New forms of the labour movement: the companies recovered by his workers in Argentina. Political articulations and strategies of economic insertion

Abstract

This article’s objective is the analysis of the organizational evolution of the movement of Recovered Companies in Argentina and its relation to the strategies of productive articulation among them, representing hereby one of the first attempts for the creation of new spaces within social economy. Hence we’ve developed, in the first place, a typology of incentives to collective action. Secondly, we analyze the formation and the dynamics of political organization within the social movement. Thirdly, we describe the first strategies of economic articulation between recovered companies, which find in these political organizations one of the conditions that makes the economic articulation possible. It is precisely our hypothesis that, as the movement is politically and organizationally weak, strategies of individual insertion to the market by companies will prevail, and on the other hand, the greater is the integration and the trust bond between them encourages the conditions to project productive integration strategies.
