| description |
Between the decades of 1870 and 1880, in Mexico as well as in Argentina the compromises which were reached between the ruling groups put an end to many years of political instability. Besides, these compromises allowed the
articulation of alliances that made possible to maintain the power structures until the second decade of the 20th century, to install a stable order, and to accelerate the process of state organization. The appearance of an intellectual current that was especially concerned with the problem of order contributed to this process by proposing formulas which mediated between the principles of order and liberty. This current recovered the liberal heritage but also it defended the instauration of strong governments. This theoretical elaboration had consequences both in the field of predominant ideas, and in that of legislation which aimed to achieve a balance between both principles.
Municipal spaces were affected by this process. In the case of Mexico, the municipalities were in charge of the organization of local and general elections, which is a sign of the importance that they had. Besides, if we consider that tensions at the local level were one of the main causes of Mexican revolution, and that in several Argentina provinces the crisis of the oligarchic regime were accompanied by some intense political conflicts, it takes relevance to analyze the acctions of municipal organization during the Porfiriato and the conservative order (1880-1916) in Argentina.
This paper intends to analyze, on the basis of legislation, two problems regarding this broad topic. On one side, the relationships between state or provincial governments and municipal administrations. On the other side, the levels of participation in the municipalities. |

Entre las décadas de 1870 y 1880, tanto en México como en Argentina los compromisos alcanzados entre los grupos gobernantes pusieron fin a muchos años de inestabilidad política y permitieron la articulación de alianzas que hicieron posible conservar el poder hasta la segunda década del siglo XX, instaurar un orden estable y acelerar el proceso de organización del estado. El surgimiento de una corriente intelectual, preocupada especialmente por el problema del orden, contribuyó a ese proceso al postular fórmulas mediadoras entre los principios de orden y libertad, recogiendo la herencia liberal pero defendiendo la erección de gobiernos fuertes. Esta elaboración teórica tuvo implicancias tanto en el orden de las ideas predominantes como en el plano de la legislación que procuraba alcanzar cierto equilibrio entre ambos principios. Los espacios municipales no fueron ajenos a este proceso. En el caso de México, eran las municipalidades las encargadas de organizar las elecciones locales y generales, lo cual es indicativo de la importancia que revestían. Asimismo, si se considera que las tensiones a nivel local fueron uno de los principales desencadenantes de la revolución mexicana y que en Argentina una intensa conflictividad política local en varias provincias acompañó la crisis del régimen oligárquico, cobra relevancia analizar el funcionamiento de la organización municipal durante la época del Porfiriato en México y el orden conservador (1880-1916) en Argentina.En este trabajo se plantea analizar, a partir de la legislación, dos problemas vinculados a esta amplia temática: las relaciones entre gobiernos estatales oprovinciales y administraciones municipales; y los niveles de participación en el municipio.
