El fenómeno Fujimori y la crisis de los partidos
Year: 1996
Type: article
Abstract: Analysis of the Fujimori phenomenon as a case of charismatic governability rather than conventional authoritarianism. The article shows how, in a context of generalized crisis and deterioration of the party system, voters and public opinion moved away from traditional parties and began to identify with independant candidates and leaders. Fujimori emerged in 1990 as a political alternative because the deterioration of the parties and his charismatic ability among the poor opened up a space for him which he progressively gained. He subsequently gained ground among the middle and upper classes by presenting himself as an alternative for government through the 1992 presidential coup. These trends were confirmed in the 1995 elections. Fujimori has become increasingly identified with the independants, despite differences by social class, during the period 1995-1996
