ESTUDIO DE LA APLICACIÓN DEL MÉTODO ESTÁNDAR DEL MARPOR PARA EL POSICIONAMIENTO IDEOLÓGICO DE PARTIDOS ARGENTINOS, BRASILEÑOS Y CHILENOS EN CAMPAÑAS PRESIDENCIALES.

The broadening of the scope of application of the MARPOR ideological estimation method for South America resulted in positioning of Argentine, Brazilian and Chilean partisan manifestos further to the left than what is generally classified by specialists. Objective to assess the adequacy of the MARPOR standard method to estimate the ideological position of the manifestos of these countries, this study concluded that this presents inaccuracies in the construction of the RILE scale. In the case of South American countries, particularly, these inaccuracies are due to the existence of distortions caused by the non-partisan emphasis in relation to the expansion of the social welfare state.
