Consensus and conflict through three phases of the distributive conflict during the Kirchner Administration (Argentina, 2002-2011)

Abstract

The present work intends to contribute to the study of the growth process of the Argentine economy after the fall of the Convertibility (2002-2011) understanding that for this it is fundamental to analyze the political moment of the accumulation of capital. For this reason, we will focus on the study of how the State reconstructed order after the fall of Convertibility (2002-2011), specifically analyzing its economic intervention. Through the distributive conflict we will seek to address the “political dimension of economic policy” (Piva, 2015) that initially allowed (2002/3) to reconstruct the consensus, which since 2005 began to erode and finally mutated into an open conflict in 2008 during the so-called Conflict of the Countryside. Through the distributive conflict we propose to address the way in which social forces clashed or weaved alliances so that a level of fractionalist analysis will prevail throughout the article.
