Bureaucratic Authoritarianism

Bureaucratic Authoritarianism: Argentina 1966-1973 in Comparative Perspective. Berkeley: University of California Press, c1988 1988. Preface This book presents the findings of an empirical investigation into the political and economic processes in Argentina between June 1966 and March 1973. By interpreting these processes through concepts whose theoretical status is made explicit at the outset, and by comparing this case to analogous ones—Brazil after 1964, Uruguay and Chile after 1973, and Argentina (again) after 1976—the book is intended to advance the understanding of what I have termed the bureaucratic-authoritarian (BA) state, and on the basis of this understanding to analyze and critique the characteristics and consequences of this form of rule.

Revolución Argentina (Argentine Revolution) was the name given by its leaders to a military coup which overthrew the government of Argentina in June 1966, and to a period of military dictatorship by a military junta from then until 1973.

Argentine Revolution

The Revolución Argentina and the "authoritarian-bureaucratic state"[edit] Onganía's rule (1966–70)[edit] Cultural and education policies[edit] Onganía's rule signified an end to university autonomy, which had been achieved by the University Reform of 1918.[2] He was responsible for the July 1966 La Noche de los Bastones Largos ("The Night of the Long Truncheons"), where university autonomy was violated, in which he ordered police to invade the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Buenos Aires.

Onganía also ordered repression on all forms of "immoralism", proscribing miniskirts, long hair for young men, and all avant-garde artistic movements.[2] This moral campaign alienated the middle classes, who were massively present in universities.[2] See also[edit] History of Argentina. Peronism. Peronism (Spanish: Peronismo), or Justicialism (Justicialismo), is an Argentine political movement based on the legacy of former President Juan Domingo Perón and his second wife, Eva Perón.

Peronism

The party, the Justicialist Party (Partido Justicialista), derived its name from the Spanish words for "social justice" (justicia social). The pillars of the Peronist ideal, known as the "three flags", are social justice, economic independence, and political sovereignty. Peronism can be described as a third position ideology, as it rejects the extremes of capitalism and communism. Peronism espouses corporatism and thus aims to mediate tensions between the classes of society, with the state responsible for negotiating compromise in conflicts between managers and workers. It is, however, a generally ill-defined ideology; different, and sometimes contradictory sentiments are expressed in the name of Peronism.

From the perspective of opponents, Peronism is an authoritarian ideology. Perón's policies[edit] Key titles in Latin American Newspapers, Series 2, 1822-1922.
