The province of Buenos Aires (PBA) and, particularly, the Greater Buenos Aires (GBA) are territories of transcendental importance for Argentine politics. Their political elites both at provincial and local levels gain a leading role that deserves more attention in academic studies. In parallel, these are political players who have exhibited different characteristics and behaviors from the return to democracy in Argentina to the present and share points of contact that merit the drawing of temporal parallelisms among districts and regions [or at least based on the (South, West or North) area or (first or third) electoral section they belong to]. Thus, in this presentation, we will analyze the sociologic profiles of the GBA mayors who served in the districts with the highest party alternation in power from 1999 to 2019. Here, party alternation will refer to those electoral processes that, viewed in the long term, resulted in a change in the municipal leaders from at least three different parties or electoral fronts. Our general purpose is to systematically and comparatively explore and analyze these profiles from a subnational and sociohistorical perspective using a prosopographic method (studying variables such as their sociodemographic characteristics, their educational and occupational career paths and their social and political background). For this purpose, we will concentrate on the study of the only five cases that meet all these criteria: the mayors of Morón, Quilmes, San Martín, San Miguel, and Tigre. As it might be expected, many of these alternations are due to election defeats suffered at the hands of opposite forces. However, a significant number of them correspond to cases of electoral survival of the same political force or mayor that momentarily opt to change their political label. |

La Provincia de Buenos Aires (PBA) y, en especial, el Gran Buenos Aires (GBA) son territorios de una importancia trascendental para la política argentina. No sólo sus élites políticas provinciales sino también las locales cobran un protagonismo que merece mayor atención en los estudios académicos. Al mismo tiempo, son actores/rices que han manifestado distintas características y comportamientos desde la vuelta a la democracia en nuestro país hasta la actualidad y reúnen puntos de contacto que ameritan el trazado de paralelismos temporales entre distritos y regiones [o bien en función de la zona (sur, oeste y norte) o bien en función de la sección electoral (primera y tercera)]. Por eso en el presente artículo analizaremos los perfiles sociológicos de los/as intendentes/as del GBA que ejercieron funciones en los distritos que tuvieron mayor alternancia partidaria en el poder desde 1999 hasta 2019. Entenderemos por alternancia partidaria a aquellos procesos electivos que, leídos desde la óptica de la larga duración, hayan registrado cambios en los/as máximos/as mandatarios/as municipales entre al menos tres partidos o frentes electorales. Nuestro objetivo general es explorar y analizar de manera sistemática y comparativa estos perfiles a través del método prosopográfico y desde una perspectiva subnacional y sociohistórica, relevando variables como las características sociodemográficas y las trayectorias educativas, ocupacionales y aquellas relativas a su participación social y política. Para hacerlo, nos centraremos en el estudio de los únicos cinco casos que reúnen estas condiciones: los/as intendentes/as de Morón, Quilmes, San Martín, San Miguel y Tigre. Como es de esperarse, muchas de estas alternancias se deben a sucesiones a causa de derrotas electorales propinadas por fuerzas contrarias. Sin embargo, un número considerable de ellas se corresponde con casos de supervivencia electoral por parte de la propia fuerza o del/la intendente/a que cambia circunstancialmente de sello partidario.
