MAURO, Sebastián. Electoral coalitions and new political parties in Argentina. The Republican Proposal Party case. Convergencia [online]. 2020, vol.27, e12116. Epub 17-Nov-2020. ISSN 2448-5799. https://doi.org/10.29101/crcs.v27i0.12116.
Republican proposal (PRO) is a party founded in 2002 that reached the Presidency of Argentina in 2015. The fact that an extra-bipartisan organization won a national election is an unprecedented phenomenon, which contradicts the predictions of the literature, which focused on analyzing the federalization of party system exclusively in terms of the denationalization of the two Argentine main parties. Which nationalization strategies were followed by PRO? The article proposes that PRO developed what we have called "subnational strategy", based on the opportunities offered by fragmentation and federalization of the Argentine party system. To identify such subnational strategy, the article reconstructs the electoral path of PRO in the 24 districts of the Argentine system for the national and subnational level, describing alliances and candidate nominations. Among key findings, the article identifies the characteristics of the "subnational strategy" and addresses the problems of the diagnoses on the territorial fragmentation of Argentine politics.
