Social movements, politics and hegemony in Argentina

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the relationship between social movements and political dynamics in Argentina. It analyzes first the actions of resistance movements in the neoliberal hegemony, then during the crisis period and finally in the «post-neoliberal» phase where new conditions of historical action appear. The view over the political logics embedded in the processes will enable us to bring understanding of the scope of the action of social movements in shaping current political order in Argentina, as part of wider historical events that take place in countries of Latin America.
