The governability of the radical right in Argentina and the new profile of its political organizers

Abstract

This article analyzes the profile of the main political negotiators during the first year of Javier Milei’s administration in Argentina, and reconstructs the way in which his radical right-wing force built governability in a context of institutional weakness. It shows that atypical political elites, made up of outsiders, newcomers and “converts” deployed a dual strategy of discursive maximalism and political pragmatism to advance the presidential agenda in the heat of the crisis of the rest of the political parties.
