Beskrivning
Plurality-led congresses are among the most pervasive and least studied phenomena in presidential systems around the world. Often conflated with divided government, where an organized opposition controls a majority of seats in congress, plurality-led congresses are characterized by a party with fewer than fifty percent of the seats still in control of the legislative gates. Extensive gatekeeping authority without plenary majorities, this book shows, leads to policy outcomes that are substantially different from those observed in majority-led congresses. Through detailed analyses of legislative success in Argentina and Uruguay, this book explores the determinants of law enactment in fragmented congresses. It describes in detail how the lack of majority support explains legislative success in standing committees, the chamber directorate, and on the plenary floor.

'When can legislative coalitions succeed by virtue of disciplined voting, when by virtue of agenda-setting prowess, and when by combining these capacities? Ernesto Calvo's gem of a book takes on these classic themes, powerfully illuminating both the tangled web of Argentine democracy and the politics of legislative control more broadly.' Gary W. Cox, Stanford University, California
