Argentine Democratic Politics in an Era of Global Economic Crisis
Taiwan Journal of Democracy, Volume 8, No. 1: 1-25 Argentine Democratic Politics in an Era of Global Economic Crisis Alejandro Bonvecchi and Javier Zelaznik Abstract This essay investigates the political and economic conditions that shaped Argentina´s response to the international economic crisis of 2008-2009 and its effects on the democratic regime. Argentina managed not only to preserve its democracy but also to improve its citizens' level of support for it during the crisis. Three factors account for these outcomes. One is the government's ability to obtain funding for its counter-cyclical policies, which enabled it to redress some of the economic and social effects of the crisis. Another factor is the government's success in presenting its statist and redistributive policy responses as a break with the past, thus recreating expectations of change to the status quo and hope for a better future. Finally, the timing of the legislative election and the coalitional dynamics of the opposition allowed the government to perform a strategic shift, which effectively reshaped the political agenda and enabled the ruling coalition to recover from an important electoral defeat by reinventing its nature. These factors enabled the incumbent government to recast the continuity of its previous policies as a novel response to the crisis, and thus rekindle the basis for a positive assessment of the democratic regime among citizens. Key words: Argentina, democracy, economic crisis, elections. The political effects of the international economic crisis of 2008-2009 in Latin America were somewhat anomalous. Contrary to the expectations born out of the experience of the Great Depression, the crisis did not weaken but strengthened public support for democracy. -

Factories Without Bosses: Argentina’S Experience with Worker-Run Enterprises
affairs Y Contemporar Factories without Bosses: Argentina’s Experience with Worker-Run Enterprises Peter Ranis Only in community with others has each individual the means of cultivating his gifts in all directions; only in the community, therefore, is personal freedom possible. In the previous substitutes for the community, in the State, etc., personal freedom has existed only for the individuals who developed within the relationships of the ruling class, and only insofar as they were individuals of this class. The illusory community in which individuals have up till now combined, always took on an independent existence in relation to them, and was at the same time, since it was the combination of one class over against another, not only a completely illusory community, but a new fetter as well. In the real community the individuals obtain their freedom in and through their association. Karl Marx, “The German Ideology” Clothing and Ceramic Factory Workers Confront the Owners “It was just a question of adding and subtracting. We can do that.” This was the response of a woman worker of one of the recently occupied factories of Argentina, the Brukman garment factory, as she explained why the workers were able to run the factory without their former managers or owners.1 Brukman is just one example of the many factories and enterprises taken over and run by their workers and employ- ees since the late 1990s; their number has multiplied substantially since the Argentine economic crisis of 2001. The Brukman takeover became one of the more celebrated confrontations between the workers, most of whom were female, and their employ- ers and the Argentine state. -
ARGENTINE WORKER COOPERATIVES in CIVIL SOCIETY: a CHALLENGE to CAPITAL–LABOR RELATIONS Wusa 273 77..106
Workingusa The Journal of Labor and Society ARGENTINE WORKER COOPERATIVES IN CIVIL SOCIETY: A CHALLENGE TO CAPITAL–LABOR RELATIONS wusa_273 77..106 Peter Ranis The worker-recuperated enterprise and worker cooperative movements in Argentina raise fundamental theoretical and practical questions that not only implicate the Argentine political economy but also redound on workers confronted with outsourcing, downsizing, and arbitrary decisions by owners and managers of capitalist enterprises. The Argentine workers so engaged represent a dramatic confrontation between the rights of private property and the labor rights of the working class faced with unemployment and poverty. These examples of worker autonomy have demonstrated significant departures in terms of social formations. By their capacity to form alliances with progressive legal, community, political, and labor forces available to them, they represent an alternative path to economic development that is predicated on worker solidarity and democracy in the workplace. These conflictual visions of civil society are contested in the legal-constitutional, political-institutional, and ideological-cultural arenas. Contemporary Argentine industrial and enterprise worker cooperatives were essentially born in the run up to and during the massive popular societal demonstrations of December 2001. They owe much of their momentum to the social and economic crisis that offered little alternative to laborers and employ- ees but unemployment and poverty. Factory and enterprise bankruptcies and employer abandonment of places of work forced the laborers and employees to seek the redress of their grievances. One of the measures to which they turned, inspired by two prominent worker organizations, was the formation of worker cooperatives that are sanctioned by historical Argentine law. -

La Reconfiguración De La Relación Estado, Sociedad, Partido
167 Cuando la fortaleza del consenso es interrumpida: la reconfiguración de la relación estado, sociedad, partido. Neuquén, 1987-1991 Norma García* (UNCOMA. Argentina) Fecha de recepción: 09/09/2013 - Fecha de aceptación: 10/03/2014 Resumen Admitir el hecho de que toda sociedad es el producto de una serie de prácticas que intentan establecer un orden en un contexto de contingencia nos conduce a hablar de “momento político”. La propuesta consiste en comprender un escenario polémico como fue la fragmentación del partido hegemónico neuquino, el Movimiento Popular Neuquino, en el cual las manifestaciones del poder fueron objeto de una lucha de interpretaciones desde el interior mismo del partido. Ese escenario se ubica en el período 1987-1991 en la provincia de Neuquén, cuando se pusieron en cuestión los fundamentos legitimadores de una política que se había desarrollado desde 1963. El nuevo contexto interpelaría una forma de pensar y hacer política, las bases simbólicas sobre las que se asentaba su estrategia de legitimación, así como las prácticas y las interpretaciones que construían los mundos posibles, entrando en crisis las referencias tradicionales dominantes.

