Garay 2011

in Collier and handlin 2011



Focuses on GROUPS and ASSOCIATIONS, not people/participants

·         Union-linked associations are more likely to coordinate with other associations (262, )
o   Meaning associations linked to unions in Arg and Chile tend to be central in mobilizing associations and creating linkages across them
·         Party association linkages
o   Parties see these associations as possible electoral support (262,)
o   Associations tend to seek issue-based interactions with parties, meaning associations try to get things from parties
§  Arg and chile associatiosn support parties, peru supports candidates, and venzuela is multifaceted
·         Associations tend to not have links with corp unions, more with social movement orgs like CTA, and often (in Peru, Chile, and Arg) with public sectors unions (267)
·         Union connection makes little to no difference on the use of state resources, though union-linked associations are more likely to gain access to state resources (271-272)
·         Popular assocaitions and political parties:
o   Parties seek help during elections (276)
o   Associations have three types of connections, issue-based (one issue), candidate based (connected to candidate) or multifaceted (work with a party in multiple was in multiple arenas) (276-280) countries see a mix of these (278)
o   Overall suggests assocaitions weakness to clientelism MAY be overstated (I don’t buy it)
·         Arg and Chile show some continuity between old and new interest regimes (288)
