Argentina’s Two-for-One Presidency
Cristina Fernández de Kirchner’s victory in Argentina’s presidential election, following her husband's decision not to seek a second term, precedes the "rulng couple" that the Clintons may form in the US. But, unlike in America, Argentina's power duo can rule indefinitely, while exercising a form of hyper-presidentialism marked by secrecy and insitutional weakness.

Cristina Fernández de Kirchner’s victory in Argentina’s presidential election ushers in a political experiment that goes beyond national boundaries: that of “ruling couples.” It’s not that the Kirchners have much global influence. But they precede by a year the power duo that the Clintons may form in the United States, which gives them an aura of importance that extends far beyond Latin America.
