El Trazado Ideal Y Los Condicionantes Naturales En El Desarrollo Urbano De La Plata
KEYWORDS: Urban history; nature; La Plata Vol. II, N ° 8 . P p61-70 . (05) EL TRAZADO IDEAL Y LOS CONDICIONANTES NATURALES EN EL DESARROLLO URBANO DE LA PLATA Gustavo Vallejo* Resumen El trazado urbano de La Plata, objeto hoy de gestiones dirigidas a declararlo Patrimonio de la Humanidad, como es sabido ofrece una abrumadora cantidad de certezas en relación a su origen, pudiendo reconocerse incluso cada una de las modificaciones seguidas en la etapa de proyectación tras producirse el encargo de Rocha al Departamento de Ingenieros de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, a través de la abundante cantidad de documentos cartográficos que trabajos históricos como los de Morosi (1983) y De Paula (1987) se encargaron de reunir. Sin embargo menos conocido resulta el modo en que, aquello que Martínez Estrada calificaría como un mero “espacio geométrico”, “la categoría apriorístiea de una serie de fenómenos” que debían aparecer para darle vida, se corporizó, superando la tensión implícita de un proceso que tiene a su racionalidad, imponiéndose o adaptándose a las características naturales del sitio en el que fue implantado. Abstract The urban trace of La Plata is actually objet of efforts to declare it Heritage of Humanity. It offers an overwhelming quantity of certainties in relation with their origin from the commission of Rocha to Dcpartamento de Ingenicros. On that trace we can recognize each one of the modifications that it suffered during the proyectacion stage in the abundant quantity of cartographic documents compiled by Morosi (1983) and De Paula (1987). However less, the form of corporization of that “geometric space” or “the aprioristic category of a series of phenomenons”, as Martinez Estrada said, is less known. -
Disrupting the Party: a Case Study of Ahora Madrid and Its Participatory Innovations
Disrupting the Party: A Case Study of Ahora Madrid and Its Participatory Innovations Quinton Mayne and Cecilia Nicolini September 2020 Disrupting the Party: A Case Study of Ahora Madrid and Its Participatory Innovations Quinton Mayne and Cecilia Nicolini September 2020 disrupting the party: A Case Study of Ahora Madrid and Its Participatory Innovations letter from the editor The Roy and Lila Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation advances excel- lence and innovation in governance and public policy through research, education, and public discussion. By training the very best leaders, developing powerful new ideas, and disseminating innovative solutions and institutional reforms, the Ash Center’s goal is to meet the profound challenges facing the world’s citizens. Our Occasional Papers Series highlights new research and commentary that we hope will engage our readers and prompt an energetic exchange of ideas in the public policy community. This paper is contributed by Quinton Mayne, Ford Foundation Associate Profes- sor of Public Policy at Harvard Kennedy School and an Ash Center faculty associate, and Cecilia Nicolini, a former Ash Center Research Fellow and a current advisor to the president of Argentina. The paper addresses issues that lie at the heart of the work of the Ash Center—urban governance, democratic deepening, participatory innova- tions, and civic technology. It does this through a study of the fascinating rise of Ahora Madrid, a progressive electoral alliance that—to the surprise of onlookers—managed to gain political control, just a few months after being formed, of the Spanish capital following the 2015 municipal elections. Headed by the unassuming figure of Manuela Carmena, a former judge, Ahora Madrid won voters over with a bold agenda that reimagined the relationship between citizens and city hall. -

TENSIONES Y TEMORES EN LA FRONTERA SUR DE BUENOS AIRES ANTES DEL ALZAMIENTO RURAL DE 1829.1 Raúl O. Fradkin* El 1º de diciembre de 1828 las fuerzas militares que regresaban de la guerra con el Imperio del Brasil comandadas por Juan Lavalle aliadas (e instigadas) por los unitarios depusieron al gobernador federal de Buenos Aires, Manuel Dorrego. Rápidamente se hicieron con el control de la ciudad y en una reducida asamblea designaron por aclamación a Lavalle como nuevo gobernador. Dorrego intentó reunió a las fuerzas leales entre las cuales se hallaban desertores del Ejército Republicano, buena parte de las milicias que obedecían al Comandante General Juan Manuel de Rosas, grupos de vecinos que se movilizaron en defensa del gobierno y algunos contingentes indígenas de las llamadas “tribus amigas” con quienes Rosas estaba armando una intensa y perdurable relación. El 9 de diciembre Dorrego fue derrotado por los insurrectos y poco después era apresado y fusilado sin juicio previo mientras sus fuerzas se dispersaban y Rosas se dirigía Santa Fe. -

