This study is concerned with the forty-year period before 1930,
when Argentina experienced rapid economic and social growth broken
only by the First World War. The Radical Civic Union appeared in
the 1912 elections and in 1916 its leader, Hipolito Yrigoyen,
became President. Dr Rock discusses the origins and course of this
experiment in representative government, and the distribution of
power and political benefits under the new system in the light of
the society created by the growth of the primary export economy:
how it came about that the established political elite ceded
control to the Radicals; whom they represented and towards which
groups they directed their attentions. The work also deals with the
methods of organization and mobilization used by them in a complex
urban environment to develop and uphold their political support. It
examines in some detail the class conflicts of the wartime period,
the strikes whereby the workers sought to guard against the erosion
of their wages by inflation, and the counter-mobilization of elite
and middle-class groups, most notably in the bloody 'Tragic Week'
of 1919.
