description | Objective/Context: What consequences does intra-party conflict have on the redistributive reforms of left-wing governments? This article aims to analyze the effects of intra-party conflict on redistributive policy reforms, highlighting the character of the factions—their ideology and connection with social bases— and their role in negotiating the reforms. Methodology: It is a case study, which allows characterizing party actors and their performance in four reforms of the governments of the Broad Front of Uruguay, a fractionalized party. Conclusion: The internal conflict was relevant and had a radicalizing or moderating effect, depending on the role played by the left and center-left fractions in the reform processes. Tension arose from the imperative to coordinate the adoption of policies that would reduce inequality and ensure economic dynamism. Originality: It lies in showing that, in certain cases, party fractions seek to serve the interests of their social base regardless of—and in contradiction to—their ideological position. The resulting public policy was not strictly the one preferred by the main fraction but includes concessions to the consenting fraction when there is a certain balance of power between them. |
