Eduardo Alemán provides a definitive institutional account of how Chile's party system was remade--and ultimately undone--after authoritarian rule.

In Political Institutions and Party System Change in Chile, Eduardo Alemán offers the most comprehensive analysis to date of Chile's party system, tracing its evolution from the 1930s through the early 2020s. He begins with an analysis of how parties interacted before 1973, establishing a historical baseline both for understanding how the post-authoritarian configuration diverged from its predecessors and for tracing how patterns of competition evolved. Alemán then examines how a major realignment following the end of military rule (1973-1990) produced a distinctive, remarkably stable post-authoritarian party system and investigates why that system unraveled nearly three decades later.
