SOLEDAD STOESSEL

Workshop; Workshop Prelimar Research Results; 2016

The aim of this dissertation is to present some preliminary results of the research I am carrying out for my Ph.D Studies at University of La Plata, Argentina. This research was based on a qualitative and comparative multiple case study. The main inquiry of the research refers to the political representation within the so-called post-neoliberalism cycle, specially the relationship between governments and one particular social actor: the trade-unions of transport in three countries: Argentina (led by kirchnerism between 2003-2015), Bolivia (by Evo Morales since 2006) and Ecuador (góverned by Rafael Correa since 2007).
