PICCO, Ernesto. About subnational peronism, juarism and other local variations: alliances and infinghting in Santiago del Estero between 1946 and 2010. Trab. soc. [online]. 2013, n.21, pp.185-211. ISSN 1514-6871.

This paper focuses in the variations of peronism in a subnational scope, providing a look over Santiago del Estero in particular. It makes a historical review of the politic activities hold in Santiago del Estero in Peron´s name by different groups such as the regime of Carlos Juárez, dissident radicals, catholic nationalists, union leaders, Frondizi´s followers, guerrilla, neoperonists, nationalists military forces, young leftists, the christian democracy leaders, former officers of the last military dictatorship, neoliberal reformers, and most recently, local kirchnerism. The research for this paper was made gathering the work of historians and sociologists from Santiago del Estero and to fill the blanks of non-studied periods we have interviewed key informers. This case shows how the heterogenous political base of local peronism is unified after Peron´s death and the consolidation of Carlos Juarez´s strong leadership. After the leader´s death, local peronism separated again in different expressions of kirchnersim.
