Description
Summary:The article analyzed the reform that established the two-round system for Colombian presidential elections. The objective was to contrast the theory forecasts and their concretions in a case study: the institutional changes and their influence on the presidential races during the 1994-2018 period. The central argument is that institutional reform has contributed to an increase in the number of candidates, to greater pluralism and the projection of new parties. It also has encouraged the formation of electoral alliances and coalitions of governments and produced greater legitimacy for presidents. The main finding is that in this case, some of the theoretical forecasts were met, but others were not.
