Abstract

The current article develops on a research agenda that I formulated for the first time in a short text in 2004. Today, as the fourth and final year of the mandate of President Kirchner (who was sworn-in on May 25, 2003) draws to a close, it becomes possible and necessary to make an objective assessment of his administration. This is not only
justified by the need to understand the turbulent experience of Argentina in recent years, but also because kirchnerism is inserted in a much broader field of phenomena, which for a lack of a better word could be considered representative of the “turn to the left” within Latin American politics.
