State Building and Political Movements in Argentina, 1860-1916

by David Rock

Under a system of oligarchy, Argentina evolved from a dictator-dominated backwater to the leading nation in Latin America. This book examines this evolution by studying three political movements: Mitrismo, led by Bartolom Mitre, Roquismo, under General Julio A. Roca, which ruled from the 1860s to 1910; and Radicalismo, a movement that sought to replace the oligarchy with a more democratic system.
