Crisis in Argentina

 

These pages were created by Dr Dennis Rodgers during Phase 1 of the Crisis States Programme when this project was undertaken. They provide information about research on local level institutional change in response to the crisis in Argentina. The project was carried out principally from an anthropological perspective and was an  exercise in inductive research. The fieldwork component of the project was conducted between mid-April and mid-September 2003, with the formal production of written output developed between 2003 and 2005. More specifically, the research project considers the conjunction between economic and political action in situations of crisis, focusing on the changing framework of everyday life, and exploring concomitant shifts in forms of collective mobilisation and the processes of their institutionalisation within Argentine society. Background information, the original project proposal, monthly reports, excerpts from interview transcripts, extracts from field notes, photos, and publications about this research have been made available in order to provide an insight into the research as it occurred.
