Subjects: Politics and government, Elections

Description: "Argentine electoral compaigning seldom uses television debates, telephone banks, or mass mailings. But radio and television ads are heavily used, as are opinion surveys. Carlos Menem was very effective with his automobile caravan, the 'Menemovil,' which brought him into direct contact with the voters. Interesting look at Argentine campaign styles and techniques of 'image-building.'"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
