Resumen

Este artículo examina la relación entre la volatilidad electoral y la regulación del financiamiento de campañas políticas en Colombia. El autor sostiene que las reformas recientes a la regulación de donaciones y gastos de campaña y a la financiación pública son respuestas estratégicas a una alta volatilidad electoral y han convertido a sus partidos dominantes en partidos de tipo cartel, que excluyen a nuevos aspirantes y dependen cada vez más de los subsidios públicos. Usando datos relativos a dichas regulaciones y a la volatilidad electoral entre 1990 y 2015, este artículo brinda evidencia empírica de la forma en que una creciente volatilidad electoral encarece las campañas y ofrece fuertes incentivos para que los políticos obstaculicen las posibilidades de nuevos partidos, limiten su acceso a donaciones privadas y pongan más recursos públicos a disposición de los partidos dominantes.

Palabras clave: Autor: Reforma al financiamiento de campañas, volatilidad electoral, teoría del partido cártel
