PRESIDENCIALISMO DE COALIZÃO: UMA ANÁLISE CIENTOMÉTRICA DA LITERATURA (1990-2021)

Due to the presidential arrangement for the maintenance of governance in multiparty systems, the coalition presidentialism has been a recurrent theme in political science discussions over the past thirty years. We mapped the literature about the Latin-American presidentialism, focusing on the Brazilian case, from a systematic search in the Scopus bibliographic base. To comprehend/ understand the general framework of this production, we used the 1108 documents found and processed the metadata in the VOSviewer bibliometric network analysis software, considering three indicators/indexes: 1) co-occurrence of words, 2) co-authorship of countries and co-authoring of authors. The results show that production has intensified in the last 10 years and reveal four central pillars for the theme: Executive Power and coalition politics; elections; government and institutions and forms of government.
