Party nationalization
contributions to a new party research agenda
Keywords:
Party Nationalization, Parties, Electoral Competition, Brazil, RegionalismAbstract
The research agenda on party nationalization is consolidating in Brazil, after gaining repercussions at the turn of the 21st century in the analysis of European party systems. Why has nationalizing a party become important? The results found in the literature of the 2000s showed that, provided the parties are nationalized, that is, with homogeneity of electoral territory, they become stable elements of competitive and long-lived democracies. This article examines how the research agenda of this theme was developed, as well as its theoretical and methodological developments, and how this analytical framework is producing promising research on party nationalization in the Brazilian political context.
