Senegalese migration arrived in Argentina in the mid-1990s and saw an increased flow towards 2008. Despite the efforts made from different approaches to study this trend, it has yet been impossible to assess its magnitude or get any other socio-demographic data of said population. This paper presents the main results of a quantitative survey carried out among the Senegalese population residing in various areas within Argentine territory and conveys their main limitations.

The paper contributes to child poverty measurement in Argentina in the long-term considering regional heterogeneity. Two approaches are followed: poverty line and basic needs methodology. Data comes from the Permanent Household Survey carried out by INDEC. Results show that monetary poverty remained high and with sharp increases in the long term; that deprivations due to unsatisfied needs decreased and finally, that children are the ones mostly exposed to deprivation regardless of the measurement method adopted.

This article explores and explains how the views concerning the problem of the latifundium have changed over time. In the XIXth century, this paper suggests, the latifundium was conceived first and foremost as a political problem. After 1910, critics emphasized its social dimension. Meanwhile, in the mid twentieth century, the focus was placed on its economic aspect. Changes in the way Argentinians viewed large rural property relate to larger debates on the country's most important political issues: the creation of political order, the quest for social justice, the search for economic development.

The consolidation of the agribusiness model (MA) in Argentina has entailed significant transformations in the social, economic and ecological dimensions. The so-called "externalities" of the MA have been denounced and analyzed by different social sectors. However, in the agrarian social sectors inscribed in the logic of the MA, the environmental dimension enters as a different concern, that is, as problems for business profitability. In this paper, we aim to explore this issue in relation to the strategies that the middle agrarian sectors related to soybean production are starting to outline in response to the new problems of the XXI century agriculture, such as glyphosate-resistant weeds.

In this paper we analyze the socioeconomic gaps as well as the tasks and resources distribution among Argentinian provinces from the year 2000 onwards. We have found increasing gaps in most socioeconomic dimensions, insufficient provincial tax capacities and a distribution of national funds that have intensified preexisting regional asymmetries. To achieve a redistributive intervention among Argentinian provinces requires increasing subnational resources, compensating different tax capacities, thinking coherent policies, progressively allocating national funds, promoting virtuous circles of development and building local capacities and employment opportunities.
