The internal dynamics of the Unión Cívica Radical during the democratic recovery. Party organization, leaders and political practices (Córdoba, 1983-1987)

Abstract

The work examines the intraparty dynamics of the UCR in the province of Córdoba in light of the study of its internal currents, the political practices in relation to the selection of its candidates and its performance in internal elections. The analysis focuses particularly on the party reorganization prior to the 1983 elections and the agreements between internal lines. Then, it examines the main tensions that the party went through, organized in three main axes: the relationship between party and government, the insertion of Cordovan radicalism in the national structure and; lastly - across the first two - the confrontations between the internal fractions that intensified at electoral junctures.
