摘要这篇文章考察了地区和国家力量在塑造巴西立法者在国家一级的行为方面的相对重要性。一种普遍的观点是,国家立法者在做出决定时对国家压力做出反应,而不是来自国家政府的压力。州长不仅可以影响全国辩论,还可以通过对所在州的立法授权施加控制来决定结果。本文研究了1989至2006年间众议院所有唱名表决的数据集,以隔离和评估地方压力对立法投票的影响。在五位总统和五个不同的国会任期内,数据显示,地方对个别立法者的投票决定和州代表团的投票凝聚力的影响弱于全国。替代的制度资源使中央政府能够抵消联邦制和其他制度影响的离心力。
Abstract This article examines the relative importance of regional and national forces in shaping the behavior of Brazilian legislators at the national level. A widely held view is that national legislators respond to state pressures in making decisions, rather than pressures from the national government. Governors not only can influence national debates but also can determine outcomes by exerting control over their states' legislative delegations. This article examines a dataset of all roll-call votes in the Chamber of Deputies between 1989 and 2006 to isolate and evaluate the impact of local pressures on legislative voting. Spanning the terms of five presidents and five different congresses, the data show that the local influence is weaker than the national on the voting decisions of individual legislators and the voting cohesion of state delegations. Alternative institutional resources allow the central government to counteract the centrifugal pressures of federalism and other institutional influences.
