Abstract

This article explores the institutional evolution of the Cabinet Office of Ministers of Argentina, since its creation, product of the constitutional reform of 1994, up to the present. It focuses mainly on the organization, on the functions performed and on the profiles of the chiefs of staff throughout the established period. Likewise, it is emphasized that it is important not only to study the organizational transformation of this administrative body, but fundamentally the role it has played in the context of the organization of the Argentine Executive. We argue that this entity originally conceived to deconcentrate and temper Argentine presidentialism, became a powerful tool in the service of the president
