Modes of neighborhood self-government and public policies in popular neighborhoods (Salta- Argentina)

Abstract

In this article we will try to think about some practices of organization and management of resources developed by referents of Popular Neighborhoods of Salta capital, we talk about practices framed in the planning and execution of public social and urban policies, analyzed from a government key, with cleavage territorial. The development of self-managed work by referents of the Barrios Populares communities and collaborators, as well as dialogue, modes of work and pressure on the provincial and municipal State, is circumscribed within the framework of a broad struggle developed by the poorest communities from among the poor, in northern Argentina, for the exercise of fundamental rights. We understand some of these practices as neighborhood self-government tactics. The analytical and descriptive treatment of this work is developed by codifying discursive and extra-discursive aspects through the instrumentation of official government documents, local and national newspapers, to the extent that passages from field logs are codified. From there we position ourselves from a qualitative perspective and articulate resources from Social Sciences and Political Philosophy.
