Campaigns in Latin America

Over the last 20 years, I have monitored and collected campaign messages from nearly every country in Latin America. Here are some papers from that agenda:

• Scott Desposato. Estratégia Eleitoral com Representação Proporcional de Lista Aberta e Distritos de Um Membro: Subeleitorados e Comunicação Política. In Magna Iná́cio and Lucio Rennó́, editors, Legislativo Brasileiro em Perspectiva Comparada, pages 269–292. Editora UFMG, Belo Horizonte, 2010

•       "SMD verus SMDRO rules and Negative Campaigning": A model of campaign tone, and an analysis of campaign tone in Presidential and other elections across Latin America (From ECPR, 2013).
