520 1 $a"In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, under the political system known as the oligarchy, Argentina evolved from a dictator-dominated backwater to the leading nation in Latin America. This book examines the formation of a formidable nation-state by studying three political movements: Mitrismo, led by Bartolome Mitre; Roquismo, under General Julio A. Roca, which ruled the country from the 1860s to 1910; and Radicalismo, a political movement headed by Leandro N.
520 8 $aAlem and Hipolito Irogoyen that sought to replace the oligarchy with a more democratic system.".
520 8 $a"The book focuses on the methods these three political movements employed to attract allies in the rural provinces in order to create a national political coalition. Mitre enjoyed only a brief period of national dominance in the 1860s, his chief weakness being a narrow power base centered in Buenos Aires, which he was unable to extend. Roca began his career outside Buenos Aires in Cordoba, and came to power through a combination of military victories and the cultivation of local political support.
520 8 $aIn many respects, Radicalismo later succeeded by copying Roca's techniques of winning the support of provincial governors and local justices of the peace."--BOOK JACKET.
