Periodize the democratic cycle

Notes for the study 40 years of democracy.

Abstract

The present work search to reflex about the longer democratic cycle to the Argentina’s history. For that we establish four periods for analyze: 1)1983-1990 democratic construction period, 2) 1991-2000 the 90 years, consolidation of the democracy and reforms, 3) 2001-2007 crisis and reconfiguration of the State and 4) 2007-actualitiy preeminence of the political. We are looking to analyze from the sociohistoric perspective ruptures and continuities about the changes that have occurred at the level of political representation throughout this democratic cycle. Especially we will reference to the metamorphosis process and the representation crisis with their consequents mutations principally in the political parties system, their relations with the economic crisis and the reactions of the social civility. In the odder hand, also we will study the political identities that were making in the period, their transformations and incidence into the political camp. In that way, we aspire to build a global vision of the historical cycle that help us to understand the evolution of argentine policy in the last decade. To this end, the main milestones since the democratic recovery are reviewed, examining the reconstruction of the party system, and then analyzing the crisis it has gone through these 40 years.
