MORALES QUIROGA, Mauricio. Types of Political Party Identification: Latin America in Comparative Perspective, 2004-2012. rev.estud.soc. [online]. 2016, n.57, pp.25-42. ISSN 0123-885X.  https://doi.org/10.7440/res57.2016.02.

Identification with political parties in Latin America is analyzed in two dimensions: volume and composition. In general, the literature focuses on the analysis of volume, as measured by the percentage of citizens identified with parties. However, two countries with identical volume of party identification do not necessarily share identical institutional contexts or party systems. Identification can be reproduced in different environments. It can even be cultivated in systems of unstable and only barely programmatic parties, which leads one to think of the existence of different types of identification. Two of them are proposed here: i.e., identification through conviction and identification through transaction. To show the predominance of each type of identification, the series of results of Latinobarómetro (1995-2003) and LAPOP (2006-2012) were used in designing multi-nominal logistic models for each country.
