Coaliciones que pactan los candidatos a cargos públicos electivos: El caso colombiano

Abstract

This article deals with an unusual type of electoral political coalitions, seemingly unknown by interna-­ tional scholarship. It appears in Colombia when electoral campaigns are in progress and binds candidates, never parties: “ir (o estar) en fórmula”. Leaning on academic work on the subject, a description of the coalitions is pro--­ vided and some hypotheses are outlined concerning their functions.
