dc.description.abstractThis paper analyzes the relationship between malapportionment and electoral bases of support for Brazilian senators. The conventional wisdom asserts that malapportionment contributes to the “politics of backwardness” – that it facilitates clientelism and hinders issue-based campaigns, reducing electoral competition and producing geographically concentrated patterns of votes. Our study partially confirms, yet partially refutes this wisdom. Our research indicates that malapportionment affects the competitiveness of elections: senators from overrepresented states tend to dominate their key municipalities electorally, whereas senators from underrepresented states tend to share their core municipalities. In addition, underrepresentation increases the likelihood that leftist candidates will be elected. These findings are consistent with the traditional understanding. However, contrary to the conventional wisdom, we find that senators from underrepresented states tend to exhibit geographically concentrated patterns of electoral bases, whereas those from overrepresented areas show much more scattered bases of support. Hence, our findings suggest that the relationship between malapportionment and elections may be more complex than commonly acknowledged.en
dc.description.abstractEsse artigo analisa a relação entre a desproporcionalidade de representação e as bases eleitorais dos senadores brasileiros. A crença tradicional é de que a desproporcionalidade está associada à chamada “política do atraso”, ao clientelismo e à inibição das disputas políticas baseadas em ideias e na discussão das políticas importantes para a sociedade. O resultado seria a redução da competição eleitoral e a produção de padrões de votos geograficamente concentrados. Por um lado, nosso estudo confirma parcialmente essa crença; por outro lado, a rejeita. Ele indica que a desproporcionalidade afeta a competitividade das eleições: senadores de estados sobrerepresentados tendem a dominar eleitoralmente seus municípios principais, enquanto os senadores de estados subrepresentados tendem a dividi-los. Além disso, a subrepresentação aumenta a propensão de que candidatos de esquerda sejam eleitos. Tais achados são consistentes com o entendimento tradicional. No entanto, ao contrário da crença tradicional, descobrimos que senadores de estados subrepresentados tendem a exibir padrões de votações geograficamente concentrados; já os senadores provenientes de áreas sobrerepresentadas apresentaram bases eleitorais muito mais dispersas. Com isso, nossos achados sugerem que a relação entre a desproporcionalidade de representação e a distribuição espacial dos votos parece ser bem mais complexa do que frequentemente se acreditava.pt
