Abstract

The work undertakes the matter of political parties in Argentina analyzing its performance in the presidential elections between 1983 and 2003 searching answers and theoretical reflections on the “crisis of representation”. This paper covers the debate on the “exhaustion of the traditional bipartisanship” and on the “reorganization” of the competence between parties. In relation to the change on the axis of competence that crosses our parties system in the last decade, the role of the PJ party as a centrist party and the institutionalization of the Argentine parties are being debated. The party system in Chile and al role and institutionalization of its centrist parties as parameter of comparison with the experiences that offers the Argentine case is included. The main conclusions relate the analytic findings of the paper with the questions on which is the type of “political reform” that require our parties and our political system in general to fight the crisis representation that causes this investigation.
