Título :	Coauthorship Ties in the Colombian Congress, 2002-2006
Palabras clave :	Política;Congress;political parties;coauthorship;Colombia;networks
Editorial :	Universidad de Los Andes
Descripción :	This paper examines policy connections between Colombian legislators (representatives and senators) during Álvaro Uribes first presidential term (2002- 2006). The analysis draws on information regarding the coauthorship of legislation. The joint sponsorship of a bill by a pair of legislators demonstrates their mutual intent to change the status quo in a specific direction. This cooperative effort to push bills forward reveals the similarities that exist between political actors. Examining the connectedness between different groups and the density within group connections can convey important information about parties and their members policy preferences. This article investigates these aspects of the network of coauthorship ties developed in the Colombian lower and upper chambers. In addition to shedding light on the cohesiveness and alignment of legislative parties, the article finds that coauthorship ties appear to be influenced by regional and institutional forces.
