1) Read the passage given below and answer the question that follows:

The evolution of party systems in Latin America in the last twenty years has clearly been beneficial for the representation
of these historically excluded groups. As made evident in the important contribution of Van Cott (2005), the emergence of
ethnic parties in Latin America allowed for a better representation of indigenous communities in at least three important
ways. First, the new ethnic parties increased the policy‐making power of the indigenous groups. In the last twenty years,
ethnic parties were able to push for new laws or constitutional reforms that promote their cultural rights and uphold certain
aspects of the traditional justice systems in indigenous areas. Second, the existence of successful ethnic parties provides
“symbolic representation” (Pitkin 1967) to indigenous communities. For instance, after being ignored by the official
ideology of the Bolivian state which only recognized the Bolivian nation, indigenous communities now have one of their own
as chief of state. In addition to any policy benefits that ethnic parties provide to their communities, this symbolic integration
of formerly excluded groups to the national community also contributes to enhancing the representation of indigenous
groups. Finally, ethnic parties also increase representation indirectly because the success of these new parties “has
increased the propensity of traditional parties to reach out to indigenous voters and to incorporate their demands” (Van Cott
2005: 232). Another trait of party system evolution in the last ten years in Latin America is the rise of leftist parties in many
countries. The rise of the left is often presented as a threat to the stability of Latin American democracies. Some scholars
differentiate between a moderate, social‐democratic left in countries like Brazil and Uruguay; and a more radical and anti‐
democratic left in countries like Venezuela or Ecuador (Castañeda 2006; Petkoff 2005). The mainstream view is that the
rise of the left represents a threat to democratic stability in many countries. Although it is clear that some of the leftist
populist presidents that are now in power in Latin America endanger democratic institutions, the rise of the left has also led
to an increase in democratic representation in the region.

In the last two decades, the party system’s evolution in Latin America has been successful in:

A. Representing historically excluded groups

32) Read the passage given below and answer the question that follows:

The link between capability and strategy suggested by the emerging power paradigm is worth discussing, as it offers a
contribution to theorizing about middle powers’ foreign policy behavior. This perspective suggests a relationship between

the Brazilian position in the international hierarchy as an upwardly mobile middle‐power state and its diplomatic style of
“cautious interim approach to influence” in Selcher’s terms, in which the key features are “bilateral intensification without
multilateral commitment,” and no automatic alignment with either the South or the North. Thus, a study of Brazilian
multilateral diplomacy points to the differential weight assigned to bilateral as opposed to multilateral relations. With the
exception of trade, commodity, and financial matters, Brazil, according to the author, “estimates conservatively the
amount of practical benefit and status which institutionalized multilateral relations can yield for its efforts.” Brazilian
diplomats regard the country’s presence in multilateral arenas “as valuable for informational purposes, to expand contacts
for bilateral follow‐up, and to promote... international projection.” Therefore, multilateral diplomacy is “carried out
primarily as support for the main modality, bilateral relations” at which level Brazil expects the “major payoff in multilateral
diplomacy.”
Two sets of evidence can be presented that challenge the proposition that Brazil’s dual alignment foreign policy behavior
can be explained by its drive to attain major power status. In the first place, there is much historical evidence to suggest
that bilateral intensification without multilateral commitment, rather than being an interim approach of a would‐be major
power, has historically constituted the predominant style of Brazilian conduct in Latin America. The preference for bilateral
undertakings over multilateral agreements dates back to the nineteenth century when negotiations of its frontiers took
place. Because of fears of an eventual alliance among Spanish‐speaking countries against Brazilian interests, Brazilian
diplomacy followed the rule of separate, bilateral negotiations with each one of its neighbors. (Maria Regina Soares de Lima,
Political Economy of Brazilian Foreign Policy, Alexandre de Gusmao Foundation, Ministry of External Relations, Brasilia,
2013:60)

[Question ID = 25135][Question Description = S1_LAMH_828_PHD_Q032]
