SEVESO, Emilio. City, security and territory: structuring trends in San Luis (2004-2017). Trab. soc. [online]. 2018, n.31, pp.106-126. ISSN 1514-6871.

The present work proposes to describe and characterize the security policies applied in the province of San Luis (Argentina) during the last years. Specifically, it refers to the series of strategies that emerged between 2004 and 2017, interpreted through local productive changes, the transformations of urban life and the modes of interaction. In this way, it tries to establish an interpretative link between these processes, the modalities of territorial regulation and the structuring conditions of the cities. Beyond the specificity of the case investigated, the importance of the study lies in problematizing a dimension as relevant as "security" from a relational point of view that overflows to the phenomenon as a closed field. It incorporates social and urban dimensions, practices and sensitivities, that reveal continuities with other Latin American cities of medium scale; especially, referring to new habitat conditions and living experiences, structured around economic, political and cultural changes.

Keywords : security; city; territory; San Luis; police.
