Abstract
SOSA, Pamela. The Arise of the Anti-Corporate Political Conception of the Frente para la Victoria in Argentina. Estud. Polit. [online]. 2016, n.49, pp.55-77. ISSN 0121-5167. https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.espo.n49a03.
This article explores the relationship between the social and political trajectory of the main members of the Front for Victory (El Frente para la Victoria), the political party that governed Argentina from 2003 until 2015, and the political thinking that this political party established through its time in office: "the anti-corporate activism." This article analyses the background and origins of the FVA in the province of Santa Cruz, the territory in which this organization (originally called Frente para la Victoria Santacruceña) originated in the late 80's and during the 90's. To this aim, we analyzed data from semi-structured interviews, newspapers, local magazines, parliamentary records, party archives, necessary and urgent decrees, laws, and social and political biographies. The investigation shows that the marginalization of the FVS elite in the political landscape defined the identity of the political party. Thus, positioning the party "outside" the relations of political exchange among political and social groups that represented the society.
