Abstract:
|
This study will explore linkages between involvement in the partisan and electoral arena

see Mainwaring and Scully (2003).

and participation in the associational arena from various perspectives. Bivariate measures
of what might be called shared-member linkage provide an initial overview of connections
between the associational and electoral arenas. Then, multivariate analysis of the existence
of party identi¯cation, as well as of the speci¯c party with which individuals identify, provides
an explicit comparison of the relevance of linkages between party politics and associational
life, in contrast with the importance of variables derived from other theoretical perspectives
on party identi¯cation. Finally, a cohort analysis tests the extent to which respondents
who have come of age recently di®er in terms of linkages between party identi¯cation and
associational involvement from earlier groups. In each of these sections, special attention
will be paid to the relevance of party-union linkages, the importance of church involvement
for partisanship, and the role of other associational activity in predicting party involvement.
In almost every case, there is evidence of a continued link between labor union involve-
ment and partisanship. Church involvement and associational activity are also important,
although their relative signi¯cance varies from analysis to analysis and from country to
country. However, there are also signs that these linkages may be in some danger of future
weakening: the most recent age cohorts, who have entered politics after the advent of the
neoliberal reform era, show much weaker linkages than older cohorts; and all cohorts show
weak connections between associational involvement and the direction of partisanship. |

| New Wine in Old Bottles?: Links between Associational Life and Partisan Politics in Neoliberal Latin America Jason Seawright University of California Berkeley A driving hypothesis in this study involves the idea that the locus of political repre- sentation for the popular sectors in Latin America has shifted from a union-party hub to networks of urban associationalism (Collier and Handlin 2006: 1-10). These transforma- tions notwithstanding many members of the Latin American popular sector continue to participate in electoral politics |
