    Las asambleas vecinales y populares en la Argentina las particularidades organizativas de la acción colectiva contenciosa
    (Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, 2005-01-31) Rossi, Federico M.
    La crisis argentina del 2001 abrió las oportunidades políticas para el surgimiento de un nuevo actor político: el “movimiento social asambleario”. Este artículo se basa en la observación etnográfica de varios casos de asambleas en la ciudad de Buenos Aires durante el periodo 2002-2003, pero tomando como ejemplos paradigmáticos de los grupos que se constituirían respectivamente como ala moderada y ala radical a la Asamblea Vecinal de Palermo Viejo y a la Asamblea Popular Cid Campeador. El estudio empírico de sus estructuras de movilización nos permitirá concluir afirmando que nos encontramos frente a un movimiento social reticulado, segmentado y descentralizado.

    ¿Qué papel juegan los partidos políticos en las protestas sociales? Tendencias recientes en Argentina y Chile
    (Universidad del Rosario (Colombia), 2024) Donoso, Sofia; Somma, Nicolás M.; Rossi, Federico M.; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5053-0198; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8717-3868
    Existe un consenso cada vez mayor sobre la naturaleza complementaria de la política institucional y no institucional como medio para impulsar las agendas políticas. Sin embargo, la mayor parte de la investigación tiende a concentrarse en un aspecto de esta relación, a saber, cómo los movimientos sociales influyen en la arena política, por ejemplo, impactando diferentes etapas del proceso de formulación de políticas y creando nuevos partidos políticos. Hay comparativamente menos comprensión de la dinámica inversa: el grado en que los partidos políticos también influyen en el ámbito de la protesta al adoptar y utilizar estrategias y tácticas —comúnmente asociadas con los movimientos sociales— y al conectarse con los manifestantes. Centrándose en Argentina y Chile, dos países que han experimentado oleadas masivas de protestas en los últimos años, este artículo examina la presencia de los partidos políticos en la organización, realización y canalización de manifestaciones. La recepción de los partidos políticos en las manifestaciones está estrechamente ligada a si son bienvenidos o no en el ámbito de la protesta. También analizamos cómo los manifestantes argentinos y chilenos perciben a los partidos políticos y el nivel de identificación que sienten con ellos. Nuestra principal fuente de datos proviene de 1 935 encuestas realizadas como parte de la red Caught in the Act of Protest: Contextualizing Contestation (CCC) entre 2015 y 2017. Encontramos que los partidos políticos en Argentina exhiben vínculos más fuertes con los movimientos sociales en comparación con los de Chile. Buscamos vincular este resultado con patrones divergentes e históricamente arraigados de dinámicas de protesta en ambos países y discutimos las implicaciones de nuestros hallazgos en la conclusión.

    Youth Political Participation: Is This the End of Generational Cleavage?
    (SAGE Publications, 2009-06-17) Rossi, Federico M.
    Young people express an increasing rejection of institutional politics and its classic actors, which has led to the assertion that youth are apathetic. This article intends to show why this affirmation is partial and does not reflect the underlying complexity of what motivates political participation in young people. The hypothesis is that since young people interpret the youth condition as transitory, they do not consider youth political participation an end in itself. While the youth condition does not structure political participation or constitute actors and political projects, there are specificities of youth political participation that need to be identified. For the purpose of identifying what motivates youth to participate — and how and where do they tend to do so — three cases of political involvement are presented: ATTAC Argentina, the Klampun Community of Papua New Guinea and the World YWCA. The theoretical sections rest on a broadly based research study suggest a reformulation of the common adult perception on youth political participation.

    Multiple Paradigms for Understanding a Mobilized Region
    (Oxfor Academic, 2023-05-22) Rossi, Federico M.
    The field of social movement studies in Latin America has gradually consolidated into a subdiscipline since the re-democratization of most of the region in the 1980s. The reinstatement of academic freedom, the return of some scholars from exile, and the political relevance of social movements and protests since re-democratization have put this area of research at the core of numerous studies. The question of how to understand the struggles that have defined Latin American history since independence has led to very intense theoretical debate that has developed alternative explanations for the comprehension of social movements. In Latin America, social movement studies as a subdiscipline has been characterized by a great diversity of theoretical approaches and a pragmatic combination of perspectives in empirical studies. As a general overview of the main Latin American output on social movement studies, this introductory chapter presents the contributions in this book under the five sections that structure this volume: first, the theoretical perspectives developed in or applied to social movements in Latin America; second, the main macro-dynamics and processes and the role of social movements from the mid-nineteenth to the early twenty-first century; third, a review of the main social movements in Latin America; fourth, an analysis of the ideational and strategic dimensions of movements; and fifth, an exploration of the interaction of movements with (formal and informal) institutional politics.

    Building Factories Without Bosses: The Movement of Worker-Managed Factories in Argentina
    (Taylor & Francis, 2015) Rossi, Federico M.
    In the 1990s and 2000s, Argentina suffered one of the quickest and most extreme processes of neoliberal state reforms in the world, leading to the closure of numerous factories. To resist the increased unemployment produced by neoliberalism, workers started to organize in a movement aimed at defending their only source of income: their labor. In this article, I analyze the main characteristics of the movement of worker-managed factories in Argentina by exploring how factories were occupied, what motivated the workers' decision to create co-operatives, what made the factories economically viable, how they were legitimated by the community, which legal reforms workers achieved to support their struggle, and how they manage their factories.

