State and changes in the contemporary Argentine state
Journal Title: Revista de Estudios Marítimos y Sociales - Year 2010, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
This article deals with the transformations of the state form in present-day Argentina, including the process that goes from the 1990’s, when a process of metamorphosis of the state which resulted in new form of state that can be defned as liberal or conservative was registered. It also analyzes how a series of critical aspects of this new form of state suffered from a crisis during the rise of the social struggles that culminated in the insurrection of December 2001 and how they were modifed during the next decade. However, this article aims to identify and analyze some of the main lines of the metamorphosis. The general assumptions that guide the analysis are two: (1) That in the last decade and in close relation with the articulation of a neoconservative political hegemony, a new form of state that can be defned with precision as a form of neoliberal state was formulated; and (2) that some aspects of this form of state went into crisis, starting on the ascension of the social struggles that led, in the insurrection of December 2001, to the disarticulation of this hegemony - and were modifed during the following decade, but without replacing them with a more or less accurate new form of state.