Argentina's Delegative Democracy: a Case Study
ARGENTINA’S DELEGATIVE DEMOCRACY: A CASE STUDY A dissertation presented by Florencia Inés Gabriele to The Department of Political Science In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of Political Science Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts December 2013 1 ARGENTINA’S DELEGATIVE DEMOCRACY: A CASE STUDY by Florencia Ines Gabriele ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities of Northeastern University December, 2013 2 ABSTRACT This study analyses why Argentina remained an immature and underdeveloped delegative democracy rather than a fully-liberal democratic polity. Following the work of Guillermo O’Donnell this work explores the quality of, and serious deficiencies in, Argentina’s democracy. This work pays special attention to presidential use and misuse of Decrees of Necessity and Urgency by as a means to govern alone, thus bypassing Congress and how there is no existing check and balances in the government in this regard. Observing delegative democracies, this work also examines the following: the use of economic restrictions, use of policies such as nationalizations, privatizations, management of the federal budget, international relations of the country, restriction on the media, behavior of the judiciary branch, changes in the national constitution, and decreasing role of the Vice President. This work analyzes the relationship between democracy, decrees of necessity and urgency, laws sanctioned by Congress and inflation using transfer function models. Democracy is measured using the Polity IV dataset. There is a causal relationship among the explanatory variables (inputs) —the numbers of laws passed by Congress, inflation, and number of DNU — and Democracy (output). -
Origins and Development of the Executive Power in Post Independence Spanish America
Maria Victoria Crespo 11-29-2004 Janey Program Newsletter The Achilles Heel is in the Head: Origins and Development of the Executive Power in Post Independence Spanish America The Constitution, made inviolable in so ingenious a manner, was nevertheless, like Achilles, vulnerable in one point, not in the heel, but in the head, or rather in the two heads in which it wound up – the Legislative Assembly, on the one hand, the President, on the other. Marx, The Eighteenth Brumarie of Louis Bonaparte, 1852 All have noted with dismay the paradox of an executive having a superabundance of power coupled with extreme weakness. The executive has been unable to repel foreign invasion or suppress seditious plots except by resorting to dictatorship. The Constitution itself as if to correct its fault, goes to extremes in order to provide in profusion those powers which it jealously guards. Thus, the government of Colombia is a either a trickling fountain or a devastating torrent. Simón Bolivar, Message to the Congress of Ocaña, May 1, 1828 In this article I explore the origins and development of presidential government in Post Independence Spanish America. My main objective is to show that a descriptive analysis of the design of the executive power in the early constitutional experiments in Spanish America can illuminate our understanding of the repeated constitutional and state formation failures in the Post Independence period.1 I analyze the development of the executive power from the King to the president, and I describe the number of choices with which political elites experimented: from triumvirates, directories and Juntas, to supreme directors and pseudo-monarchical executives, as well as republican presidencies in weak and strong versions. -

