Peronism back in power in Argentina: economic crisis and political stability

Abstract

Over the last years, some of the main countries in Latin America have undergone deep, sometimes unexpected political changes, without major effects on their economies. Political and institutional instability seems to be accompanied by economic stability. Nevertheless. Argentina shows great political and institutional stability coexisting with a more and more complex and unstable economic situation. The present article seeks explain this apparent paradox on the basis of the 2019 Peronist electoral decisions together with the history of the aforementioned political force.
