Our future challenges 81 Annex 83 Foreword by Gerardo Martínez, Director, Multidisciplinary Team for Decent Work, CGTRA Secretary for International Relations Concurrently with the completion of the DWCP (Decent Work Country Programme) 2008- 2011, it is my pleasure to introduce this publication that shows our commitment to oversee fulfillment of this tripartite programme. I am honoured to have been given this responsibility by the CGTRA Executive Committee that appointed me as Director of the Multidisciplinary Team for Decent Work (MTDW), which was and still is the voice and action forum of workers, in support of this Plan and the promotion of decent work. I am convinced that the task carried out by the MTDW is and will continue to be a contribution to the transformation of this reality, which can be considered unfulfilled until full Decent Employment is not achieved across our country. Strengthening of male and female workers, their leaders and organizations is an essential task to ensure a fairer and more democratic society. Actions described herein reflect the activist and professional work of a group of fellow workers –both men and women- who are committed to Social Justice within the International Secretariat. I would like to explicitly point out that the technical, professional, human and financial support provided by the ILO Country Office for Argentina has been relevant. Without such assistance it would have been practically impossible to carry out our activities. I would also like to thank the representatives of the Ministry of Labour, Employment and Social Security and the Argentine Industrial Union, for their technical and professional inputs, as well as for their encouragement and acknowledgement of the MTDW’s work. It is worth highlighting that CGTRA is the first workers’ confederation worldwide to have created a forum for promoting Decent Work, and to have conveyed this experience to other countries and regions. In that regard, we wish to thank the ILO Bureau for Workers’ Activities (ACTRAV) for its support. The MTDW’s efforts to federalize the promotion of Decent Work have been made possible thanks to the activism and commitment of leaders across the country that supported this initiative, in the most remote areas of Argentina, a large country indeed. Finally, I wish to express my gratitude from a personal and institutional standpoint to the hundreds of fellow workers that are part of the MTDW and coordinate its activities, for their relentless efforts to favour “DECENT WORK FOR A DECENT LIFE”. Gerardo Martínez, MTDW Director, CGTRA Secretary for International Relations, member of the ILO Governing Body. 9 Foreword by Marcelo Castro Fox, Director, ILO Country Office for Argentina The role of workers’ organizations within the International Labour Organization has been mentioned in many instruments and in several debates. In Argentina, however, the trade union movement once again places itself at the forefront of the activities, not only enabling the preparation but also the implementation of an agenda, which allowed fulfillment of the commitments undertaken in the 2008-2011 Decent Work Country Programme (DWCP). Actions were carried out across the country through the different Multidisciplinary Teams for Decent Work, within a pluralistic, participatory and democratic spirit, as promised by the CGTRA Secretary for International Relations, our dear friend Gerardo Martínez, at the begin- ning of this stage that we have just completed. A Country Office that has such an active, qualified and committed counterpart as the CGTRA must show a level of excellence to allow responses that are in line with the expecta- tions arisen. This was and will be our challenge during the forthcoming period. Therefore, my dear CGT fellow workers, please rest assured that this Office will continue to provide technical cooperation with renewed enthusiasm as required by you, the Government and employers’ organizations, to further our goals of urging respect for labour standards, promo- ting the creation of more good quality jobs; enhancing social protection coverage and, above all, continuing to encourage an effective social dialogue that, based on trust and good faith, will allow social actors to advocate for labour and social policy formulation. To conclude, I would like to thank Gerardo Martínez for his vision and leadership; Marta Pujadas for her permanent dialogue with this Office to define the best ways for contributing to CGTRA tasks; Antonio Jara and Marita González, for their excellent coordination of the Multidisciplinary Teams for Decent Work and, through all the above, I would like to convey my recognition to hundreds of trade unionists that are part of and support the MTDW, with a view to achieving a fairer and more equitable society. Finally, I wish to thank Carlos Rodríguez –our expert in workers’ activities- for his technical support, and Atilio Bleta for his help in systematizing this valuable experience. Marcelo Castro Fox, Director, ILO Country Office for Argentina. 11 Chapter 1 12 1. Decent Work 1.1. Scope of the concept Work identifies people with regard to their insertion into a community and with the idea of modern human development; work not only defines someone’s place in the social struc- ture but, furthermore, the individuals’ social relations and modes

