The CSI was designed and coordinated worldwide by CIVICUS: World Alliance for Citizen Participation. In Argentina, the project was carried out by the Social and Institutional Analysis and Development Group (GADIS) and the Sociology Department at the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina (UCA).

Decade after decade, the universe consisting of NGOs, territorial organisations, corporate foundations and other institutional entities is increasing in size and diversification as more and more people become involved and the linkages with other sectors are reinforced. However, most countries have a limited systematic knowledge of the state of civil society, and there are few opportunities for all stakeholders to meet and discuss the challenges currently faced by the sector. In order to improve this situation, the CIVICUS Civil Society Index (CSI) is presented as an action-research project that attempts to evaluate the state of civil society in different countries throughout the world and foster initiatives that promote their development and impact. The design of the CSI research focuses the study on five specific aspects of civil society: (1) citizen participation and engagement, (2) institutional development of organisations, (3) values practiced and promoted by civil society, (4) perceived impact of actions, and (5) the political, economic and socio-cultural context in which civil society acts. For each of these aspects, the CSI surveys a broad source of information and uses an analytical tool common to all countries to enable international analysis and comparison. One of the most interesting features of the CSI is its participatory nature. Here, although the CSI is implemented by and for civil society organisations, it also actively involves a broad spectrum of government actors, the donor sector, the corporate sector, the media and academia. All of these sectors participated together with CSO members in the Argentine implementation, working in different instances involving consultation and exchange that included the creation of an Advisory Committee as well as holding a series of focus groups and a final National Workshop. In each of these spaces, the information surveyed by the research team could be discussed, amplified and, in the final stage, employed for the formulation of different strengthening proposals, all of which are accounted for in this document. In terms of contributions, the CSI analysed a significant volume of information on Argentine civil society. Additionally, the application of this innovative participatory process contributed multiple shades of meaning and perspectives to the study, which were integrated in a sort of ‘shared diagnosis’ of the main strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunities faced by the sector. It was particularly pleasing to participate in a process of interaction in which representatives from different fields could exchange thoughts and points of view, achieving convergences that often overcame sectoral, ideological and other kinds of differences. The environment of dialogue, cooperation and tolerance created among the participants is truly encouraging, as well as the interest among many to keep in touch and to continue moving forward towards the consolidation of a shared space for debate and action. Beatriz Balian Elida Cecconi Cristian Cao 6 Acknowledgements The focus and methodology of this latest edition of the CIVICUS Civil Society Index have been developed by CIVICUS: World Alliance for Citizen Participation ( www.civicus.org ), and by the Centre for Social Investment of Heidelberg University, Germany. The CIVICUS CSI team provided the methodological guidelines, trained the teams in all the countries that participated in this action-research experience and assisted and oriented them throughout the implementation process. We would especially like to acknowledge the interest and collabourative spirit of Amy Bartlett and Mariano De Donatis, coordinators for Latin America, as well as the technical assistance of Natalie Akstein, Tracy Anderson, Andrew Firmin, Olga Kononykhina, Jacob Mati and Mark Nowottny. This CSI project was carried out simultaneously in over 40 countries, six of which are in the Americas. From the beginning there was an excellent exchange of experiences, results and reflections with our colleagues in Chile, Mexico, Nicaragua, Uruguay and Venezuela, who contributed in different ways to the project’s activities and the analysis presented in this report. We are grateful for this shared experience and opportunity, as well as the collective desire among Latin American CSI implementing organisations to continue working together in future initiatives. Locally, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to the national Advisory Committee, which is composed of distinguished representatives from different sectors who worked so generously and efficiently on the project. The Committee provided stimulating support throughout all execution stages, providing enriching and diverse perspectives during the initial methodological enquiries and the analysis and interpretation of results. The deployment of the methodological process involved over 400 people from civil society organisations and other sectors, who expressed their interest in contributing to a better knowledge of the Argentine civil society and who placed their trust in the organising institutions. Our special thanks go to all of them, who shared their day-to-day knowledge of Argentine organisations and who contributed to the identification of some diagnostic elements, challenges and proposals for the future. Also, we would like to acknowledge the excellent group of collaborators who, in many different ways, contributed with their time and expertise for the implementation of all activities involved in the project, ranging from surveys and focus groups to the special studies and the National Workshop. Finally, we would especially like to thank all the organisations that supported the project and enabled its execution, including: the Provincial Bureau of Relations with the Community of the Province of Buenos Aires, where we had the continual support of Mr Nicolás Milazzo and his team; the Bureau of Institutional Relationships and the Deliberating Council of the city of Neuquén, where Mr Gonzalo Echegaray and Mr Mario Meuli performed excellent work; and the Spanish Agency of International Cooperation for Development (AECID), through its Technical Office in Argentina, especially the cordiality and understanding of Ms Eva Álvarez and her team. 7 Table of Contents Contact details and personnel 1 Foreword 3 Acknowledgements 4 Table of contents 5 List of tables and figures 7 List of acronyms 9 Executive summary 10 I Introduction: the Civil Society Index Project 12 1 Project background 12 2 Project approach 13 3 CSI

