Artigo Populismo e democracia liberal na América do Sul(2008) Leis, Héctor RicardoO populismo é um fenômeno contraditório. As singularidades que marcam sua história na América do Sul mostram isto. Este trabalho procurará registrar a diversidade de circunstâncias que compõem os países da região, para posteriormente concentrar seus esforços na análise do populismo. As conclusões do trabalho vão além dos particularismos do fenômeno populista, associado tanto a regimes autoritários como democráticos, sejam de esquerda ou de direita, mostrando sua convergência numa cultura produtora de antagonismos que derivam irremediavelmente na decadência da comunidade política como um todo. Neste sentido, o principal efeito do populismo será emperrar as instituições próprias da democracia liberal.Artigo Artigo 2015 elections in Suriname : a historical power shift(2015) Menke, Jack; Tribunal Superior EleitoralThe 2015 elections in Suriname marked a significant change since the first general and free elections in 1949. The electoral re- sults indicate a shift in both the electoral and political power that went at the cost of the traditional mono-ethnic parties. Suriname held nine elections from 1949 - 1977 and seven elections in the post military period (1987-2010). In the post military period The Front, a coalition 0f mainly traditional mono-ethnic political parties, won four of the seven elections. However, this could not prevent that their political power base as well as their electoral share eroded. The main argument in this article is that initially ethnic party affiliation resulted in electoral hegemony 0f the traditional mono-ethnic parties. This hegemony ended in 2015 when the National Democratic Party (NDP), led by the former of the military regime (1980-1987), won 26 0f the 51 parliamentary seats. In addition to the role of the changed demographic structure, the defeat of the mono-ethnic parties is explained by the strong emphasis on ethnicity and juridical- political issues after the military regime (1980-1987) while neglecting the socio-economic living conditions.
