Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Little is known about the people who hold cabinet ministry posts in Latin America. This paper is a preliminary study of this topic, using an original dataset of cabinet minister bio information from Argentina, Chile, Colombia, and Costa Rica, and comparable data about cabinet secretaries in the United States. First we describe the education, occupation, and party activism backgrounds of ministers to characterize what types of people become cabinet members in these countries. We then test hypotheses about differences between initial and replacement ministers and between ministers who hold inner and outer cabinet posts. While overall we find that ministers are well educated and typically have education or work experience related to their portfolio, we find differences across countries and across portfolios, particularly in the extent of their qualifications. There are also differences between Latin America and the U.S. in the backgrounds and credentials of ministers holding inner and outer cabinet posts.
