PIVA, Adrián. How much of new and how much of populism are there in the new  populism?: Kirchnerism and Peronism in Argentina post 2001. Trab. soc. [online]. 2013, n.21, pp.135-157. ISSN 1514-6871.

During the last decade, a number of Latin American governments, formed from processes of social mobilization against neoliberal state-90s have made to resurge the interest about populism. These governments have reconstructed the political power of state and conditions for capital accumulation on the basis of the incorporation of demands and political inclusion of protagonist social movements of social mobilization processes. At the theoretical level the Populist Reason by Ernesto Laclau returned the interest about the old question: What is populism? In this paper we approach the problem of the relationship between neo-populism, a term we use to denominate the governments and movements national popular, and populism in the Argentine case, through the analysis of the relationship between Kirtchnerism and the first Peronism. To the extent that this is a first approximation, we will depart of a balance of the classical tradition of the studies about the first Peronism to try to establish to what extent the problems, categories and historical analysis that characterize it, allow to us conceptualize and understand the process of recomposition of political power during the Kirchner era.
