Resumo: Despite its high degree of institutionalization and the relative stability of electoral competition, the Uruguayan party system has undergone a significant transformation in the last forty years. This article analyzes that change, from the bipartisan equilibrium that remained until the 1960’s, to the new three party system equilibrium expressed in the 2009 elections results. To achieve that goal it examines the evolution of electoral results, electoral volatility, and party fragmentation, as well as the change of rules that allowed the consolidation of the new party system. This perspective helps to understand, from an institutionalist view point, the way in which highly institutionalized party systems change. The central hypothesis states that changes in party systems, originated by exogenous shocks, are processed gradually through changes in electoral rules that help to stabilize the system in a new equilibrium.

Este artículo analiza el proceso de cambio del viejo equilibrio bipartidista, que se mantuvo hasta la década de 1960, hasta el nuevo equilibrio tripartidista que se expresó en las elecciones de 2009. Para ello, se estudia la evolución de los resultados electorales, de la volatilidad y de la fragmentación, además del cambio de reglas que permitió la consolidación del nuevo sistema de partidos. Este trabajo permite comprender, desde una perspectiva institucionalista, la forma que adoptan las transformaciones de los sistemas de partidos en países altamente institucionalizados como Uruguay. La hipótesis es que los cambios producidos en el sistema de partidos, originados en shocks exógenos, se procesan gradualmente y se estabilizan a través del cambio de las reglas electorales.UFRGS2014-04-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPesquisa Quantitativa; Pesquisa Históricaapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/debates/article/view/4477410.22456/1982-5269.44774Revista Debates; Vol. 8 Núm. 1 (2014); 127-148Revista Debates; v. 8 n. 1 (2014); 127-1481982-52692236-479Xreponame:Revista Debatesinstname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGSspahttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/debates/article/view/44774/29009Buquet, DanielPiñeiro, Rafaelinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-01-10T13:10:20Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/44774Revistahttps://seer.ufrgs.br/debatesPUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/debates/oai1982-52692236-479Xopendoar:2023-01-10T13:10:20Revista Debates - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false
