| Resumo: | This research addresses the imbalance between the predominantly European-focused literature on Green Parties and the limitedscholarly attention devoted to Latin America. It does so by mapping the current landscape of the Green party family in the regionand the applicability of established theoretical frameworks. The study identifies the key factors influencing votes for Green Partiesthrough Logistic Models on a dataset of 150 competitive elections across 15 Latin American countries (1985–2024). The findingsreveal that the determinants of Green Party success in Latin America largely parallel those observed in Western contexts, withsocioeconomic factors being associated with Green Parties’ presence and decentralisation with electoral performances. |