12th EASA Biennial Conference Nanterre, France 10-13th July 2012 Uncertainty and disquiet Panel W076 Anxious sovereignties Convenors: Rebecca Bryant (LSE) and Jakob Rigi (CEU) Is federalism a threat to state sovereignty? The politics of new interprovincial regions in Argentina Julieta Gaztañaga (UBA/CONICET, Argentina) Introduction Federalism has been a powerful and quite controversial concept since the very origins of Argentine nation-state. From the bloody civil wars that followed the declaration of independence in the 19th century to the current macro-politics debates about federal taxes, federalism seems to be an omnipresent metaphor of the Argentine state imagination. Without a doubt, federalism is central to the imagination and realization of Argentine the Sate, for it connects in a symbolic and material form both past and present, and range of dramas and possibilities of the state's legitimacy and sovereignty. But federalism is also a political value that enacts specific –and sometimes controversial– policy making. In this paper I focus on the relations between federalism and state sovereignty, using my ethnographic research among politicians –mainly identified with Peronismo–1 and other social actors engaged with the creation and bolstering of a new region, the Central Region Centro of Argentina (RC)2. I’d like to show that most of the debates conveyed in terms of federalism are not about political organization neither about distribution of resources, but about an ongoing project of nation-state building, marked by a specific language of consensus/ confrontation rather than an ideology of integration/cohesion, regarding the process of transforming space into territory inherent to modern state. -

CAÍDA DE LA PRIMERA JUNTA Y FORMACIÓN DE LA JUNTA GRANDE. El sarao en el cuartel de Patricios (noche del 5 de diciembre). La noticia de Suipacha llegó a Buenos Aires el 2 de diciembre. No hubo iluminaciones ni festejos, quizá por la penuria del erario a causa de la guerra; si hubo alegría popular no se exteriorizó en las calles ni en la plaza de la Victoria. Tal vez este retraimiento se debía a la repulsa contra Moreno, salvo del grupo llamado el Club que se reunía habitualmente en el café de Marcos y aplaudía la política del secretario de la Junta. Moreno salía poco de su domicilio, apenas para ir y volver a la fortaleza. Sabiéndose odiado lo hacía con dos pistolas en el bolsillo y custodiado por un grupo de amigos, cuenta su hermano Manuel. Pero la noche del 5 hubo un sarao en el cuartel de las Temporalidades organizado por los oficiales de Patricios, que habría de tener una inesperada repercusión. Moreno, que no asistió, fue enterado por un escribiente de su secretaría que en la fiesta —conforme a la costumbre, y al reglamento interno de la Junta— se había dispuesto un lugar de honor a Saavedra y su esposa, doña Saturnina Otárola, y que un ebrio consuetudinario, el capitán retirado de Húsares Atanasio Duarte, había saludado a Saavedra y señora como los futuros monarcas de América. -
Media Coverage of Establishment and Non-Establishment Candidates in Argentina’S 2003 Presidential Election
MEDIA COVERAGE OF ESTABLISHMENT AND NON-ESTABLISHMENT CANDIDATES IN ARGENTINA’S 2003 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Karen J. Yang M.A. Political Science, M.A. Latin American Studies * * * * * The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Professor Anthony Mughan, Adviser Approved by Associate Professor Mark P. Jones Associate Professor Thomas E. Nelson Adviser Assistant Professor Sarah M. Brooks Political Science Graduate Program ABSTRACT In the aftermath of Argentina’s December 2001 financial meltdown, the political class was widely blamed for the crisis that transformed this once predominantly middle- class country into a poor one. However, when new presidential elections were held in April 2003, establishment candidates generally placed higher relative to non- establishment candidates. To account for this puzzling election outcome, I examine the role that Argentine centrist print media may have played through their coverage of establishment and non-establishment candidates. The research design involves content analysis of front-page news articles from large, centrist newspapers, Clarín and La Nación, over an eleven-month period. To analyze the data, I rely on count data and multi-linear graphs as well as correlation coefficients and tests of significance. Testing two hypotheses, namely media attention and framing, I find that establishment candidates received more media attention, and perhaps more name recognition, than did non-establishment candidates. I also find that centrist print media framed candidate strengths and weaknesses in particular ways. Establishment candidates were portrayed as having competency and electability as their strengths and integrity as their weakness. -
