Overview

Labor Conflict and Capitalist Hegemony in Argentina delves into the dynamics of labor conflict during a decisive moment in the history of Neoliberalism and its crisis. How did workers react to labor flexibilization, market reforms and massive layoffs? In what way were employers able to keep hold of industrial hegemony during the crisis of Neoliberalism? This book explores these questions from a Marxian approach on peripheral capitalist countries with the aim of contributing to a new conceptualization of labor relations, labor history and collective class action. The analysis focuses on the automotive industry in Argentina between 1990 and 2007 although framed in broader temporal dynamics. Labor conflict and capitalist hegemony in Argentina relata la dinamica del conflicto laboral en el periodo crucial de la historia del neoliberalismo y su crisis. ?Como reaccionaron los trabajadores frente a la flexibilizacion laboral, las reformas de mercado y los despidos masivos? ?De que modo los empresarios mantuvieron la hegemonia industrial en la crisis del neoliberalismo? El libro formula las preguntas a partir de una aplicacion del analisis marxiano para los paises perifericos capitalistas. Sobre esta base se propone una conceptualizacion novedosa de las relaciones laborales, la historia sindical y la accion colectiva de clase. El analisis esta enfocado en la industria automotriz argentina entre 1990 y 2007 aunque enmarcado en dinamicas temporales mas amplias.