  • Celebrar Y Gobernar: Un Estudio De Las Fiestas Cívicas En Buenos Airses
    Celebrar y gobernar: un estudio de las fiestas cívicas en Buenos Aires, 1810-1835 María Lía Munilla Lacasa Capítulo I Conformación de una tradición festiva revolucionaria: las fiestas Mayas y Julias Las fiestas y celebraciones han sido desde siempre una parte importante de la vida cotidiana de prácticamente toda sociedad. Desde el Renacimiento en adelante, la injerencia del poder político o religioso en la organización de las ceremonias públicas se hizo cada vez más presente, pues las fiestas de las grandes cortes europeas –civiles o religiosas- eran maquinarias espectaculares donde se daban cita representaciones utópicas tanto de la vida política y social, como de la organización del tiempo y de la ciudad.1 Con el advenimiento de los procesos revolucionarios de la Edad Moderna -la revolución americana de 1776 y la francesa de 1789, entre las más importantes-, las fiestas organizadas en conmemoración de la ruptura con los sistemas políticos previos, coloniales unos, regios los otros, adquirieron un matiz propagandístico nuevo, centrado en la difusión de los valores e ideas forjados al calor de la desintegración del Antiguo Régimen. En parte por un genuino entusiasmo popular hacia el nuevo orden de cosas, en parte debido a la manipulación ejercida por las autoridades, estas celebraciones se fueron instalando definitivamente en la vida comunitaria y contribuyeron de manera decisiva en los procesos de formación de las naciones modernas. En el caso de la América hispánica, el proceso revolucionario abierto en 1808 a partir de la crisis de la monarquía española, trazó un complejo panorama cuyos múltiples aspectos han sido problematizados desde diversas perspectivas historiográficas por investigaciones recientes.2 En este contexto de revisión del proceso independentista 1 Fagiolo Dell'Arco, M.; Carandini, S., L'effimero Barocco, op.

  • Popular, Elite and Mass Culture? the Spanish Zarzuela in Buenos Aires, 1890-1900
    Popular, Elite and Mass Culture? The Spanish Zarzuela in Buenos Aires, 1890-1900 Kristen McCleary University of California, Los Angeles ecent works by historians of Latin American popular culture have focused on attempts by the elite classes to control, educate, or sophisticate the popular classes by defining their leisure time activities. Many of these studies take an "event-driven" approach to studying culture and tend to focus on public celebrations and rituals, such as festivals and parades, sporting events, and even funerals. A second trend has been for scholars to mine the rich cache of urban regulations during both the colonial and national eras in an attempt to mea- sure elite attitudes towards popular class activities. For example, Juan Pedro Viqueira Alban in Propriety and Permissiveness in Bourbon Mexico eloquently shows how the rules enacted from above tell more about the attitudes and beliefs of the elites than they do about those they would attempt to regulate. A third approach has been to examine the construction of national identity. Here scholarship explores the evolution of cultural practices, like the tango and samba, that developed in the popular sectors of society and eventually became co-opted and "sanitized" by the elites, who then claimed these activities as symbols of national identity.' The defining characteristic of recent popular culture studies is that they focus on popular culture as arising in opposition to elite culture and do not consider areas where elite and popular culture overlap. This approach is clearly relevant to his- torical studies that focus on those Latin American countries where a small group of elites rule over large predominantly rural and indigenous populations.

