Data Used in Publications

on Latin American Party Systems

by Michael Coppedge


Vote Shares by Bloc These are the percentages of the vote won by parties in various ideological blocs in more than 160 elections in 11 countries. They are the same data documented in "A Classification of Latin American Political Parties," Kellogg Institute Working Paper No. 244 (November 1997) and used in "The Dynamic Diversity of Latin American Party Systems."
A copy of the working paper may be obtained free of charge at the Kellogg Institute website.
