However, far from that the former President is returning to the electoral fray in which she has a chance of winning. In this Developing Ideas report we try to explain why she is standing, how she will manage to maintain the high levels of popularity that could allow her to win and what consequences her standing has for new investment. 2 WHY CRISTINA KIRCHNER IS CANDIDATE AND COULD WIN 2.

    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.

  • Argentina's 2015 Presidential Election
    CRS INSIGHT Argentina's 2015 Presidential Election October 26, 2015 (IN10378) | Related Author Mark P. Sullivan | Mark P. Sullivan, Specialist in Latin American Affairs ([email protected], 7-7689) Argentines went to the polls on October 25, 2015, to vote in the first round of a presidential race to succeed President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, who hails from the Peronist party's leftist faction known as the Front of Victory (FPV). The close results set up a second round on November 22, 2015, between Daniel Scioli, governor of Buenos Aires province running under the banner of President Fernández's FPV, and Mauricio Macri, mayor of Buenos Aires, heading the Let's Change coalition that includes center-right and center-left opposition parties. In the first round, with 97% of the votes counted, Scioli received 36.86% of the vote, Macri received 34.33%, and Sergio Massa, a deputy in Argentina's Congress who heads a centrist dissident Peronist faction known as United for a New Alternative (UNA), received 21.34%. A second round is required since no candidate received 45% of the vote or 40% of the vote with a 10- point lead. The contest is significant since it is the first time in 12 years that a Kirchner will not be president. Fernández is serving her second term since 2007, when she succeeded her husband, the late Néstor Kirchner, who served one term beginning in 2003. Fernández is ineligible to run for a third consecutive term, although she would be eligible to run again in 2019. Going into the first round, many observers believed that any of the leading candidates for president would espouse more market-friendly policies than those of the current government, which include currency and price controls and import restrictions.

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.

    Argentina: Peronism Returns María Victoria Murillo, S.J. Rodrigo Zarazaga Journal of Democracy, Volume 31, Number 2, April 2020, pp. 125-136 (Article) Published by Johns Hopkins University Press For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/753199 [ Access provided at 9 Apr 2020 16:36 GMT with no institutional affiliation ] ARGENTINA: PERONISM RETURNS María Victoria Murillo and Rodrigo Zarazaga, S.J. María Victoria Murillo is professor of political science and interna- tional and public affairs and director of the Institute of Latin American Studies at Columbia University. Rodrigo Zarazaga, S.J., is director of the Center for Research and Social Action (CIAS) and researcher at the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET) in Buenos Aires. The headline news, the main takeaway, from Argentina’s 2019 gen- eral election is encouraging for democracy despite the dire economic situation. Mauricio Macri, a president not associated with the country’s powerful Peronist movement, became the first such chief executive to complete his mandate, whereas two non-Peronists before him had failed to do so.1 Macri would not repeat his term, however. He lost the 27 October 2019 election and then oversaw a peaceful handover of power to his Peronist rival, Alberto Fernández, who won by 48 to 40 percent and whose vice-president is former two-term president Cristina Fernán- dez de Kirchner (no relation). Strikingly, even the economic hard times gripping the country—they are the worst in two decades, and they sank Macri at the polls—could not ruffle the orderliness of the transition. Peaceful changes of administration tend to be taken for granted in democracies, but they are in fact major achievements anywhere.

  • Briefing European Parliamentary Research Service
    At a glance September 2015 Argentina: Political parties and the EU Argentina's presidential elections are scheduled for October 2015 and, according to the country's Constitution, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner is not entitled to run for a third consecutive term. As regards alternative candidates, the political landscape remains polarised after the primary elections. Argentina has a multi-party political system; however, election results demonstrate that it is, in practical terms, bipartisan. The Peronists, represented by the Justicialist Party (PJ), and the radicals, represented by the Civic Radical Union (UCR), effectively alternate in power. Argentinian political decision-making is opaque, complex and volatile. Parties play for power in changing coalitions, splits and mergers, which lead to a constantly changing political landscape of alliances. Political and Electoral System The Constitution of Argentina dates back to 1853. It remained in force under the various military regimes, with the exception of the Peronist constitutional period between 1949 and 1956. Over the years, it has been subject to a number of amendments, the most important in 1953, and recently in 1994. Argentina is a federal republic with division of powers. The executive is currently represented by the President, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, from the centre-left Peronist faction, Front For Victory (FPV), which belongs to the Justicialist Party. The President is elected for a four-year term with the possibility of being re-elected for only one consecutive term. Elections take place in two rounds. To be directly elected in the first round, the candidate needs to obtain 45% of the votes cast, or 40% and be 11% ahead of the second candidate.
