  • El Gabinete De Macri
    El Gabinete de Macri Equipo de trabajo: Ana Rameri Agustina Haimovich Alejandro Yoel Ventura Responsable General: Ana Rameri Coordinación: Claudio Lozano Tomás Raffo Diciembre 2015 1 El gabinete de Macri es la muestra más evidente del desembarco del gran empresariado en el gobierno. Si bien actualmente existe discusión en torno al tipo de vínculo que debe establecerse entre los funcionarios del Estado con el sector empresario para favorecer un sendero de desarrollo, hay un consenso bastante amplio acerca de los riesgos que para el desarrollo económico, para la inclusión social y para la democratización de la vida política que implica la colonización por parte de las fracciones del capital concentrado del aparato estatal. La historia argentina tiene pruebas suficientes acerca de la existencia de estos nexos estrechos y las implicancias nocivas que tienen para el desarrollo y el bienestar del pueblo. El enraizamiento del sector privado sobe el aparato del Estado tiene un denominador común que atraviesa históricamente los distintos ciclos de acumulación y que se trata del afán de la burguesía local por la obtención de rentas de privilegio, (muy alejadas de lo que en la literatura económica se conoce como las rentas tecnológicas schumpeterianas de carácter transitorias), y más asociadas al carácter parasitario de corporaciones empresarias que se expanden al calor de los recursos públicos y la protección del estado. Los aceitados vínculos entre las fracciones concentradas del capital y los militares del último gobierno de facto posibilitaron el surgimiento de lo que se conoció como la “Patria Contratista” que derivó en espacios privilegiados para la acumulación de capital.

  • El Perfil Del Ministerio De Educación Y Deportes De La Nación Durante La Gestión De Esteban Bullrich (2015-2017)
    Informe de Investigación Nº 4 Entre la “agencia de evaluación” y la “gerencia de recursos humanos”. El perfil del Ministerio de Educación y Deportes de la Nación durante la gestión de Esteban Bullrich (2015-2017) Por Manuel Becerra Noviembre 2017 La asunción de Mauricio Macri a la presidencia de la Nación no trajo aparejada grandes novedades respecto de la conformación de su gabinete educativo. Durante la campaña ya se había anunciado que, al menos en la primera y algunas de las segundas líneas del organigrama ministerial, vendrían “importadas” de la gestión en el Ministerio de Educación de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires. No obstante, en función de las diferencias específicas que tienen la gestión administrativa del Ministerio de Educación de la Nación –al que se le agregó el área de “Deportes”1– respecto de los ministerios de educación de las provincias y, más aún, de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, dispararon dudas respecto de cuáles serían las políticas públicas a implementar. Así, sehacía difícil prever qué línea seguiría la gestión del flamante ministro Esteban 1 Decreto presidencial 13/2015 del 10 de diciembre de 2015. 1 Bullrich, en función de que las administraciones educativas jurisdiccionales difícilmente son trasladables a nivel nacional.2 1. Los antecedentes: estructura del sistema educativo nacional y políticas centrales de la administración kirchnerista. Para poder comprender las políticas educativas de la Alianza Cambiemos es necesario realizar un análisis de la estructura del sistema educativo y de las políticas desplegadas en los años previos, ya que durante el kirchnerismo fue sancionada una batería de leyes educativas que permitió configurar un nuevo escenario en el sistema educativo3.

La llegada de un nuevo Presidente, que no es ni peronista ni radical, abre la posibilidad de un cambio en el sistema político argentino. En este artículo repasamos las principales tendencias observadas en las elecciones de 2015, analizando datos a nivel nacional, provincial y municipal como así también el contexto económico en el que se dieron los comicios y los desafíos que genera para el próximo gobierno. Finalmente, nos enfocamos en la derrota del peronismo en la provincia de Buenos Aires tras veintiocho años de gobierno hegemónico para ejemplificar el carácter estratégico de los votantes argentinos.

