Peronism Without Perón: Unions, Parties, and Democracy in Argentina

by James L. McGuire

Book Overview

Peronism, the Argentine political movement created by Juan Per n in the 1940's, has revolved since its inception around a personalistic leader, a set of powerful trade unions, and a weakly institutionalized political party. This book examines why Peronism continued to be weakly institutionalized as a party after Per n was overthrown in 1955 and argues that this weakness has impeded the consolidation of Argentine democracy.
