The formation of a developmental hegemony in post-neoliberal Argentina

Abstract

The organic crisis that broke out in Argentina in late 2001 was a turning point in the neoliberal domination established by the ruling classes during the preceding decades. The construction of a new “normality” of the ruling classes, who had the support of a significant part of the whole of Argentinean society, involved a hegemonic process. This article focuses on the development of this process in the post-neoliberal years. It begins with a critical analysis of the discourse of dominant and subordinate actors in the 2002-2004 period, a key moment in the creation of a “developmental hegemony”.
