研究概要 |
My work was published in /Political Communications/ in January of 2014 and in the journal of /Latin American Politics and Society/ in December 2013. Another article has been published by /Party Politics/ as Online First, but this should come out in print in FY 2014. Also, during FY 2013, I expanded my dataset on Latin American political parties and coalitions to include 12 countries through 2013, and carried out statistical analyses of these data. I presented preliminary results of this research at the American Political Science Association annual meeting in September 2013. I subsequently revised the analyses and edited related manuscripts. I traveled to Rio de Janeiro in February 2014 for research collaboration and consultation.

2: おおむね順調に進展している
理由
The research is largely progressing as expected. However, I would have liked to have had an article accepted for publication during the 2013 fiscal year. Unfortunately a paper was not accepted. However, I have revised one paper and it is currently under review at another journal. In addition, I am working on two other papers that I hope to send out for review very soon. As for the book project, realistically, I will not have a complete manuscript by the end of 2014, as I had originally proposed. I would like to have the book under contract this year, but I may not complete it until 2015.

今後の研究の推進方策 |
During the next year (FY 2014), I will continue to collect and compile data, and I will carry out quantitative analyses of these data focusing on quantities of interest in Latin America such as political parties’ electoral coalition formation; political parties’ government participation, cabinet representation, and duration in government; and various measures of government accountability. I will situate my research findings within the political science literature on government coalitions and opposition parties in multiparty systems in other world regions (e.g. Europe, Japan). I will submit three article-length manuscripts and continue writing on the book project. Additionally, I will engage in research collaboration in August, when I will travel to the United States. I will also present my research at the American Political Science Association conference, and meet with book publishers there as well.
