| | Print Article: Despite everything, Peronists keep a firm grip on power |
| | The Peronist party is fractured and for the first time it has not united behind a single presidential candidate. | | | Nearly 30 years after Peron's death, arguably his greatest legacy is a hulking party that has maintained an assiduous grip on power through populism, an entrenched system of political patronage and a monopoly on the social welfare system. | | | Ricardo Lopez Murphy, a right-wing University of Chicago-trained economist, has surged from relative obscurity, just as Elisa Carri, a left-of-centre corruption crusader, has fallen to the bottom of the heap after running an ineffective and low-budget campaign. |

| | Justicialist Party (Argentina) |
| | This flag is not oficially used by the party. | | | Surely is difficult to handmade a flag with the peronist shield in center, but easy to combine celeste and white letters. | | | The model of the Peronist Coat of Arms was presented in the 1940s to General Juan Domingo Perón, who accepted it as political emblem. |

| | Robles Reports from Bolivia No.8 |
| | By this move the “strategists” of the POR are backing the Peronist Congress of Workers’ Unions. | | | This outfit was organised by Peron’s agents in Asuncion, Paraguay, with the aim of winning the support of Latin American workers to Peron, not only against “Yanqui Imperialism”, but also against his own Argentine opposition, that is, the workers’ opposition in Argentina. | | | It is very difficult to think of a clearer case of political blindness. |

| | OhioLINK ETD: Bell, Lawrence |
| | Like other Latin American populists, Peron combined a corporatist conception of the state with ideals of popular democracy and social mobilization throughout most of his first two terms as President of Argentina. | | | This dissertation considers the question of Jewish ethnic politics in Argentina under the Peronist regime from 1946-1955. | | | Utilizing sources such as Argentine census data, voting returns, institutional records, community newspapers, and archival documents, this project expands our understanding of political culture in Latin America by considering the ways in which traditionally marginalized and subaltern groups responded to the message of populist leaders after 1930. |

| | For the past year controversy has raged around Carlos Menem’s privatization programme. | | | As the Peronists regroup under their old banners the appeal to the poor and disaffected of Argentina is obvious. | | | Leaders of Peronist trade unions, like Hector Esquivel of the Telephone Engineers Union, are now beginning to condemn President Carlos Menem’s espousal of modern capitalism with fierce rhetoric and a clear appeal to the nationalism and anti-Americanism that runs through the whole of Latin American political life. |
