Abstract

Entre 1994 y 2004, el Frente Amplio de Uruguay experimentó un importante proceso de renovación ideológica y programática y de reformulación estratégica, lo que le permitió aprovechar con éxito las oportunidades de crecimiento electoral emergentes del contexto socioeconómico y político. A partir de la reconstrucción analítica de ese exitoso proceso de adaptación partidaria, en este artículo se cuestiona la frecuente asociación entre institucionalización partidaria y rigidez estratégica. De igual modo, se sostiene que, dentro de ciertos límites, la fraccionalización intrapartidaria no necesariamente es un factor negativo para el desempeño electoral de los partidos.AbstractBetween 1994 and 2004, the Uruguayan Frente Amplio (FA) experienced a considerable renovation of its ideological and programmatic features, as well as an important reformulation of its strategy. This changes allowed FA to exploit with success the electoral opportunities emerging from the socio-economic and political context. Based on an analytical reconstruction of this successful party adaptation process, this article questions the frequent association between institutionalization and strategic rigidity. It is also argued that within certain limits, the intra-party fractionalization is not necessarily a negative factor for electoral performance.
