KAJSIU, Blendi. THE IDEOLOGIES AND POLITICAL MOBILIZATIONS OF URIBISM AND PETRISM: TWO DIFFERENT COLOMBIANS. anal.polit. [online]. 2020, vol.33, n.98, pp.191-209. ISSN 0121-4705.  https://doi.org/10.15446/anpol.v33n98.89417.

Although Uribismo y Petrismo are the two most important political projects on the right and left of the Colombian political scene respectively, there are no academic investigations that compare their ideologies and political mobilizations. This article aims to address this problematic void in the literature by comparing their ideological dimension and the political support they enjoy amongst different social strata. To this end, I utilize a theoretical framework for the analysis of ideologies developed by Michael Freeden (1996), as well as the electoral results of the second round of the 2018 Presidential Elections in the three biggest Colombian cities, Bogota, Medellin and Cali. The main finding of this article is that while Uribismo is a neoconservative political project that receives more electoral support from the upper social strata, Petrismo articulates a populist and social democratic ideology that enjoys more support amongst the lower social strata.
