Approaches to the ?Indigenous Policies? which fail to go beyond the mere charting of changes in legal norms, or the enumeration and description of initiatives do not allow us to assess their impact, in terms of the enlargement of the spaces for public interpellation, the reconfiguration of ideas and practices of citizenship, or their effects upon subjectification processes. Starting from the Argentine experience, the aim of this article is to examine the question of the sedimentation of neoliberal measures, in a context marked by the proclaimed will of re-appropriating the "national and popular" sovereignty over territories and resources. The analysis of the effects of the indigenous policies of the last decade upon the indigenous movement thus focuses on examining the model of development that has been adopted, and the transformations in the characterization of the plebs (the category of the popular, or of those most underprivileged) as a part of the populus, that is, as part of the people of the nation, and therefore of the demos, understood as the space open to those who can legitimately give form and content to the populus and who can put the world into words.
