SOSA, Pamela. La territorialización de la política a nivel subnacional: El caso del Partido Justicialista en Santa Cruz. Estud. - Cent. Estud. Av., Univ. Nac. Córdoba [online]. 2016, n.35, pp.163-182. ISSN 1852-1568.

An outlook of the academic studies approaching the changes in the structure of the political system since the return to democracy in Argentina shows that, specially starting in the mid-eighties is possible to identify a process of denationalization or provincialization of the party political struggle and a rising territorialization of politics. The present article strives to understand this phenomenon as an effect of the retreat of party structures and to investigate about its characteristics in a subnational level, parting from an analysis of the «Partido Justicialista» in Santa Cruz province in late eighties. First, we described the inner disputes of the PJ and its relation with the national politics in the national and provincial primary elections of 1988. Second, we reconstructed the political scene in Santa Cruz on the subject of the «Ley de lemas», or Slogan´s Law, a new mechanism set in place to resolve partisan in-fighting and a sign of the retreat of the political party as the main political structure. The consulted sources have been semi-structured interviews, journalistic archives and electoral norms

Palabras clave : Territorialization of politics; Political Fragmentation; Partido Justicialista; Sub-National Politics; Ley de lemas.
