Las relaciones entre poder local-poder central en Tucumán, Argentina. (1860-1880)

Abstract

In the second half of the 19th century, the strengthening alliance between local power and the progressive interference of the central power on the provincial autonomies they sealed the consolidation of the modern State in Argentina. The conformation of the tucumana sugar elite was intimately linked to the construction of the national State and it was —in great measure— product of the increasing economic and political unification in front of national power. The cooperation and the reciprocity between the local power and the central government has allowed that several tucumanos should rise up to the national sphere, acceding to key positions for capturing political decisions that made possible the economic development of the province, across the sugar local industry: the access to the credit, the construction of works of infrastructure, the measure tariff protectionists, etc. Why could elite tucumana reach a space of power in the national area? What factors did they allow them to negotiate with the central power?.
