Introduction: From 2003, Argentina developed a set of policies centered on the Social and Solidarity Economy. In particular, the social policy Argentina Works had a broad development throughout the country. Objective: The purpose of the paper is to describe and analyze the territorial application of the programs included in the social policy Argentina Works in the province of Mendoza during the years 2010-2015, based on the socioeconomic principles of the Social and Solidarity Economy and the social integration of the work. Method: The methodology used has been qualitative, with an exploratory-descriptive design. The instruments used were the documentary analysis of technical reports published by the national government and interviews with referents of the Ministry of Social Development of the Nation in Mendoza and organizations reached by the Argentina works policy, in different territories of the province. Results: The territorial application of the Argentina works en Mendoza policy was concentrated in the metropolitan region. The socio-economic principles of Social and Solidarity Economy in particular that prioritize the implemented programs are social production and circulation. Regarding the social integration of work, they present diversity in the integration stages and the dimensions to which they contribute. Conclusions: The Argentina Works policy was a relevant bet to tackle the problem of unemployment, it was halfway there, since the predominant conception of Social and Solidarity Economy was welfare and focused. In Mendoza, it reproduced the territorial concentration in the metropolitan region. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We present an analysis of two self-organized educational experiences in Argentina that respond to concrete needs regarding the supply of education in certain geographical locations: alternative rural schools, jointly managed by families, the state, and local communities; and an educational center that is self-managed by the employees and directed to homeless teenagers and adults. We use the notion of inhabiting space as an expression of social, cultural, and aesthetic relations, contrasting this notion with that of space as an object. The analysis shows that these experiences establish innovative educational institutions, in spite of their location within current administrative rationality, through articulation with ideological and geographical neighbors over time. We conclude that the notion of territory is fertile for understanding this type of capillarity and institutional conformation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

From the late 1990s onwards, and especially from the end of 2001, in various parts of the country and in diverse production branches, groups of workers started, or tried to run the companies they worked for, in the face of closure processes and/or breach of labor contracts. The phenomenon of the "recovered companies" was not always successful, and some experiences failed, as in the case of Consommé, an industrial dairy products company settled in 1997 in Anguil, La Pampa. The present work describes the process that took place from March 2005 onwards, inquires into possible causes of the failed attempt, and also into the role exerted by the different government bodies along the conflict. For this case study, qualitative research was carried out, through documentary inquiry from three newspapers of regional circulation published in Santa Rosa, and semi-structured interviews with different social actors involved.

The deepening of the economic crisis and the processes that led to the disappearance of industrialization as a result of the systematic application of neoliberal politics in Argentina paved the way for a social phenomenon that has involved the recovery of more than 200 bankrupt companies. The companies which are managed by the workers themselves are an expression of creativity in the face of unemployment and its devastating effects. This article centres on a series of problematic situations concerning these cooperative experiences. Its most important aim is to analyse the opposing forces once the companies started to work. It explores the role of trust, the emergence of collective projects and the scope of an ethics of care in these typically precarious and risky experiences. Finally, an extensive paragraph is devoted to the complicated bond between the cooperatives and their respective markets when they sell their products. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Since Argentina's socio-economic crisis (2001-2002), the phenomenon of workers taking over, or recovering, bankrupt companies has spread across the country. In this article, we present findings related to strategies of collective action that favor self-management. To do so, first we develop a typology of the incentives to recover companies through collective action. Next we describe how the social movement's organization has evolved. Third, we discuss the initial strategies of economic articulation between these companies. Our hypothesis is that, so long as the social movement is politically and socially week, the predominant strategies will be market insertion by companies on an individual basis. By contrast, a greater degree of mobilization would create more favorable conditions for strategies of productive integration and of strengthening the social economy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research addresses a range of experiences of political intervention in the field of higher education emerging in the years immediately following the events of 19 and 20 December, in order to specify how they express changes in the political intervention of college actors, as well as to expose how these transformations crystallize changes in teaching practices. Finally, it introduces a reflection on the mutual implications between political practices and educational practices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