  • Encuesta De Satisfacción Política Y Opinión Pública
    Encuesta de Satisfacción Política y Opinión Pública #ESPOP Abril 2018 1 Metodología • Estos son hallazgos de la encuesta de satisfacción política y opinion pública de la Universidad de San Andrés. En total fueron realizadas 1004 entrevistas entre el 16 y el 23 de Abril de 2018 a adultos de 18-64 años conectados a internet, en Argentina. • La encuesta se realiza en 23 provincias y la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires vía el Panel online de Netquest. La muestra es proporcional al tamaño de las provincias (con algunos ajustes para garantizar base de lectura) y representativa a nivel de las regiones. Las provincias fueron agrupadas en 5 regiones: NOA, NEA, Cuyo, Centro, Patagonia, y Buenos Aires dividida a su vez en CABA, GBA e interior de la Provincia de Buenos Aires. Se aplicaron cuotas de sexo, edad y nivel socioeconómico. • La encuesta versa sobre satisfacción con el desempeño de los poderes políticos y las políticas públicas y sobre la opinion respecto de los principals líderes politicos nacionales, grupos y sectores, ministros y gobernadores. Algunas preguntas siguen una serie de tiempo basada en la encuesta de Indicadores de Satisfacción Política Institucional (ISPI) realizada por la Universidad de San Andrés e Ipsos de Marzo de 2016 a Mayo de 2017. En la presente investigación se modificaron las escalas numéricas de satisfacción y opinion (antes de 1-10) por escalasordinales de 4 categorías (dos positivas y dos negativas). Los valores de las series de tiempo fueron recategorizados para ser comparabales con las nuevas mediciones. • Cuando los resultados no sumen 100, eso puede deberse a redondeos computacionales,, respuestas múltiples o la exclusión de los que no saben o no contestan.

  • Centro Estratégico Latinoamericano De Geopolítica Informe Apuntes
    Centro Estratégico Latinoamericano de Geopolítica Informe Apuntes sobre el gabinete económico de Mauricio Macri Por Agustín Lewit y Silvina M. Romano Tal como se esperaba, el gabinete de ministros que acompañará a Mauricio Macri en su presidencia tiene una fuerte impronta neoliberal, pro-mercado y empresarial. Previo a la asunción formal, varios de los ministros realizaron acciones que preanuncian lo que será el rumbo económico del gobierno entrante. Al respecto, alcanza con mencionar tres de ellas: 1) La conversación que mantuvo el flamante ministro de Hacienda argentino, Alfonso Prat-Gay, con el secretario del Tesoro estadounidense, Jacob Lew, al cual le adelantó las líneas macroeconómicas del futuro gobierno, antes de que el mismo las haga explícita en el propio país; 2) la reunión del flamante secretario de Finanzas de Argentina, Luis Caputo, con representantes de los fondos buitre para avanzar en un posible acuerdo entre las partes; y, 3) los anuncios de la flamante canciller argentina, Susana Malcorra respecto a que “el ALCA no es una mala palabra”, haciendo alusión a la posible futura firma de un TLC con EEUU. En líneas generales, una devaluación de la moneda, sumada a una mayor apertura comercial y a la toma de deuda son las coordenadas que marcarán el nuevo rumbo económico del país. Vale la pena recordar que la devaluación implica, básicamente, la licuación de los ingresos de los asalariados y una transferencia de riqueza hacia los sectores con capacidad para dolarizar sus activos, generalmente grande firmas locales y multinacionales. Esto ayuda a comprender en buena medida el grupo de gente seleccionada para los ministerios.

  • De Cliënt in Beeld
    Reforming the Rules of the Game Fransje Molenaar Fransje oftheGame theRules Reforming DE CLIËNTINBEELD Party law, or the legal regulation of political parties, has be- come a prominent feature of established and newly transi- tioned party systems alike. In many countries, it has become virtually impossible to organize elections without one party or another turning to the courts with complaints of one of its competitors having transgressed a party law. At the same Reforming the Rules of the Game time, it should be recognized that some party laws are de- signed to have a much larger political impact than others. Th e development and reform of party law in Latin America It remains unknown why some countries adopt party laws that have substantial implications for party politics while other countries’ legislative eff orts are of a very limited scope. Th is dissertation explores why diff erent party laws appear as they do. It builds a theoretical framework of party law reform that departs from the Latin American experience with regulating political parties. Latin America is not necessarily known for its strong party systems or party organizations. Th is raises the important ques- tion of why Latin American politicians turn to party law, and to political parties more generally, to structure political life. Using these questions as a heuristic tool, the dissertation advances the argument that party law reforms provide politicians with access to crucial party organizational resources needed to win elections and to legislate eff ectively. Extending this argument, the dissertation identifi es threats to party organizational resources as an important force shaping adopted party law reforms.
