Collective Identity, the State and Politics: Understanding Working-class Organisations in Today's Argentina
An analysis of the current state and political horizons of working-class organisations
in Argentina can be developed along two intersecting lines. In the first, we have trade
unions representing workers in the formal sector, which accounts for about half of
the country's working population. In the second, we have social movements, based in
both the urban and rural space, representing poor and informal workers. These two
lines often run parallel to one another but also intersect and merge at different points
following the cycles of capital accumulation and crisis typical of a peripheral country.
