MUSSETTA, Paula et al. Climate change and vulnerability in Mendoza: social gaps, development model and transformation of the agriculture territory. Estudios Socioterritoriales [online]. 2018, vol.23. ISSN 1853-4392.

From the political ecology of climate change approach, natural events have a certain materiality but they interact with economic, political, social and territorial specific characteristics. This approach isused to analyze rural vulnerability to climate change in Mendoza. By doing this, it is distant from the studies that focus on adaptation and instead it identifies the structural determinants of vulnerability in the study area: fragmentation of water and soil management, persistent negative profitability; conditions of commodification and predominance of water and productive efficiency paradigm. The work followed a mainly qualitative analysis and argues that vulnerability roots are related to the preponderance of a development model primarily oriented to promote global market productivity, leaving out those who are not able to adopt it.
