LADB Article Id: 52610 ISSN: 1089-1560 New Victories for Kirchner by LADB Staff Category/Department: Argentina Published: 2003-09-19 With little more than 100 days in office, Argentine President Nestor Kirchner has new reasons to celebrate. He signed a deal with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), one day after failing to meet a payment, that most analysts saw as a coup for the president. And, his political strength has increased with the victory of candidates he endorsed in elections in several provinces and the city of Buenos Aires. Kirchner, who marked 100 days in office Sept. 1, has seemed a far cry from recent Argentine political leaders, whether on issues of IMF renegotiations, human rights, relations with the US, trade, or domestic policies. Kirchner continues to enjoy high public support. He has the most prestige of any president in recent years, and few people have much negative to say about him, said political consultant Enrique Zuleta Puceiro of the firm OPSM. In a recent OPSM poll, respondents gave Kirchner high marks for initiative, independence of criteria, and leadership, with percentages near 70%.

  • 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.

On 23 October 2011, Argentina’s Peronist president Cristina Fernán- dez de Kirchner of the Justicialist Party (PJ) overcame a bumpy first term and comfortably won reelection. She garnered an outright major- ity of 54.1 percent of the popular vote in the first round, besting her 2007 showing by roughly 9 percentage points and avoiding a runoff. Although most observers had expected her to win, the sweeping scale of her victory exceeded the expectations of both her administration and the fragmented opposition. In the most lopsided presidential result since 1928,1 she carried 23 of Argentina’s 24 provinces while her leading rival Hermes Binner, the Socialist governor of Santa Fe Province, collected only 16.8 percent of the national vote.

Many studies of federal countries have regarded governors as national veto players even though they do not have such a constitutional status. However, the statistical tests of comparative legislative studies and those of comparative federalism have not succeeded in showing gubernatorial effects on a national political arena. In this dissertation, I study the conditions under which governors can be national veto players by focusing on the treatment of presidential bills between 1983 and 2007 in the Argentine Senate. The dissertation shows that the Senate serves as an arena for subnational governments to influence national politics.

    Argentina: Background and U.S. Relations Mark P. Sullivan Specialist in Latin American Affairs Rebecca M. Nelson Specialist in International Trade and Finance December 9, 2014 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 around 41 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, was first elected in 2007 (succeeding her husband, Néstor Kirchner, who served one term) and is now approaching the final year 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, scheduled for October 2015. The presidential race is well underway with several candidates leading opinion polls, including two from the Peronist party. 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. In 2001-2002, a severe economic crisis precipitated by unsustainable debt led to the government defaulting on nearly $100 billion in foreign debt owed to private creditors, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and foreign governments. Subsequent Argentine administrations resolved more than 90% of the country’s debt owed to private creditors through two debt restructurings offered in 2005 and 2010; repaid debt owed to the IMF in 2006; and, in May 2014, reached an agreement to repay foreign governments.

  • 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.

  • Argentina After the Elections1
    28 KAS INTERNATIONAL REPORTS 1|2012 ArgentinA After 1 the elections President Kirchner embArKs on her second term of office with A strengthened mAndAte Dr. Bernd Löhmann is Bernd Löhmann Resident Represen- tative of the Konrad- Adenauer-Stiftung in Argentina. With the country-wide primaries on 14 August 2011 and the general election on 23 October, Argentine president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner has in effect been twice confirmed in office. She was re-elected with around 54 per cent of the votes cast. In the concurrent congres- sional elections, at which half the seats in the Chamber of Deputies and a third of the seats in the Senate were up for renewal, the Peronist election platform “Frente para la Victoria” (FPV) that backs her also emerged victorious. The FPV, with the parties allied to it, has thus regained the majority in both houses. In addition, governors and parlia- ments were elected in most provinces. In almost all cases the winners were forces allied to the national government; only in three of the 24 federal units are parties openly opposed to the FPV. Cristina Fernández de Kirchner’s victory has been aptly described as a “tsunami”. Boosted by the outcome of two elections, the President now wields far more political weight than any of her predecessors since Argentina’s return to democracy. Even her husband, who was president of Argentina from 2003 until 2007 and was regarded until his death in October 2010 as the real leader of Argentine politics, was never able to rely on such a broad legitimation and power base.

Elle le fait par le dialogue au sein de deux grands corps de littérature intimement liés, la citoyenneté et le transnationalisme, qui se sont penchés sur les questions d’appartenance, d’exclusion, de mobilité et d’accès aux droits chez les migrants transnationaux tout en soulignant la capacité accrue de l’Etat à réguler à la fois les déplacements de personnes et l’accès des migrants aux droits. Cette thèse remet en question trois principes qui influencent la recherche et les programmes d’action publique ayant trait au transnationalisme et à la citoyenneté des migrants, et remet en cause les approches analytiques hégémoniques et méthodologiques qui les sous-tendent.

  • Police, Politicians and the Regulation of Drug Trafficking in Latin America
    Police, Politicians and the Regulation of Drug Trafficking in Latin America By Hernan Flom A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy in Political Science in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Alison E. Post (Co-chair) Professor Leonardo R. Arriola (Co-chair) Professor Ruth Berins Collier Professor Jonathan Simon Summer 2016 Copyright 2016 Abstract How do states regulate drug trafficking? The sale of illicit drugs generates an estimated US$870 billion per year – more than 1 percent of global GDP. At the same time, hundreds of thousands of people die annually from drug-related violence and ensuing state repression. While national-level governments establish the normative framework regarding drug trafficking, subnational governments carry out the lion’s share of drug enforcement, confiscating drugs, arresting (or killing) dealers and traffickers, or brokering peace bargains with, or extracting rents from drug gangs. Despite the recent immersion of political scientists into the study of drug trafficking, we have yet to explain how and why subnational governments choose the strategies they do when dealing with this organized criminal activity. This dissertation analyzes subnational states’ different approaches to drug trafficking, or drug trafficking regulatory arrangements. Most studies of drug trafficking and its associated violence treat the state as a unitary actor and neglect the role of the police, despite the latter’s fundamental importance (and discretion) in enforcing legislation related to drug trafficking and organized crime. By contrast, I propose that different types of interactions between subnational politicians, primarily governors, and their police forces influence state responses to drug trafficking, with differing consequences with respect to state and criminal violence as well as police corruption.
