Reshaping the political arena in Latin America : from resisting Neoliberalism to the second incorporation
No full textNeoliberalism changed the face of Latin America and left average citizens struggling to cope in many ways. Popular sectors were especially hard hit as wages declined and unemployment increased. The backlash to neoliberalism in the form of popular protest and electoral mobilization opened space for leftist governments to emerge. The turn to left governments raised popular expectations for a second wave of incorporation. Although a growing literature has analyzed many aspects of left governments, there is no study of how the redefinition of the organized popular sectors, their allies, and their struggles have reshaped the political arena to include their interests--until now. This volume examines the role played in the second wave of incorporation by political parties, trade unions, and social movements in five cases: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador, and Venezuela. The cases shed new light on a subject critical to understanding the change in the distribution of political power related to popular sectors and their interests--a key issue in the study of postneoliberalism.-- Acknowledgments xi

Social movement dynamics : new perspectives on theory and research from Latin America
No full textThis book presents an overview of new approaches to the study of social movements emerging out of Latin America, based on original and innovative analyses of the recent changes in collective action across the region. Over the past decade, new repertoires of co...ntention have emerged in parallel to changes in the configuration of actors, in previously established patterns of relationship between social movements and political institutions, and in the shapes of collaborative networks, both domestic and transnational. The authors analyze a broad set of countries and social movements, while focusing on three key theoretical debates: the interactions between routine and contentious politics, the relationship between protest and context, and the organizational configurations of social movements. The research agenda put forward by this book is neither defined nor restricted by geographical boundaries, even though the chapters are based on field research undertaken in Latin America. In doing so, this volume contributes to a still underdeveloped dialogue in theory-building in social movement studies, among scholars from the South and from the North, as well as among scholars specialized in different regions.-- Introduction: theory-building beyond borders, Federico M.

The efficacy of Steinernema feltiae in the control of Cydia pomonella in organic apple and pear orchards of Patagonia Argentina and its impact on local populations of entomopathogenic nematodes
No full textThis study evaluates the efficacy of the commercial product, Steinernema feltiae (NEMAPOM, e-nema GmbH, Germany), in controlling diapausing Cydia pomonella (Linneaus) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) (codling moth; CM) larvae in commercial organic orchards of pome fruits and in harvest bins in Rio Negro Valley, Argentina, subject to the attack of this pest. The infectivity of S. feltiae at
different temperatures in the laboratory and the persistence in the field of this commercial product and of local entomopathogenic nematode (EPN) strains after application were determined. The field assay was carried out in winter, with an application dose
of 1.5 billion infective juveniles (IJs) ha−1 on a total surface of 0.5 ha. Mortality by S. feltiae in CM larvae was greater than 85% at two of the four test sitesInstituto de Microbiología y Zoología Agrícola (IMYZA)Fil: Eliceche, Daiana Pamela.

Desperately seeking politics : political attitudes of participants in three demonstrations for worker's rights in Italy
No full textWith the collaboration of: ANDRETTA, Massimiliano; MILAN, Stefania and ROSSI, Federico.First published online: September 2012Social conflicts tend to take different forms. This article compares three demonstrations on issues of social justice in Italy: a traditional Labor Day demonstration, a march supporting a general strike called by the largest trade union CGIL (Confederazione Generale Italiana del Lavoro, Italian General Confederation of Labour), and the EuroMayDay parade, representing a "new" type of movement. Focusing on conceptions of democracy among activists, the article stresses that the economic crisis is a crisis of representative democracy as well. Protestors on social justice and labor rights expressed extremely low levels of trust in government, parliament, and political parties; the lowest levels were found among younger participants. At the same time, this lack of trust is coupled with confidence in the capacity of the citizens— especially if organized at the international level—to take the world into their hands. Despite high levels of distrust, demonstrators believe that one must strengthen all levels of government to be able to address social inequality—politics must regain control over the market

