Until now, scholars have likely not identified this relationship because they have not used the nuanced measures of ethnic fractionalization that account for internal diversity of indigenous populations and race, and because they have not focused on the time period when ethnic peoples were politically incorporated. In addition to demonstrating this relationship statistically, we use two case studies from Bolivia and Ecuador to illustrate how in recent years the dynamic relationship between ethnic groups and political parties in Latin American legislatures has changed and resulted in the statistical association between ethnic fractionalization and party system fragmentation that we observe. Este trabajo demuestra que en América Latina, una porción significativa del incremento en el nivel de fragmentación del sistema de partidos legislativo a partir de la década del ochenta se explica por la reciente incorporación política de poblaciones étnicas. Hasta el momento, los académicos tienden a no identificar esta relación porque no han utilizado las mediciones de fragmentación étnica dentro de las diversas poblaciones indígenas y raciales, y porque no se han concentrado en el período en el cual las poblaciones étnicas fueron incorporadas políticamente. Además de demostrar esta relación estadísticamente, utlizamos los estudios de caso de Bolivia y Ecuador para ilustrar cómo la relación dinámica entre los grupos étnicos y los partidos políticos en las legislaturas de América Latina ha cambiado en los años recientes, resultando en la asociación estadística observable entre fraccionamiento étnico y fragmentación del sistema de partidos. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Latin American Research Review is the property of Cambridge University Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