  • The Transformation of Party-Union Linkages in Argentine Peronism, 1983–1999*
    FROM LABOR POLITICS TO MACHINE POLITICS: The Transformation of Party-Union Linkages in Argentine Peronism, 1983–1999* Steven Levitsky Harvard University Abstract: The Argentine (Peronist) Justicialista Party (PJ)** underwent a far- reaching coalitional transformation during the 1980s and 1990s. Party reformers dismantled Peronism’s traditional mechanisms of labor participation, and clientelist networks replaced unions as the primary linkage to the working and lower classes. By the early 1990s, the PJ had transformed from a labor-dominated party into a machine party in which unions were relatively marginal actors. This process of de-unionization was critical to the PJ’s electoral and policy success during the presidency of Carlos Menem (1989–99). The erosion of union influ- ence facilitated efforts to attract middle-class votes and eliminated a key source of internal opposition to the government’s economic reforms. At the same time, the consolidation of clientelist networks helped the PJ maintain its traditional work- ing- and lower-class base in a context of economic crisis and neoliberal reform. This article argues that Peronism’s radical de-unionization was facilitated by the weakly institutionalized nature of its traditional party-union linkage. Although unions dominated the PJ in the early 1980s, the rules of the game governing their participation were always informal, fluid, and contested, leaving them vulner- able to internal changes in the distribution of power. Such a change occurred during the 1980s, when office-holding politicians used patronage resources to challenge labor’s privileged position in the party. When these politicians gained control of the party in 1987, Peronism’s weakly institutionalized mechanisms of union participation collapsed, paving the way for the consolidation of machine politics—and a steep decline in union influence—during the 1990s.

  • Argentina: from Kirchner to Kirchner
    ArgentinA: From Kirchner to Kirchner Steven Levitsky and María Victoria Murillo Steven Levitsky is professor of government at Harvard University. María Victoria Murillo is associate professor of political science and international affairs at Columbia University. Together they edited Ar- gentine Democracy: The Politics of Institutional Weakness (2005). Argentina’s 28 October 2007 presidential election contrasted sharply with the one that preceded it. The 2003 race took place in the after- math of an unprecedented economic collapse and the massive December 2001 protests that toppled two presidents in a span of ten days. That election—which was won by little-known (Peronist) Justicialist Party governor Néstor Kirchner—was held in a climate of political fragmenta- tion and uncertainty. Little uncertainty surrounded the 2007 campaign. After four years of strong economic growth, and with the opposition in shambles, a victory by the incumbent Peronists was a foregone conclu- sion. The only surprise was that Kirchner, who remained popular, chose not to seek reelection. Instead, his wife, Senator Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, ran in his place. Cristina Kirchner captured 45 percent of the vote, easily defeating Elisa Carrió of the left-of-center Civic Coalition (23 percent) and Kirch- ner’s former economics minister, Roberto Lavagna (17 percent), who was backed by the Radical Civic Union (UCR). In addition to winning more than three-quarters of Argentina’s 23 governorships, the Justicial- ist Party (PJ) and other pro-Kirchner allies won large majorities in both legislative chambers. In the Chamber of Deputies, the lower house of Argentina’s bicameral National Congress, progovernment Peronists and other Kirchner allies (including pro-Kirchner Radicals) won 160 of 257 seats, while dissident Peronists won another 10 seats.