The poor's struggle for political incorporation : the Piquetero movement in Argentina
No full textThis book offers an innovative perspective on the ever-widening gap between the poor and the state in Latin American politics. It presents a comprehensive analysis of the main social movement that mobilized the poor and unemployed people of Argentina to end neoliberalism and to attain incorporation into a more inclusive and equal society. The piquetero (picketer) movement is the largest movement of unemployed people in the world. This movement has transformed Argentine politics to the extent of becoming part of the governing coalition for more than a decade. Rossi argues that the movement has been part of a long-term struggle by the poor for socio-political participation in the polity after having been excluded by authoritarian regimes and neoliberal reforms. He conceptualizes this process as a wave of incorporation, exploring the characteristics of this major redefinition of politics in Latin America.Part I. Theoretical Framework: 1. Introduction: a theory for the popular sectors' quest for inclusion in Latin America; 2. Beyond repertoires of contention: conceptualizing strategy making in social movements; Part II. The Second Incorporation in Argentina: 3. From the origin of unemployed workers' protests to recognition of the 'piquetero question' (1996–9); 4. From recognition of the claim to the legitimation of the piquetero movement as a national actor (1999–2001); 5. From movement legitimation to failed state reincorporation in the socio-political arena (2002–3); 6. Party territorial reincorporation in the socio-political arena (2003–9); 7. The aftermath of second incorporation: between continuity and change (2009–15); Part III. Comparisons and Conclusions: 8.

Aparición, auge y declinación de un movimiento social: Las asambleas vecinales y populares de Buenos Aires, 2001-2003
Get PDFThe Argentinean crisis of 2001 was a social explosion directed toward those national authorities that had produced a singular impasse due to the incapacity of the political elites to rebalance the political system. Because of the delay on the institutional re-equilibrium, political opportunities arose to allow the constitution of an ‘emergency’ form of organization and identity where deliberation by assembly is its fundamental constituent. By studying the emergence context of the assembly’s social movement, we respond to the following question: Why did the social explosion of December 2001 in Buenos Aires favour the formation of a social movement

Ministerio de Salud de la Provincia de Córdoba, Argentina.Introducción: Con el inicio del Aislamiento Social, Preventivo y Obligatorio (ASPO) vinculado a la pandemia de COVID-19, se pusieron en marcha en Argentina diferentes servicios de salud mental dirigidos a amortiguar los efectos de la emergencia. Las Facultades de Psicología y Ciencias Médicas (UNC), el Ministerio de Salud (Provincia de Córdoba) y la Dirección de Salud Mental fundaron el primer servicio dirigido a contener y acompañar personas y sus familias contagiadas con el virus y/o en cuarentena. Objetivos: El objetivo de este trabajo es caracterizar las consultas realizadas durante el ASPO al mencionado servicio. Se pretende dar cuenta de dos dimensiones propias del fenómeno: a) motivos principales de consulta, y b) comportamiento de la demanda a lo largo del aislamiento. Metodología: Se realizó el análisis de las consultas partir de las planillas de registro elaboradas por los operadores. La unidad de análisis fueron los consultantes y se realizaron estadísticas descriptivas de los datos. Resultados/Contribuciones: Se analizaron 951 intervenciones. Se caracterizaron 3 momentos de consulta: a) Instalación de la emergencia -18 de marzo al 13 de abril-; b) Estabilización de la emergencia -14 de abril al 14 de mayo- y; c) Retirada de la emergencia, a partir del 15 de mayo. El promedio diario de consultas disminuyó a lo largo del tiempo. Al inicio, las consultas referían a angustia, ansiedad, temor y preocupación por terceros. Luego se sumaron conflictos de comunicación familiar, preocupación por el proyecto de vida y economía, solicitud de tratamiento psicológico y agudización de cuadros preexistentes. Se infiere que principales motivos de consulta se sostienen a lo largo del aislamiento pero la frecuencia disminuye, lo que sugiere el desarrollo de respuestas eficaces frente a la emergencia socio-sanitaria. Este hallazgo se contrapone a las aseveraciones que predicen consecuencias nocivas del aislamiento sobre la salud mental de la población.publishedVersionFil: Ponce, Luciano Federico.

The second wave of incorporation in Latin America : a conceptualization of the quest for inclusion applied to Argentina
Get PDFArticle first published online: 29 DEC 2014.Between 1996 and 2009, a process of struggle for and (after 2002) partial achievement of the second incorporation of the popular sectors took place in Argentina. This process involved a combination of routine and contentious political dynamics that reformulated state-society relations in the postcorporatist period. As a continuation of the first incorporation (1943–55), the second incorporation displayed some similar features; other attributes were specific to this second process, mainly that it was not corporatist but territorial and that the central agents of transformation were not trade unions but the disincorporated popular sectors, which were territorially organized into a “reincorporation movement.” This article conceptualizes these dynamics and analyzes the role played by the main political actor related to this historical process, the piquetero (picketer) movement
