Resumo
Este trabajo integra los resultados empíricos de cuatro estudios cuantitativos para analizar las
consecuencias de la radicalización política para las democracias latinoamericanas. La primera sección define la idea de radicalización y su operacionalización. Las secciones siguientes exploran las consecuencias de la radicalización del gobierno y de la oposición para la supervivencia de los gobiernos electos y del régimen democrático; la capacidad de los gobiernos radicalizados para debilitar la competencia política en períodos de rápido crecimiento económico; y las consecuencias de la erosión institucional y la polarización para la inestabilidad del régimen. Esta evidencia nos obliga a replantear la responsabilidad de los líderes políticos y su capacidad de agencia como paso fundamental para pensar el futuro de la región.
This article integrates the empirical findings of four quantitative studies to analyze the consequences of political radicalization to Latin American democracies. The first section of the paper defines and operationalizes the concept of radicalism. The following sections explore the consequences of radicalization among the government and the opposition for the survival of elected governments and of the democratic regime; the capacity of radical governments to undermine political competition in periods of fast economic growth, and the consequences of institutional erosion and polarization for regime instability. The evidence presented in the paper calls for reassessing the role of political leadership and its agency to understand the future of the region.
