Between autonomy and subordination: Governments and parliaments in local areas. The case of the Argentine province of Córdoba between 1890 and 1930

Abstract

My goal is to contribute to the analysis of the Argentine province of Córdoba, the discussion about the autonomy of the legislature with regard to governments in political systems based on electoral distortion or stages of transition towards more open systems and competitive. Accordingly, try to distinguish factors and changing circumstances that impact on the decisions of the parliamentary representatives. The period covered includes research from the first issue, from the revolution of 1890, the oligarchic regime in place in Argentina's presidential election after Julio A. Roca in 1880 until the political crisis in 1930 that ended the democratic experiment that began after the electoral reform, with the sanction of the law called Sáenz Peña, introduced in 1912 guarantees the competition through the introduction of electoral suffrage and secret mandatory, and the adoption of the standards as a military voter registration.
