Primarias y consultas intrapartidistas en escenarios híbridos: clasificación y elementos de análisis
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Objective/context: Primaries and internal consultations are playing an increasingly important role in the selection of leaders, candidates, and strategic decision-making within political parties. In a context of growing digitalization and the transformation of democratic processes, these mechanisms operate in increasingly hybrid settings that blend traditional practices with digital actions. Methodology: This article reviews the existing literature as well as various experiences in different political systems over the past few decades. Conclusions: The proposed framework contributes to the standardized study of intra-party democratization and offers analytical tools to assess the impact of digitalization on internal party life. Originality: To address the disparity in the operationalization and analysis of these phenomena, this article proposes an integrative classification of primaries and intra-party consultations based on their degree of digitalization (format) and inclusiveness (selectorate). It also presents a set of indicators for the comparative analysis of both types of processes.