La Comunicación Política De Macri Adoptó Características Habituales Identificadas Con Líderes Populistas
La comunicación política de Macri adoptó características habituales identificadas con líderes populistas. Autor/es: Falduti Murri, Franco – LU: 1104266 Regueyro, Julián Gonzalo – LU: 1106944 Carrera: Licenciatura en Ciencias de la Comunicación Tutor: Lic. Ciarleglio, Gonzalo Año: 2020 Resumen/Abstract El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar, contrastar y definir a Mauricio Macri como un líder populista en base a los cambios políticos y comunicacionales identificados con estas figuras. Para ello, se realizaron lecturas de diversos autores que han definido anteriormente a este concepto, en conjunto con un análisis de la campaña política de Macri desde sus comienzos en 2003 hasta el ballotage por la jefatura de gobierno porteña en 2011. Se encontró que él cumple con las características de un líder populista a pesar de no poseer con todas las cualidades del clásico populista. Además, se demostró que la elección de las personas dentro de su gabinete político, la decisión de mostrar parte de su vida privada y el asesoramiento comunicacional que tuvo desde finales de 2004 en adelante fueron claves para los cambios que tuvo como figura política. También, se comprobó que tuvo un cambio discursivo desde sus inicios hacia el 2011 en lo que respecta al público al que apuntaba así como también en su ideología. The aim of the present paper is to analyse, compare and contrast Mauricio Macri with some populist leaders to end up describing him as one of them. We have based our study on distinctive political and communicative changes associated with these public servants. To achieve our purpose, we have carried out extensive research and conscientious reading of various documents, articles and books written by different authors that have defined a populist leader. -
FASINPAT Zanon Es Del Pueblo
FASINPAT Zanon es del Pueblo: The Struggle of the Fábrica Sin Patrón in Neuquén, Argentina Charles Aasgaard Davis Political Science- International Relations Major Carleton College, Minnesota Advisor: Professor Alfred Montero Senior Comprehensive Project Winter 2005 Introduction In March 2002, in the Neuquén province of Argentina, a group of over 200 recently unemployed workers voted in an assembly to break the chains on their bankrupt ceramics factory and start producing after four months without work or pay. Since this event, the factory has increased production to 300,000 m2 of ceramic tile per month, hired over 170 new workers from the vast Argentine unemployment sector, while maintaining the democratic popular assembly as a means of decision-making. The workers recently began to demand legal recognition from the national government as a workers’ cooperative that discards the old factory name of Zanon for a new one: Fasinpat- Fábrica Sin Patrón (Factory Without Bosses). In December of 2001, four months before the Zanon takeover, Argentina suffered an economic crisis twice the size of the crash that caused the Great Depression in the United States (Eppler, 2004). The Argentine crisis was the culmination of a decade characterized by the neoliberal economic policies of former Argentine president Carlos Saúl Menem, whose presidency began in 1989, beginning the Decada Menemista. Menem managed to implement many open market reforms from his base in the traditionally union supported Peronist party (PJ), avoiding the problems of his predecessor, Raúl Alfonsín, by building a coalition of labor unions, provincial governors, and the traditionally Peronist lower class (Murillo, 2001: 136). Menem’s presidency brought currency stability and economic growth at the cost of high unemployment, factory closings, and growing poverty and inequality. -

Neuquén tiene un pueblo muy combativo, y salió a las calles en esas épocas cuantas veces tuvo que salir, y dirigentes de hoy de algunos gremios, inclusive de algunos partidos, de movimientos estudiantiles, son los niños que iban en brazos de sus padres en la época del ’70... es decir que han mamado eso, lo han vivido, lo tienen como asumido a través de su piel, por eso no ha perdido esa tradición combativa que tiene Neuquén...”1. El siguiente artículo2 propone una serie de reflexiones sobre el por qué de ciertas características de la provincia de Neuquén respecto de su configuración como lugar particular para el conflicto social. -
Argentina and the Falkland Islands
Argentina and the Falkland Islands Standard Note: SN/IA/5602 Last updated: 27 January 2012 Author: Vaughne Miller Section IADS This Note looks briefly at the government in Argentina under Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, who has pursued the Argentinean claim to sovereignty of the Falkland Islands as a constitutional mandate. The arguments on the Argentinean and British sides have not changed with a change of government, while recent developments such as changes to the way in which fishing licences are issued and oil exploration around the Falklands, are continuing to affect bilateral relations. The Falklands/Malvinas are regularly debated at the United Nations Committee on Decolonization, at which a resolution is adopted calling on the two sides to talk about the issues. Successive UK governments have insisted that it is the Falkland Islanders themselves who have the right to decide on their destiny. Argentina maintains that the UN principle of the right to self-determination does not apply in the case of the Falklanders. Both the UK and Argentina accuse each other of colonialism. See Standard Note 6201 for information on the defence of the Falklands. Contents 1 The Argentinean Government 2 1.1 Néstor Kirchner Government 2 1.2 Cristina Fernández de Kirchner Government 4 2 UK relations with Argentina 6 3 The Falkland Islands 8 3.1 UK Government’s position on Falklands sovereignty 8 3.2 Argentinean views on sovereignty of the Malvinas 10 This information is provided to Members of Parliament in support of their parliamentary duties and is not intended to address the specific circumstances of any particular individual. -
