ARSince the 1994 reform, Argentine governments have shown varying levels of stability in their cabinets. Analysis reveals that the Ministry of Economy has had the highest number of replacements, highlighting the country's poor performance in this critical area of social organization, while the Ministry of the Interior has remained more stable due to the influence of governors in the hybrid federal system. The role of the Chief of Cabinet, established by Article 100 of the national constitution, was designed to manage the dynamic nature of cabinet changes, reduce political fragmentation within the executive branch, and partially temper the presidentialist structure of Argentina's political system. However, compliance with the requirement for the Chief of Cabinet to report monthly to Congress has been inconsistent, with 2014 and 2017 showing the highest adherence. The power and influence of the Chief of Cabinet depend on their relationship with the president and the political context of each administration. Historical data shows significant turnover in the Ministry of Economy across different presidencies, while the Ministry of the Interior has generally been more stable.
