Abstract
This chapter analyzes the development and growth of social movements in Argentina. Born in the crisis of neoliberalism in the late 1990s, these movements began to organize in the slums, providing food to the most vulnerable people and demanding subsidies for the unemployed from the state. But as the country recovered from the economic crisis and rebuilt its political institutions, the movements continued to grow. Using research techniques such as interviews, documentary analysis, and participant observation, this chapter shows that social movements have ventured into new “terrains” in their struggles, such as the trade union and the political-institutional arenas, placing militants in various governments, including seven movement leaders in the National Congress, taking up seats in the Chamber of Deputies. This makes them real “all-terrain” movements, which have to face new challenges and compete with relevant power actors, such as traditional trade unions and professional politicians.
