LAURA LANTERI, Ana. About Learning and the Political-Institutional Shaping of the Country: A Re-interpretation of the Argentinean "Confederation" (1852-1862). Secuencia [online]. 2013, n.87, pp.69-94. ISSN 2395-8464.

The Argentinean "Confederation" (1852-1862) is re-interpreted from a perspective overlooked by specific studies on the period. It focuses on the convergence of national and provincial dynamics to explain the formation of the political order. It states that a learning process and national politico-institutional shaping began in the hiatus between the projected and the actual, which was consolidated in the following decades. Congress is the institution from which the problem is observed as a sphere for shaping national leadership and state institutions. But the paper goes beyond this to consider the action and interaction of legislators and the executive branch and the response of provincial political elites.

Palavras-chave : "Confederation"; provincial political elites; national executive branch; national congress; federal justice.
