          Abstract

          Resumen Introdución El artículo se propone estudiar la Vicepresidencia y su papel en la conformación de las coaliciones políticas. La Vicepresidencia es una institución poco estudiada en América Latina. En los diferentes países presentan funciones que pueden ser distintas, pero hay una en común: el reemplazo del Presidente en caso de ausencia temporal o definitiva. El trabajo analiza el caso argentino y toma el gobierno de la Alianza (1999-2001) y el de Cristina Kirchner y su Concertación Plural (2007-2011). En ambos casos el Vicepresidente fue de un partido distinto al del Presidente y que conformaba la coalición o el acuerdo político. Métodos El estudio considera factores normativos y políticos. El normativo se refiere a las facultades constitucionales de la Vicepresidencia. Los políticos son: el modo de designación del Vice; el tipo de relación que se establece entre el Presidente y el Vicepresidente; el papel que le asigna el Presidente a su Vice; el modo en que el Vicepresidente desempeña su papel; y el peso de las fuerzas políticas que los mismos representan. Resultados Los resultados del estudio muestran la importancia de la relación entre el Presidente y el Vicepresidente para el mantenimiento de las coaliciones poco institucionalizadas y donde las facultades de los Vicepresidentes son ambiguas o reducidas. Discusión El resultado del artículo agrega perspectivas a la incipiente discusión sobre las funciones y la utilidad de la Vicepresidencia especialmente cuando esta institución sella acuerdos o coaliciones de gobierno. El estudio aporta una clasificación sobre los tipos de Presidente y de Vicepresidente, cuya combinación puede significar situaciones de cooperación o de conflicto que pueden influir en el éxito o el fracaso de la coalición de gobierno.

          Abstract Introduction This study covers the role of Vice presidencies and their role in the consolidation of political coalitions. Vice Presidency in Latin America is not a thoroughly - researched institution. Its functions and faculties vary across the regions countries, but there is one that is common to all of them: replacing the president should he or she become temporarily or definitively absent. This paper analyzes this developments in Argentina and it covers the case of Alianza government (1999-2001) and that of Cristina Kirchner and her Concertación Plural (2007-2011). In both cases the president was chosen from a different party than that of the President, one that form part of a coalition or political agreement. Methods This study considers some factors that are normative, while others that are political. With respect to normative factors we must especially consider the faculties, attributes and competences that the Constitution assigns to the Vice President. Among the political factors its worth highlighting the method of Vice-presidential appointment, the relationship thats establish between the President and the Vice President, the role assigned to the Vice President by the President, the performance and method under that role and the weight of political influences, they both represent. Results The results of this study show the importance of the relationship between the President and the Vice President for the maintenance of the coalitions that are not very institutionalized, and where the Vice Presidents faculties are either ambiguous or reduced. Discussion The results of the paper bring a different perspective of the discussion regarding the functions and utility of Vice Presidents, especially when their role is to seal agreements or coalitions. This paper presents a classification of the types of Presidents and Vice Presidents and the various combinations that could result in either cooperation or conflict, and could influence the success or failure of a coalition.
