Le « pouvoir du volant » en Argentine et en Bolivie dans le cycle postnéolibéral

Abstract

This paper compares the configuration of the relationship between the Argentina and Bolivia´s postneoliberal governments and the transport trade unions. This link flows, within the two countries, through three moments of political struggle: the sectorial, the political-sectorial and the political one which co-existed, moved from one to another or were in constant tension with some specificities according to each country. The political-sectorial moments proceed, specially, through two ways of political interchange: the corporatist (expressed by the participation of labour organizations in executive and parliamentray positions and in the making of policies) and the “movement logic”. The article concludes that this way through which these social organizations were incorporated into the State and in the governmental political project did undermine neither their capacity of social mobilization nor their political initiative.
