Thesis (Ph.D.)--Duke University, 2003.

This dissertation attempts to explain the rise of antipartyism, charismatic movements, and party system breakdown in various Latin American countries during the 1980s and 1990s. In order to do this, it proposes a theory of voter-politician linkages based on rational-choice New Institutionalism. This logic of linkages generates a new typology that redefines familiar modes of linkage such as clientelism, programmatic linkages, encapsulating linkages, and charismatic linkages. Applied to Latin America, the theory suggests that economic crisis is the principal cause of the unique decline of parties in the region, although other variables contribute to the trend and help explain differences between this region and the advanced industrial democracies. The theory is tested through two quantitative analyses of confidence in parties, one a country-level analysis using Ordinary Least Squares on a sample of 18 countries, and the other an individual-level analysis using ordinal logit on a pooled sample of survey data from those same countries. Data for these analyses is primarily drawn from the 1995--97 World Values Survey. The theory is also tested through two case studies, one of the transformation and near-breakdown of the hegemonic party system in Mexico, and another of the breakdown of the party system in Venezuela. These case studies draw on interviews of political elites carried out by the author during 1999 and 2000. Together, these tests show that economic performance is strongly associated with antipartyism and charismatic movements, as is the level of modernization and, to a lesser degree, sectoral shifts due to market-oriented economic reforms. Postmaterialist values are not found to be strongly related to these changes in party systems. These results qualify the pessimistic predictions emerging from the literature on declining trust in government, and disconfirm the predictions made by advocates of radical participatory democracy. They imply that institutionalized parties will regain their importance in the region once economic crises are resolved.
