One of three men will succeed President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, who succeeded her husband, Néstor Kirchner, in 2007, writes Mark Jones, fellow in political science. "The country's next president will almost without question be more supportive of free enterprise and private investment, have a greater respect for the rule of law — both domestic and international — and pursue a more centrist and pragmatic foreign policy than President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner."
