| contents | Parties and Committees in the Coalition Presidential System Fabiano Santos Sociología parties committees presidentialism coalition This article argues that the Brazilian Presidents lawmaking powers,especially related to budget-making, crucially modify the incentives formore or less cooperative behavior among House members vis-à-vis theirrespective party representations in Congress, comparing the two democraticperiods in Brazil: 1946-64 and post-1988. During the former period, given thePresidents reduced agenda powers, Congress had greater freedom to defineits approach to the Presidents policy program without running the risk ofretaliation in the form of lost patronage and budget resources. During thepost-1988 period, since budget-making initiative is concentrated in the handsof the Executive Branch, the Presidents bargaining power has expanded,requiring Congress to organize in more disciplined parties in order to moreefficiently pressure the Administration to comply with agreements formutual support. The studys empirical section begins by identifying thepattern of coalitions that allowed for the developmentalist project in the1950s as contrasted with the partisan coalition pattern that approved theconstitutional reforms during the Cardoso Administration. The secondsection analyzes the parties policies towards the composition of crucialstanding committees, demonstrating the impact of party loyalty on obtainingseats in the Committee on the Constitution and the Judiciary and theCommittee on Finances and Taxation. The impact of party loyalty wassignificant in the former period and non-significant in the latter. 2002 artículo científico 0011-5258 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=21845203 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=218 Dados - Revista de Ciências Sociais application/pdf Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro Dados - Revista de Ciências Sociais (Brasil) Num.2 Vol.45 |
