Abstract

We present voters' self-placement and 68 political party locations on the left-right dimension in 17 Latin American countries. Innovative calculations are based on data from Latinobarometer annual surveys from 1995 to 2002. Our preliminary analysis of the results suggests that most Latin American voters are relatively highly ideological and rather consistently located on the left-right dimension, but they have very high levels of political alienation regarding the party system. Both voters' self-placement and the corresponding party locations are presently highly polarized between the center and the right, with a significant weakness of leftist or broadly appealing 'populist' positions.
拉丁美洲的左右维度
我们展示了17个拉丁美洲国家选民的自我定位和68个政党在左右维度上的位置。创新的计算基于1995年至2002年拉丁晴雨表年度调查的数据。我们对结果的初步分析表明,大多数拉丁美洲选民相对高度意识形态化,相当一致地定位于左右维度,但他们对政党制度的政治异化程度非常高。选民的自我定位和相应的政党位置目前都在中间和右边之间高度分化,左派或广泛吸引人的“民粹主义”立场明显薄弱。
