This study analyzed the incidence of having a political system, president organizational behavoir and institutional design on configuring common features in Latin America. There were three intitutional designs. The first model characterized by countries that have achieved a high level of institutional formality, combining low centrality and high levels of expertise (Mexico and Brazil).
