This article analyzes the socio-political dynamics during the left turn crisis in Argentina and Brazil. Why did this socio-political dynamic take the form of an institutional alternation of power in Argentina and an anti-institutional character in Brazil? We follow a mixed methodological strategy: genealogical, to understand the political dispute and reconstruct the emerging narratives during the mobilization cycle; and descriptive, to identify the mobilized organizations, their demands, and repertoires of action. The argument is that the Kirchnerism movement’s strategy in Argentina contrasts with the demobilization strategy of the Workers’ Party (PT) in Brazil. While the former contributed to channeling high levels of mobilization to the political system, the latter was decisive in the crisis of a long cycle of political representation.

Keywords : Political Regime; Comparative Politics; Political Left; Social Mobilization; Kirchnerism; Lulism..
