With the election of Juan Bosch as President of the Dominican Republic, that political delicate Caribbean country has a new leader, Latin America has a new democracy and hemispheric liberals hero. The overwhelming victory of Bosch, standard-bearer of the Dominican Revolutionary Party, returns constitutional government to this troubled nation after thirty-one years of agonizing tyranny under former President Generalissimo Rafael Trujillo of equal significance, it adds momentum to the swelling tide of the "democratic Left" in Latin America.

Abstract

How do dominican political parties negotiate and what do they exchange? Analyzing the political agreements, electoral alliances and party shifting in Dominican Republic, this article presents a model of strategic cooperation, his types of interaction based on the principal actors (elites, parties or candidates), in a dual orientation (particularistic versus universalistic) determined by incentives and associate costs. The Dominican experience shows that the negotiate skills not always are used in the name of democratic governance, but reinforce the perverse institutionalization process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
