ABSTRACT
The presidential victory of Mauricio Macri and Cambiemos in 2015 is a turning point in recent Argentine history because, for the first time, a right-wing political force rose to power through the democratic vote and ended its mandate with sufficient popular support as to aspire to his re-election. The objective of this chapter is to analyse the morphology of the right that governed between 2015 and 2019 in three dimensions: the first studies the new morphology of society and the state proposed by Cambiemos; the second observes the tension between the democratic and the republican components run in Mauricio Macri’s administration; and the third determines the characteristics of the representative link of said government with its social bases and supporting policies. The central argument is that the Macri administration produced a great transformation in each of the dimensions studied, establishing a new frontier of Argentine democracy.
