    Este artículo se centra en la inclusividad y la centralización en la selección de candidatos utilizando datos de encuesta con muestras representativas de políticos electos a nivel nacional, regional y local en elecciones entre 2015 y 2018, y argumenta que existen estrategias de selección de candidatos basadas en las diferencias territoriales. Los análisis muestran que pueden coexistir diferentes estrategias de selección de candidatos en entornos multinivel, si bien la relación entre la descentralización territorial y las estrategias de selección de candidatos no es necesariamente aditiva. Las primarias son más comunes para seleccionar candidatos en cámaras regionales y locales, mientras que los candidatos a nivel nacional se seleccionan de forma tan descentralizada como en el nivel regional.

    Estos resultados respaldan la importancia de analizar los niveles territoriales para comprender las diferencias en las estrategias de selección.

    This article focuses on inclusivity and centralisation processes in political candidate selection, using survey data with representative samples of nationally, regionally and locally elected politicians in elections between 2015 and 2018. It argues that there are some candidate selection strategies that are based on territorial differences. The analysis shows that while different candidate selection strategies may coexist in multilevel environments, the relationship between territorial decentralisation and candidate selection strategies is not necessarily additive.

    Party primaries are more commonly used for selecting candidates in regional and local chambers, while the strategies used to select candidates at the national level are as decentralised as they are at the regional level. These results support the importance of analysing territorial levels in order to understand the differences in the use of selection strategies.
