Una “Des-Organización Organizada” : organización informal y persistencia de estructuras partidarias locales en el peronismo argentino.
Full text linkFil: Levitsky, Steven. Universidad de Harvard; Estados Unidos.El Partido Justicialista (PJ) o “peronista” argentino representa desde hace tiempo un misterio para los analistas. Si bien su fuerza electoral está más allá de toda discusión, la debilidad e inactividad de la burocracia partidaria y de los cuerpos formales dirigenciales ha llevado a numerosos estudiosos a describir la organización de este partido como inexistente. Asimismo, algunos especialistas descalificaron al partido peronista original como un “cadáver” o como “poco más que un apéndice de las instituciones estatales” y en el mismo sentido, el PJ contemporáneo ha sido descripto como un “simple membrete” o un “comité electoral” dirigido por un pequeño círculo de “operadores” en Buenos Aires
Crisis, adaptación partidaria y estabilidad del régimen en la Argentina : el caso del peronismo, 1989-1995
No full textFil: Levitsky, Steven. University of California. Departament of Political Science; Estados Unidos.Este trabajo examina el caso de un partido que se adaptó y sobrevivió -y de una democracia que se consolidó- en el contexto contemporáneo de crisis y ajuste económico: el Partido Justicialista (peronista) (PJ) de la Argentina.
Históricamente uno de los movimientos basados en la clase obrera más poderosos de la región, el peronismo fue durante mucho tiempo un firme opositor de las políticas económicas liberales. No obstante, desde 1989, el gobierno peronista de Carlos Menem implemento con éxito un programa neoliberal que choca tanto con la tradición partidaria como con los intereses de los aliados sindicales del partido. El gobierno peronista no sólo estabilizó una economía hiperinflacionaria y restableció el crecimiento económico, sino que conservó en gran medida el apoyo de su base obrera y de clase baja, lo que permitió que el partido gobernante ganara cuatro elecciones nacionales consecutivas

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
How Democracies Die
No full textDr. Levitsky’s writings on political parties, informal institutions, and competitive authoritarianism are agenda setting works in the discipline of political science. His most recent work on partisan polarization, the 2018 New York Times bestseller How Democracies Die, with Daniel Ziblatt, has made him a central figure in contemporary debates regarding American democracy. According to The New York Times Book Review this book is “comprehensive, enlightening, and terrifyingly timely.”
Professor Levitsky is also co-author of Competitive Authoritarianism: Hybrid Regimes after the Cold War (2010); author of Transforming Labour- Based Parties in Latin America: Argentine Peronism in Comparative Perspective (2003); and co-editor of The Resurgence of the Left in Latin America (2011), Informal Institutions and Democracy: Lessons from Latin America (2006), and Argentine Democracy: The Politics of Institutional Weakness (2005).Non UBCUnreviewedFacult
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

Essays on Political Socialization and Polarization
No full textThis dissertation studies the long-term consequences of political socialization. In the first paper, I study socialization under different regime types and its implications for democratic consolidation. Using public opinion data from transitioning democracies in Sub-Saharan Africa I show that democracy may not be self-enforcing: Individuals socialized under democracy voice less support for democratic rule than individuals socialized under autocracy. In the second paper, my co-author and I analyze habituation effects through socialization among newly enfranchised 16-year-old voters in Austria. We suggest that lowering the voting age has benefits for long-term rates of political participation, but may also reinforce polarization. The third paper conceptualizes political polarization as one form of socialization and demonstrates widespread misperceptions of out-group ideologies in the US electorate. It utilizes and experimental design to test whether an information intervention can mitigate some of the negative consequences of partisan polarization. I find that individuals update their posterior beliefs about out-group ideologies. Such updating lowers negative affect and threat perceptions, but does not impact issue-based polarization.Governmen
