Around the world, established parties are weakening, and new parties are failing to take root. In many cases, outsiders have risen and filled the void, posing a threat to democracy. Why do most new parties fail? Under what conditions do they survive and become long-term electoral fixtures? Brandon Van Dyck investigates these questions in the context of the contemporary Latin American left. He argues that stable parties are not an outgrowth of democracy. On the contrary, contemporary democracy impedes successful party building. To construct a durable party, elites must invest time and labor, and they must share power with activists. Because todays elites have access to party substitutes like mass media, they can win votes without making such sacrifices in time, labor, and autonomy. Only under conditions of soft authoritarianism do office-seeking elites have a strong electoral incentive to invest in party building. Van Dyck illustrates this argument through a comparative analysis of four new left parties in Latin America: two that collapsed and two that survived.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I want to begin by thanking Steve Levitsky, Jorge Dominguez, and Fran Hagopian, who spent many dozens of hours helping me to write this book. They discussed my ideas with me, read and commented on drafts, and connected me to their colleagues, despite being busy with professional service, undergraduate teaching, graduate advising, and their own research. I also want to thank Al Montero, who offered useful feedback on an early draft and has been consistently positive and constructive in our interactions.
My four case studies are based on roughly a year of fieldwork that I conducted in Brazil, Mexico, Peru, and Argentina. During my time in the field, I interviewed many dozens of individuals, primarily party elites and activists; they are named at the end of the bibliography. I am grateful to all of them for their time and the knowledge they provided. Their observations and recollections helped me to test and revise my arguments and generate new questions and hypotheses. Their stories helped to vivify the books subject matter.
I also want to thank the staff of the Perseu Abramo Foundation (FPA) in So Paulo. I spent months at FPA, combing through thousands of documents related to the early development of Brazils Workers Party (PT). FPA staff members provided me with a treasure trove of pamphlets, manuals, and campaign advertisements. Through conversation, they taught me about Brazilian politics and the PTs internal ideological divisions.
Some of the books figures, tables, and text first appearedin identical or similar formin earlier articles and book chapters. The overlapping content is reprinted here with the publishers permission. All specific self-citations appear in the footnotes of the main text. I want to thank the roughly two dozen individuals who anonymously reviewed my article and chapter manuscripts. Their input forced me to refine and expand my theoretical arguments and empirical claims.
In closing, I want to thank my friends and family for bringing me joy, laughter, and love. I especially want to thank my brother Chris for his kindness; my brother Collin for his dependability and humor; my brother Dane for seeing the best in me; my sister Greer for her commitment to family; my parents for their decades of unconditional devotion; and Kelsie, my ray of sunshine, for her calming presence and beautiful heart. This book is for all of them.
