TARABORRELLI, Diego. Ovejas al sur. Caracterización del sector lanero chubutense desde la economía política. RIA. Rev. investig. agropecu. [online]. 2019, vol.45, n.3, pp.359-372. ISSN 1669-2314.

Chubut’s wool activity has great geopolitical and cultural relevance within its economic matrix. In order to characterize it, it is considered that the wool sector is the result of a multi-scale and multi-dimensional structure, which has its own dynamics, articulation, organization and allocation of human and material resources in all its dimensions. Through the reading of secondary sources, interviews with qualified informants and official documents, this research proposes the analysis of six factors (international market, transnational capital, ownership of productive assets, power resources, physical infrastructure and incorporation of technology) that, historically, has characterized the structure of the wool sector in Chubut across its different levels (global, national and regional / sectoral).
