Machiavellian analysis of Dominican political leadership

Overview

An analysis of Dominican political leadership examines the role of appearance, power, and perception through a Machiavellian lens. The study notes that a leader’s perception, constructed via symbols and narratives, is as vital as their actual qualities.

Historically, Dominican leaders such as Juan Bosch, Joaquín Balaguer, and José Francisco Peña Gómez connected with the electorate through large party organizations, territorial structures, and traditional media like radio and television. While these figures managed their public images through rallies and public speaking, the tools and rhythms of political communication have since undergone significant shifts.