    Grievance Politics and Technocracy in a Developmental State: Healthcare Policy Reforms in Singapore
    (Wiley, 2024) Naqvi, Ijlal; Rossi, Federico M.; Kay Jin Tan, Rayner; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7351-8482; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9188-3368
    This article uses a process-tracing approach to understand changes in Singapore's health sector from the start of self-rule in 1959 to the end of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2022. Singapore is a developmental state recognized for its effective management of healthcare costs and its lack of political freedom. In both respects, the ‘Singapore model’ is of interest to other cities and nations. The standard narrative is one of technocratic proficiency in a context in which civic freedoms are heavily constrained, but this article identifies the surprisingly important role of social voices at key moments. It finds episodes in which effective changes to social policies are not the product of a state embedded in an organized society, but rather are influenced by the independent organizational capacity of certain social groups providing inputs to state elites on social grievances and policy needs. Effective policy changes require a responsive state elite that — even if it is technocratically dominated, as is the case in Singapore — can listen to social claims and provide answers that are not repressive. The article conceptualizes these dynamics as ‘grievance politics’ and shows their role in explaining health reforms. It contributes to understanding global health systems and policy making in developmental states by a fruitful cross-fertilization with social movement studies.

    Acerca del rol de los movimientos sociales, sindicatos y redes de activistas en los procesos de democratización.
    (Instituto de Desarrollo Económico y Social. Argentina, 2011-01-16) Rossi, Federico M.; Della Porta, Donatella
    Este artículo analiza la poco estudiada relación entre los procesos de democratización y los movimientos sociales, ciclos de protesta, oleadas de huelga y redes transnacionales de resistencia a regímenes no democráticos. Primero presenta la visión existente sobre los movimientos sociales en la literatura sobre democratización, señalando el limitado rol que le es asignado por los principales enfoques: la teoría de la modernización, la perspectiva histórica de clase y la transitología. A continuación se concentra en la visión de la democratización dentro de la literatura sobre movimientos sociales, donde el enfoque de los nuevos movimientos sociales enfatiza las características innovadoras, la dimensión post- materialista y no estado-céntrica de los movimientos durante la democratización; y el enfoque del proceso político considera a la democratización como un producto de la interacción entre las negociaciones de élites y loš procesos de movilización. Luego de realizar una revisión de las diferentes perspectivas, los autores proponen una organización analítica de los diferentes roles que los movimientos sociales, sindicatos, redes de activistas y ciclos de protesta juegan en el proceso dinámico, contingente y contencioso de formación de la democracia. Para ilustrar el debate se recurre a casos de América Latina, el sur de Europa y Europa oriental con el fin de mostrar los diversos roles jugados por los movimientos sociales, dependiendo del tipo de proceso de democratización y la etapa en la que se movilizan (resistencia, liberalización, transición, consolidación, expansión

    Trust and social movements: A new research agenda
    (Sage Journals, 2024) Weipert-Fenner, Irene; Rossi, Federico M.; Sika, Nadine; Wolff, Jonas; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1225-5230; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7348-7206
    Social movement studies clearly suggest that trust matters for processes of social mobilization: When engaging in costly, and potentially risky, contentious collective action on a common goal, activists and groups rely on the expectation that fellow protestors and allies will not fail them. To date, however, we lack research that explains which types of trust shape the emergence and evolution of social movements. Trust, we argue, is not simply an independent variable influencing mobilization, but is itself shaped—built, stabilized, weakened, or even destroyed—over the course of collective contentious action. To set the stage for a corresponding research agenda, this introduction to the special issue “Trust and Social Movements” bridges the gap between research on trust and social movement studies and clarifies the complex conceptual relationship between various types of trust and the dynamics of social mobilization. Furthermore, we identify overarching research questions, summarize the contributions to the special issue, and discuss key findings.

    Democracy as a trust-building learning process: Organizational dilemmas in social movements
    (Sage Journals, 2024) Rossi, Federico M.
    Combining agonistic pluralism and social movements literature with trust studies, I propose a conceptualization for how the organizational dilemma is tackled in social movements. Defined as a trust-building organizational learning process, I show the role-played by social trust—meaning, the construction of the relational boundaries of a shared goal without diluting the heterogeneity of self-identities and interests—as an organizational prerequisite for democratic organization of a political group. Empirically, I identify four alternative pathways to the (democratic) organizational dilemma: innovation through new organizational models; repetition of past experiences; reformulation of practices; and emulation of previous organizational models.

    Social Movements and Capitalist Models of Development in Latin America
    (Oxford University Press, 2023-05-22) Rossi, Federico M.
    Social movements are crucial actors in producing transformations in society. One important dimension in this regard is certainly capitalism. The goal of this chapter is to analyze social movement dynamics across the capitalist models of development that predominated in Latin America from independence from colonial rule until the early twenty-first century. This is done through the lens of a political economy of social movements, understood as the substantive and theoretical recoupling of the political and economic spheres in the relational study of social movements and capitalist dynamics. If an economically determinist approach is avoided and the North Atlantic mainstream narrative is decentered, a political economy of social movements reveals multiple struggles for the expansion of the socio-political arena and the resistance to this expansion with plutocratic retrenchment periods that contract that arena. In Latin America there has been an enormous development of research since the 1980s linked to protest and the transformations of capitalism. However, this accumulated research has not yet been systematized into models of development to understand the impact of capitalism on social movements, and even less so, the role played by social movements and protests in economic change.
