We report preliminary findings from analysis of a database under construction. The paper explores the legislative process in search for some of the alleged consequences of cabinet coalitions in a presidential system. Coalition effects should be less evident in the success of executive initiatives: strategic behavior hampers this intuitive measure of performance. Better measures, because less subject to strategic considerations, are the odds of passage of legislators' bills and the time proposals take to be approved. Thus measured, coalition effects are discernible. Analysis of the universe of proposals processed in the fragmented Uruguayan Parliament between 1985 and 2000 reveals that coalition, observed about half the period, swells success rates of coalition members by 60% on average (and by as much as 150% for those close to the president). Event history analysis shows that coalitions cut the wait for an executive bill by 3 months, 1/6th the average wait. The reverse effect is felt on the duration of legislators' bills.

Este trabajo trata de explicar los motivos que han llevado a los partidos políticos españoles a optar, en los procesos de formación de gobierno en situaciones parlamentarias minoritarias celebrados desde 1977, por la formación de gobiernos minoritarios. Contrariamente a lo sostenido por las teorías formales de las coaliciones políticas, la solución al proceso de formación de gobierno en el caso español responde a los cálculos estratégicos de los partidos políticos implicados en el fenómeno coalicional. Como se argumentará, la formación de gobiernos minoritarios en España se configura como soluciones racionales desde una óptica metodológica multidimensional.
