Argentina’s 2008 “conflict in the fields”: hegemony, accumulation and territory

Abstract

The article aims to address the agrarian conflict in 2008 in Argentina from the interplay of three axes: hegemony, accumulation and territory. To achieve this, we analyze the dynamics of the soy production circuit and its relationship to the accumulation model, getting then to the study of the specific political and ideological components of the conflict, which were to constitute a genuine struggle for hegemony, investigating, as well, territorial factors that influenced this process significantly.
