Abstract

TRENTO, Nicolás PEREZ. Political action and corporations under the kirchnerist administration: the case of Sociedad Rural Argentina (2003-2008). Trab. soc. [online]. 2019, n.32, pp.507-526. ISSN 1514-6871.

Along the years of the kirchnerist administration, the business associations have gone through several transformations and realignments, and the direction and character of their political action have also shifted in comparison to previous periods. In this paper, we aim to address this issue within the frame 2 of the first five-year period of kirchnerism, and focusing on the actions of one of the most traditional associations in Argentina, which represents the Pampas Argentinian landlords: the Sociedad Rural Argentina (SRA). We will seek to analyze its behavior in this new political scenario. Specifically, we will look into the link between the association and the kirchnerist administrations, as well as the alliances established with other organizations. In order to do this, we will first characterize the main economic tendencies of this period, showing that the growth in land rent was appropriated not only by landlords, but also by other subjects; then, we will review some of the most significant tendencies in the actions of the different corporations. On this ground, we will finally analyze the political action of the SRA, dividing it into four periods and presenting some conclusions.

Keywords : political action; corporations; landlords; kirchnerism; Sociedad Rural Argentina.
