The Social Bases of Macrism: Actions and Claims of the Argentine Bourgeoisie, 2009-2015

We intend to analyze the claims and actions of the agricultural and industrial fractions of the Argentine ruling class between 2008 and 2015 with the aim of reconstructing the origin of the alliance that drove the political change implemented in 2015. We will analyze the actions of the agricultural and industrial interest groups and the fronts common to both; to do this we will combine a qualitative methodology (to analyze positions and alliances) with a quantitative one (to analyze the protests). We will reconstruct diverse moments of conflict such as the agrarian dispute of 2008, the agrarian protests from 2009 to 2015, the formation of an industrial opposition, and the convergence of both factions in the 2014 Business Convergence Forum, in which different fractions of the ruling class broke up with the government headed by Fernandez de Kirchner and went on to form the opposition alliance This reconstruction will allow us to affirm, in contrast to the dominant interpretations, that the main component of the government ́s opposition is not the agricultural bourgeoisie, whose weakness was evident in its inability to set itself up as a political alternative after 2008, but the big industrial bourgeoisie that as a result of joining the opposition in 2013 was able to tip the scales and trigger political change.
