Abstract

ABSTRACT This report analyses the subnational elections in Uruguay in 2020. The main findings show an important consolidation of the right-wing parties, particularly the Partido Nacional, both at the second and third level of government (departments and municipalities respectively). This electoral power is reflected in three events. Firstly, the victory claimed by such party in 15 out of the country’s 19 departmental governments, with cases in which electoral competition tends to be very low. A decreased electoral volatility between national and departmental elections is also associated with such power. Finally, there is the clear victory of the Partido Nacional at the municipal level, where it has managed to be elected in 90 out of the 125 local governments. In a country with one of the most consolidated democracies in the region, this paper raises the issue about the lack of competitiveness at the subnational level in several territories of the country.
乌拉圭2020年地方选举:国内右翼选举权力的巩固
本报告分析了乌拉圭2020年的地方选举。主要调查结果显示,右翼政党,特别是民族党,在第二级和第三级政府(分别为省和市)都有重要的巩固。这种选举权力反映在三个事件中。首先,该党在全国19个省级政府中的15个获胜,而在这些地方,选举竞争往往非常低。国家和省选举之间的选举波动减少也与这种权力有关。最后,国家党在市政一级取得了明显的胜利,在125个地方政府中的90个中成功当选。在一个拥有该地区最巩固的民主国家之一的国家,本文提出了该国几个地区在次国家一级缺乏竞争力的问题。

期刊介绍: The upsurge of academic and political interest in regional and federal questions since the 1980s has been stimulated by the salience of regions in EU policy-making and the Structural Funds but also by regionalization and federalization processes in many Western states. The most striking example is the devolution occurring in the UK, but the process is at work all over Europe and in other parts of the world. These developments have led to many important research programmes and projects. Regional and Federal Studies is a refereed social science journal which provides an academic forum for the publication of international research on these issues. It is essential reading for both academics and practitioners in politics, administration and the business world.