  • Argentina: Incumbent Presidential Victory and Tensions Within the Macroeconomic Model
    REVISTA DE CIENCIA POLÍTICA / VOLUMEN 28 / Nº 1 / 2008 / 35 – 59 ARGENTIN A : VICTORI A PRESIDENCI A L OFICIALISTA Y TENSIONES EN EL ESQUEM A M A CROECONÓMICO Argentina: Incumbent Presidential Victory and Tensions within the Macroeconomic Model ALEJANDRO BONVECCHI Universidad Torcuato Di Tella AGUSTINA GIRAUDY University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill RESUMEN El año 2007 estuvo marcado por la continuidad del crecimiento económico, por las tensiones surgidas en la implementación del esquema macroeconómico de tipo de cambio elevado con superávit fiscal y comercial (inflación y deterioro del superávit fiscal primario del sector público), por la consolidación del dominio electoral del partido oficialista Frente para la Victoria (FPV) con su triunfo en las elecciones generales y legislativas, y por la territorialización y faccionalización de los principales partidos políticos nacionales. Durante 2007 se observó una mejoría de los índices socioeconómicos (desempleo, pobreza e indigencia), así como un incremento de los niveles de conflictividad sindical, principalmente en las provincias. En el plano internacional, sobresalieron la conflictiva relación con Uruguay y la continuidad de la alianza económica con Venezuela. Palabras clave: Crecimiento económico, inflación, victoria presidencial/legislativa oficialista, territorialización de partidos políticos, conflictos sindicales. ABSTRACT The year 2007 was marked by the continuity of economic growth, the tensions stemming from the implementation of the macroeconomic model (i.e., inflation and decline of the public sector’s primary fiscal surplus), which rests on a high exchange rate and commercial and fiscal surplus, the consolidation of the electoral predominance of the incumbent party Frente para la Victoria (FPV) in the general and legislative elections, and by the territorialization and fractionalization of the main national political parties.

  • Patrones De La Formación De Gabinete En El Presidencialismo Argentino (1983-2015)
    ¿Caso testigo o caso único? Patrones de la formación de gabinete en el presidencialismo argentino (1983-2015) María Matilde Ollier Pablo Palumbo Universidad Nacional de San Martín (Argentina) DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7440/colombiaint87.2016.03 RECIBIDO: 29 de octubre de 2015 APROBADO: 15 de diciembre de 2015 MODIFICADO: 19 de enero de 2016 RESUMEN: La mayoría de los estudios sobre coaliciones de gobierno en las democracias latinoamericanas consideran al gabinete un órgano de gobierno colectivo y analizan el apoyo legislativo al presidente a partir de la filiación partidaria de los ministros. Dado que el caso argentino no se ajusta a esta perspectiva, al construir el concepto trayectoria de gabinete, el artículo prueba cómo dos causas fundamentales (la baja institucionalización de los partidos políticos y la centralidad presidencial) combinadas con dos causas próximas (el contexto en el cual asume y transcurre su mandato un jefe de Estado y las estrategias que utiliza para gobernar) definen la formación del gabinete. El trabajo concluye que el intercambio de puestos en el gabinete por votos en el parlamento es inexistente para la formación del gabinete en Argentina. PALABRAS CLAVE: presidencia • ministerio • gobernabilidad • partido político (Thesaurus) • estrategias presidenciales (palabras clave autor) H Una versión preliminar de este trabajo fue presentada en el XII Congreso Nacional de Ciencia Política organizado por la Sociedad Argentina de Análisis Político (SAAP) en la Universidad Nacional de Cuyo (Argentina), del 12 al 15 de agosto de 2015.

  • The South–South Remittance Corridor Between Argentina and Bolivia
    The South–South remittance corridor M Also available online at: R between Argentina S http://publications.iom.int/bookstore 49 and Bolivia South–South remittance corridors still remain a largely unexplored research area, despite the fact that for a few years already, international organizations, such as the International Organization for No. 49 Migration and the World Bank, have been highlighting the importance of South–South migration and remittance flows. In South America, the Argentina–Bolivia corridor is the third most relevant South– South corridor in terms of annual volumes, after Venezuela–Colombia and Argentina–Paraguay. This publication provides a diagnostic report on the access to and use of remittance services by Bolivian migrants in Argentina, showing the main obstacles and challenges faced to achieve a productive use of remittances. The study examines the legal and regulatory frameworks of remittance- related transactions, together with the sending process from Argentina to Bolivia, with its chain of intermediation and different money transfer schemes. Field research was carried out through a survey and qualitative interviews with Bolivian immigrants living in Greater Buenos Aires and Greater La Plata, divided into two sub-samples of clients and non- clients of microfinance institutions. Research outcomes highlight a series of ways for policymakers and international organizations to facilitate the flow of South–South remittances, from a standpoint of progressive financial inclusion of migrants and their families. This study provides key recommendations for public policies and actions aimed at maximizing the positive impact of remittances in terms of local development, focusing on two intervention pillars: financial education and transparency of the remittance services market.
