ULLOA, César. The Emergence of Populism and the Breakdown of Political AgreementsSurgimento do populismo e ruptura de acordos políticos. rev.estud.soc. [online]. 2016, n.56, pp.39-50. ISSN 0123-885X.  https://doi.org/10.7440/res56.2016.03.

Why is the emergence of populism possible in some countries but not in others? The answer revolves around an exercise in comparative politics, in which Ecuador, Venezuela and Uruguay are considered as case studies, over a period ranging from the third wave of democratization(1980) to the first decade of the 21st century. The conjecture proposed here is that the institutional crisis that led to populism is related to two situations: a) the incapacity of political parties to consolidate power sharing and the distribution of quotas to achieve balances, and b) the absence of these conditions

Keywords : Populism; institutional crisis; parties; quotas of power; political strategy.
