Resumen
SCHNYDER, Celeste. Los estados de la democracia: Bases políticas y policiales del poder estatal en una provincia del norte argentino. Postdata [online]. 2015, vol.20, n.1, pp.77-107. ISSN 1851-9601.
The subject ofthis article is the scope ofthe police power ofsome provincial Argentinean states and its contradictions with the liberties attached to a democratic regime. The concept of"internal enemy" underlying in the organic laws of the police forces, which were sanctioned mostly under an authoritarian representation of internal security, placed certain sectors of the population under suspicion and control of different political intelligence agencies. Through the case of "juaristas" governments in Santiago del Estero (1995-2004), we address the modalities ofpolice intervention in politics considering formal functions ofthe Department ofPolice Information (DPI), and extra-institutional linkages between leaders and that organism. Although national law forbids political espionage, provincial autonomies and functionality ofpolitical intelligence favored the continuity ofthe DPI and discouraged coordinating policies ofdemocratic security.
