The researcher at the Center for Economy and Social Policies, Aldo Madariaga, conducted an investigation together with the academic Cristóbal Rovira Kaltwasser entitled “Right-Wing Moderation, Left-Wing Inertia and Political Cartelisation in Post-Transition Chile”, which was published in the journal Interdisciplinary "Journal of Latin American Studies" of the University of Cambridge.
Research shows that there is a convergence between the electoral strategies of the center-left and center-right coalitions, the first characterized by inertia and the second by programmatic moderation.
The study also reinforces the findings of the post-transition literature in Chile, which exposes a greater collusion between the center-right and center-left parties, who have not been able to meet the expectations of a better representativeness and have had difficulties with compliance of the demands of citizenship.
