Peronism & Democracy - summary and conclusions
2016
Introduction, problem formulation and research objectives The main aim of this thesis is to examine the relationship between Peronism and democracy. Of course, the selection of this topic is not casual. From our point of view the difficulties encountered by the democratic system and the career of this political party constitute the two principal plots of recent Argentinean history. From 1930 to 1976 this country experienced six coups d'état lead by the Armed Forces that debilitated the legitimacy and power of the civil governments of these decades and created a lack of faith in democracy in society. Obviously, that caused enormous instability in the political system and a chronic reduction in the quality of democracy. Peronism has also influenced Argentinean political life from its beginnings in the 40s. Only taking into account the period between 1946 and 1999, Justicialism ruled the country for almost a quarter of a century. Even during the 18 years, from 1955 to 1973, when it was banned for any political activity its presence and prominence was undeniable as the main political movement in the country. For this reason, it is not strange that a myth about the electoral invincibility of Peronism was created and that this party was the embodiment of the popular majority. At the same time, the long trajectory followed by Justicialism resulted in this party adopting different ideologies, from populism to neoliberalism and even revolutionary left, and this has increased the academic fascination for this movement.

Wallberg who has made time to patiently read all my drafts in detail, always making relevant observations which have helped me improve my interpretation of the historic and political events. I must also express my appreciation to Daniela Piloni Durand who has made an outstanding job recommending me how to improve the stile and the prose of the thesis. Last, but not least, to successfully cope with the demanding work of a thesis, one needs an understanding and loving family. I could not have been luckier in this respect. My parents have been confident on my abilities, even when I was not, and my wife, Rosana Córdova, together with my son, Leandro, have been my absolute affective support, my compass and most vital motivation during many stressful moments. They are the engine behind the effort I make to achieve my dreams. My most profound gratitude to you too. Chapter 1 Perón´s Economic and Social Policies.

Peronism as a Source of Legitimacy of Argentinian Presidents
Peronism developed in the last sixty years from the semi-authoritarian political strategy into a democratic doctrine of ruling political party. Since the first president Juan Perón, Argentinian society became divided into two groups: Peronists and anti-peronists. Politicians, writers, social scientists or social workers all became involved with the Peronist ideology until the present. As a political ideology, Peronism is very vague. The basic framework of the movement was shaped by Perón himself. He also designed the political strategies in the book Conducción Política , based on the lectures of Perón given to the students of Peronist school. One of the principal claims of Peronism is: We want Argentina which is socially just, economically free, and politically independent 1 (Las 20 Verdades Peronistas).
