THE STATE TERRITORIAL INTERVENTION IN POVERTY IN ARGENTINA (2008-2015)

Abstract

It article addresses the way in which the Argentine National State conceives and regulates specific territorialites within the framework of the social policies of the last decade, more especificaly, between the years 2008 to 2015. Based on a qualitative approach, which combines documental analisys and in-deep interviews, we enquiried into the nature of the State interventions on the territory, that took place following the national programme called “Plan Ahí”. The research claims that “Plan Ahí” is a governmental intervention that operates as an organizer model of the state practices, aimed at transforming the direction and meaning of territorial approach interventions, and to reverse the effects of a supposed State absence.
