Abstract

BOVI, María Teresa  and  FANDOS, Cecilia A. "No hay minas buenas sin pleito": Política, concesiones e instituciones mineras en Jujuy, 1880-1930. Mem. am. [online]. 2018, vol.26, n.2, pp.27-46. ISSN 1851-3751.

At the beginning of the 20th century a review on mining deployment in Jujuy showed -apart from the recession caused by the lack of capital, the technological backwardness and the transportation difficulties- the absence of institutions protecting the rights and promoting obligations among the mining actors. In the early 1930s the aphorism "There are no good mines without lawsuits" was used to invoke the string of disputes the mining interest aroused in local life -to the point that even a governor had to resign after the murder of a Spanish miner. The article discusses the institutional problem and the mining conflict in the province between 1880 and 1930, the approach takes into consideration the mining ventures tested, the reconstruction of regulations - origins and application- and the mining practices and the political interference.

Keywords : mining business; cycles and rhythms; conflicts and institutions; 19^th century.
