摘要

作为衡量国会制度化和政治精英更新的各种指标之一,立法经验主要是通过更换或连任来衡量的。然而,在拉丁美洲等地区,由于政党制度的不稳定和制度化程度较低,大多数职业并不稳定,抱负也不是一成不变的,更替和连任可能不是衡量立法经验的准确标准。本文旨在通过一个更准确的指标来评估拉丁美洲的议会经验来填补这一空白:立法业余主义。我们使用了一个包含近三十年来18个国家单一或下议院立法机构的新数据集,发现立法业余主义是政党制度制度化、选举波动性和新实施的性别配额的结果。总体而言,我们的研究结果表明,弱势政党和某些选举规则可能成为业余立法人员进入国会的沃土。

Assessing Congressional Institutionalization and Political Elites’ Renewal in Latin America Through Legislative Amateurism
Legislative experience, one of the various indicators of both congressional institutionalization and political elites’ renewal, has been mostly measured by either turnover or reelection. However, in regions such as Latin America, with more volatile and less institutionalized party systems, where most careers are not stable and ambitions are not mostly static, turnover and reelection may not be accurate measures of legislative experience. This paper aims to fill this gap by assessing parliamentary experience in Latin America by means of a more accurate indicator: legislative amateurism. Using a novel dataset comprising eighteen national single or lower-chamber legislatures over almost three decades, we find that legislative amateurism is a consequence of party system institutionalization, electoral volatility, and newly implemented gender quotas. Overall, our findings suggest that weak political parties and certain electoral rules may become fertile ground for amateur legislatorś landing in Congress.
