During these twenty-two months and amidst legal discussions with the royal court of justice in Lima and the Consejo de Indias, the Audiencia in Charcas took over the government of its district, monopolising the distribution of rewards, accelerating the transformation of the east of Charcas into a territory of the Catholic Monarchy through an expedition to support a group of Chiriguanaes. Some contemporaries deemed the period as of “bad government”. However, the exceptional circumstances enabled Audiencia members totake on additional duties, based on a rhetoric of “reason of state”, prioritising a government run with support from their political clients, aligned with the local elite, as a more pragmatical manner to run the district. Without an “alter-ego” of Phillip III in Peru, the Audiencia in Charcas thought of itself as the best suitedinstitution to make the monarch present in its jurisdiction.  El presente artículo explora la dinámica política del distrito de la Real Audiencia de Charcas durante el período de la ausencia de un virrey en el Perú entre 1606 y 1607, profundizando y reevaluando la sugerencia de Bridikhina (2015) de que tal tribunal sacó provecho de los interregnos. Durante esos veintidós meses, enmedio de discusiones legales con la Real Audiencia de Lima y el Consejo de Indias, la Audiencia asumió funciones de gobierno plenas en el distrito, monopolizando la distribución de mercedes y acelerando la territorialización del este charqueño mediante una expedición de ayuda militar a una facción chiriguana. El periodo fue, en la opinión de algunos contemporáneos, sinónimo de “mal gobierno”. Sin embargo, las circunstancias excepcionales hicieron que miembros de la Audiencia basados en una retórica de “razón de estado” se agregaran atribuciones y priorizaran un gobierno con sus clientelas políticas, alineado con la elite local, como una forma más pragmática de administrar el distrito. Sin un “alter ego” de Felipe III en Perú, la Real Audiencia de Charcas se veía a sí misma como la mejor institución para hacer presente al monarca en su jurisdicción.  Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires 2025-06-30 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/boletin/article/view/14521 10.34096/bol.rav.n63.14521 Boletín del Instituto de Historia Argentina y Americana Dr. Emilio Ravignani; Núm. 63 (2025): Julio-diciembre; 1-24 1850-2563 0524-9767 spa https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/boletin/article/view/14521/14635 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/boletin/article/view/14521/14664 Derechos de autor 2025 Boletín del Instituto de Historia Argentina y Americana Dr. Emilio Ravignani
