FEUDAL ARGENTINA: How enduring provincial caudillos undermine democracy and the rule of law - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The Americas today face a growing series of challenges to democratic government and the rule of law. Across the hemisphere, rising authoritarianism and weak institutions combine to create a complex web of corruption, impunity and abuses of democratic norms. Researchers have studied these authoritarian trends at the national and regional levels. This collaborative study led by IBI Consultants, in collaboration with Fidelem Security Advisers, looks at these challenges at a subnational level in Argentina, where provincial autonomy predominates.

The analysis of the interlocking networks of autonomous and semi-autonomous provincial governments, found that Caudillo governors ruling the provinces as personal survive for decades due to transactional relations with the national government. Even when there are external shocks to the system, the system survives. We examine three consolidated caudillo models and one that is far less consolidated but strategically important. We hope this expands the understanding of the ongoing struggle to consolidate democracy and rule of law in the region.
