The transition and consolidation of the democratic regime in Argentinabanished violence as a means of gaining access to state power. However, thefrequent appearance of violent protests (?outbursts,? riots, looting or ?puebladas,?among others) interrogates the persistence of violent collective actions and theirrelations with the dynamics of institutional policy in the current democraticframework. To what extent do these facts form part of the new repertoires of action,as several authors maintain? Are they actions that are an instrument of politics, orare they the expression of a radical opposition to the system? On the other hand,the emergence of a multiple and a fragmented form of violence go hand in handwith the emergence of illegalities of various kinds: the expansion of informal andillegal economies (the trade in drugs, weapons and people, among the main ones).The proven complicity of the state institutions in these processes also questions therelationship between politics and violence, although in a different register. Is it aninstitutional ?flaw? or a new form of government? To what extent does suchviolence represent strategies of political accumulation?
