Abstract

Clientelism is a deeply ingrained informal political institution in Paraguay and a source of continuity relative to political reforms and social and demographic changes, particularly democratization and the advent of electoral party alternation. This article examines Paraguay’s post-dictatorial politics (1992-2023), engaging with critical juncture and institutional change theory to analyze continuity and evolution in clientelist political systems. It argues that formal democratization, rather than eliminating the informal practice of clientelism, produced a process of gradual institutional conversion from a monopolistic form of clientelism to a more competitive and ideologically pluralistic form of clientelist interest representation in Paraguay.

政权更迭与替代庇护：后斯特罗斯纳时期巴拉圭从垄断到多元庇护主义

裙带主义是巴拉圭一种根深蒂固的非正式政治体制，也是政治改革和社会及人口变化，特别是民主化和选举政党交替的出现所带来的连续性的来源。本文考察了巴拉圭的后独裁政治（1992-2023），运用关键节点和制度变革理论来分析庇护主义政治制度的连续性和演变。它认为，在巴拉圭，正式的民主化并没有消除裙带关系的非正式做法，而是产生了从垄断形式的裙带关系向更具竞争性和意识形态多元化形式的裙带关系利益代表逐渐体制转变的过程。
