  • Crisis, Boom, and the Restructuring of the Argentine Party System (1999-2015)
    Crisis, Boom, and the Restructuring of the Argentine Party System (1999-2015) María Victoria Murillo and Steven Levitsky Mauricio Marci’s victory in Argentina’s 2015 presidential election was, in many senses, historic. Macri, the former mayor of the City of Buenos Aires and founder of the center-right Republican Proposal (PRO), was the first right wing candidate—and the first candidate not from the (Peronist) Justicialista Party (PJ) or the Radical Civic Union (UCR)--ever to win a democratic presidential election in Argentina. From a regional perspective, Macri’s victory suggested that Latin America’s so-called Left Turn—the extraordinary wave of left-of-center governments that began with Hugo Chávez’s 1998 election in Venezuela and swept across Chile (2000, 2006, 2014), Brazil (2002, 2006, 2010, 2014), Argentina (2003, 2007, 2011), Uruguay (2004, 2009, 2014), Bolivia (2005, 2009, 2014), Ecuador (2006, 2009, 2013), Nicaragua (2006, 2011), Guatemala (2008), Paraguay (2008), El Salvador (2009, 2014), and Costa Rica (2014)— was ending. Indeed, some observers pointed to Macri’s election as the beginning of a “Right Turn” in the region. This chapter suggests that although Macri’s surprising victory may be part of a broader regional turn, it is better understood as an “anti-incumbent turn” than as a turn to the Right. It argues that this shift was driven primarily by economic conditions, particularly the end of the 2002-2014 commodities boom.1 The Latin American Left, including Peronist Presidents Nestor and Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, had benefited from global economic conditions in two 1 Building on the existing literature on economic voting in Latin America, Murillo and Visconti (2016) show the impact of economic conditions—including growth, inflation, and reserve levels—on changes in support for incumbent parties in Latin America since the transition to democracy.

Nelson Specialist in International Trade and Finance August 11, 2015 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R43816 Argentina: Background and U.S. Relations Summary Argentina, a South American country with a population of almost 42 million, has had a vibrant democratic tradition since its military relinquished power in 1983. Current President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, from a center-left faction of the Peronist party, the Front for Victory (FPV), was first elected in 2007 (succeeding her husband, Néstor Kirchner, who served one term) and is now in the final months of her second term. Argentina’s constitution does not allow for more than two successive terms, so President Fernández is ineligible to run in the next presidential election, with a first round scheduled for October 25, 2015. Eleven candidates competed in an August 9, 2015, combined open primary for electoral alliances, and three top candidates emerged: Daniel Scioli, governor of Buenos Aires province under the banner of President Fernández’s FPV; Mauricio Macri, mayor of Buenos Aires, heading the Let’s Change coalition that includes center-right and center-left opposition parties; and Sergio Massa, a deputy in Argentina’s Congress, who heads a centrist dissident Peronist faction known as United for a New Alternative. Argentina has Latin America’s third-largest economy and is endowed with vast natural resources. Agriculture has traditionally been a main economic driver, but the country also has a diversified industrial base and a highly educated population.

    Master Pages ONE Toward a Theory of Campaigns and Voters in Developing Democracies Noam Lupu, Virginia Oliveros, and Luis Schiumerini When Argentina’s 2015 presidential election went to a runoff, the incumbent party’s Daniel Scioli and the opposition’s Mauricio Macri faced off in a live, televised debate. The organizers delineated four specific topics to discuss: economic and human development, education, security and human rights, and strengthening democracy. But neither candidate said much about any of these issues. Macri refused to take specific positions on major issues like how he would address inflation, what he would do about the exchange rate, and whether he would renegotiate Argentina’s outstanding debts. Just as he did on the stump, he spoke of optimism, hope, teamwork, and change. Scioli depicted the prospect of a Macri administration as a return to the economic policies of the 1990s, associated in the minds of Argentines with unemploy- ment, inequality, and corruption. He portrayed himself as the protector of average Argentines and Macri as the harbinger of economic hardship. But Scioli too failed to articulate concrete policy proposals. Argentine elections epitomize a more general gulf between the ideal model of democracy and how democracy works in the developing world. Political scientists often assume that voters choose the candidate who promises the policies they prefer. But it was hard to know what policies either candidate was offering Argentines in 2015. Lupu.indd 1 9/13/2018 11:04:43 AM Master Pages 2 Campaigns and Voters in Developing Democracies Free and fair elections are a necessary condition for democracy, but they are insufficient for bringing about meaningful political representa- tion.

When Argentines went to the polls on 25 October 2015, they set up a first in their country’s political history. Never before had there been a presidential runoff (required if no candidate receives 45 percent of the valid votes in the first round), but there would be one in 2015. The Peronist governor of Buenos Aires Province, Daniel Scioli, was the top vote-getter with 37 percent, but closely trailing him was City of Buenos Aires mayor Mauricio Macri with 34 percent. A third major candidate, Sergio Massa, played the spoiler with 21 percent.
