems and civil society -affect the persistence of democratic regimes? Despite the ability of each of these institutions to provide sources of countervailing power that make politicians accountable and thus responsive, distributionist accounts of democratic breakdown provide few insights on how such institutions may encourage parties to reach accommodation. We argue that these institutions provide credible threats against anti-system activities that would otherwise threaten the democratic compromise. We test our argument with newly available data from the Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) project by analyzing all episodes of democratic breakdown from 1900-2001. Using a split population event history estimator, we find evidence that these institutions not only forestall the timing of breakdowns among transitional democracies but also that a strong party system is critical to setting democratic regimes on the path of consolidation.3" "

“…Muchos votantes pueden responder a las características personales de los candidatos antes que a las de su partido (Mainwaring y Torcal, 2006). O unos pocos votantes pueden responder a un partido en forma restringida votando por él a cambio de recibir beneficios materiales bajo el patrón tradicional del clientelismo (Roberts y Wibbels, 1999).…”

“…Na ampla literatura sobre partidos políticos, sistema partidário e comportamento eleitoral, uma das funções atribuídas aos partidos políticos é a de servir de referência, ou atalho de informação, para a tomada de decisão dos eleitores (POPKIN, 1991;DIAMOND & GUNTHER, 2001;MAINWARING & TORCAL, 2005;KINZO, 2005). Nesse sentido, a questão a ser examinada nesta seção é se, apesar da queda no partidarismo observada anteriormente, os partidos se diferenciam para o eleitorado.…”
