dc.description.abstract | This paper analyzes the relationship between malapportionment and electoral bases
of support for Brazilian senators. The conventional wisdom asserts that malapportionment
contributes to the “politics of backwardness” – that it facilitates clientelism and
hinders issue-based campaigns, reducing electoral competition and producing geographically
concentrated patterns of votes. Our study partially confirms, yet partially refutes
this wisdom. Our research indicates that malapportionment affects the competitiveness
of elections: senators from overrepresented states tend to dominate their key municipalities
electorally, whereas senators from underrepresented states tend to share their core
municipalities. In addition, underrepresentation increases the likelihood that leftist
candidates will be elected. These findings are consistent with the traditional understanding.
However, contrary to the conventional wisdom, we find that senators from underrepresented
states tend to exhibit geographically concentrated patterns of electoral bases, whereas
those from overrepresented areas show much more scattered bases of support. Hence,
our findings suggest that the relationship between malapportionment and elections
may be more complex than commonly acknowledged. | en |
dc.description.abstract | Esse artigo analisa a relação entre a desproporcionalidade de representação e as bases
eleitorais dos senadores brasileiros. A crença tradicional é de que a desproporcionalidade
está associada à chamada “política do atraso”, ao clientelismo e à inibição das disputas
políticas baseadas em ideias e na discussão das políticas importantes para a sociedade.
O resultado seria a redução da competição eleitoral e a produção de padrões de votos
geograficamente concentrados. Por um lado, nosso estudo confirma parcialmente essa
crença; por outro lado, a rejeita. Ele indica que a desproporcionalidade afeta a competitividade
das eleições: senadores de estados sobrerepresentados tendem a dominar eleitoralmente
seus municípios principais, enquanto os senadores de estados subrepresentados tendem
a dividi-los. Além disso, a subrepresentação aumenta a propensão de que candidatos
de esquerda sejam eleitos. Tais achados são consistentes com o entendimento tradicional.
No entanto, ao contrário da crença tradicional, descobrimos que senadores de estados
subrepresentados tendem a exibir padrões de votações geograficamente concentrados;
já os senadores provenientes de áreas sobrerepresentadas apresentaram bases eleitorais
muito mais dispersas. Com isso, nossos achados sugerem que a relação entre a desproporcionalidade
de representação e a distribuição espacial dos votos parece ser bem mais complexa
do que frequentemente se acreditava. | pt |
