Human Rights Policy After the Dirty War: State and Civil Society in Argentina (1983-1989)

Cutcher, Lauren M.

Abstract Details

2009, Master of Arts (MA), Ohio University, Latin American Studies (International Studies).
This thesis analyzes human rights policy in Argentina after the Dirty War (1976-1983). In particular, I argue that the formulation of human rights policy under Raúl Alfonsín (1983-1989) was contingent on several layers of relationships, 1) that of the state and civil society, and 2) the internal struggles within civil society and within the state. Moreover, the tradition of authoritarianism and its role in Argentine institutions further impacted the nature of these relationships. For the purpose of this study, the state refers to the presidential administration, the military, Argentine Courts and Congress, while civil society refers to the human rights organizations (HROs). The author conducted oral history interviews with different members of the human rights organizations, in order to gain personal testimony from those involved in the period in question.
