"Introduction" Steven Levitsky and María Victoria Murillo, p. 1-17
in Levitsky, Steven, and Maria Victoria Murillo. 2005. Argentine democracy: the politics of institutional weakness. University Park, Pa: Pennsylvania State University Press.
- Federalism and the Link between Subnational and National Politics
- subnational politics are crucial to understanding national-level politics and policymaking in Argentina (9)
- provincial governors have been able to gather enormous power under democratic rule
- The Transformation of State-Society Relations in the Postcorporatist era
- labor protest has been increasingly confined to provincial public sector employees (Farinetti 2002) (12)
- blockade as a new form of protest
- the participants in provincial riots and urban looting are frequently embedded in (and mobilized by) the very clientelistic networks that they are said to replace (13)
- much of the urban poor was incorporated into clientelistic networks during the 1990s
- postcorporatist scenario reveals a trend away from national-level collective bargaining organizations and national definied class identities
- localized, territorial identities are becoming more salient
- most new social actors are resisting close ties to the state
- authors mention the middle class, CTA, and piqueteros....but some of the piqueteros have drawn closer to the state in recent years
