Resumo

Neste artigo, examinam-se as conexões políticas existentes entre os legisladores colombianos (representantes e senadores) durante a primeira presidência de Álvaro Uribe (2002-2006). A análise utiliza informação sobre a coautoria de propostas legislativas. A iniciação destas por um par de legisladores captura a intenção de ambos de mudar o statu quo numa direção específica. Essa cooperação para promover propostas legislativas revela as similitudes que existem entre os atores políticos. Examinar as conexões entre os diferentes grupos e a densidade das conexões existentes dentro desses grupos pode informar-nos a respeito dos partidos e das preferências políticas de seus membros. Neste artigo, pesquisam-se esses aspectos da rede de conexões estabelecidas nas câmaras do congresso colombiano por meio da coautoria de propostas legislativas. Além de iluminar a coesão e o alinhamento dos partidos, este artigo constata que as conexões baseadas na coautoria são também influenciadas por aspectos institucionais e regionais.
