This article analyzes the significance municipalities reached within the Political Plan of Argentina's last military dictatorship. Through the study of secrete, classified and public documents that were produced by the highest spheres of military power this paper shows that municipalities served as a fundamental link to the regime's Political Plan in different ways: as a political instrument of territorial and social "capillary" control characteristic of the dictatorship; as an authorized space for the participation of a local reaching, apolitical "municipal citizenship;" as a laboratory of political openness and as a sphere which nurtured "natural leadership" in Argentina. Finally, this paper identifies common and differing elements of the municipalization of the Chilean dictatorship with the Argentinean case.
