FABIAN, Giuliano Ernesto. State Mutations and the Formosa Hydrocarbon Complex. Semest. Econ. [online]. 2019, vol.22, n.53, pp.215-241. ISSN 0120-6346.  https://doi.org/10.22395//seec.v22n53a9.

The present work analyzes the mutation process of the State and the dynamics of fragmented productivist public policies, which are coupled with alterations, continuities and reinforcements in the hydrocarbon complex of Formosa, Argentina, in the framework of its intra-national and supranational peripheral insertion between 1991-2012. Following a methodology that combines documentary sources with quantitative data, the provincial State, mutating new economic functions with frameworks that are similar to what Jessop calls the Workfare State. In this process, how dynamics of the folding of fragmentary productivist public policies configure a neoliberal scalar regulatory pattern in the hydrocarbon complex, which facilitates the penetration of big capital, control and management of assets such as oil and its extractive-export exploitation are studied. This logic of accumulation leads to the emergence of asymmetrical power relations in the political, economic and social spheres. Thus, the economic-territorial space under study is transformed with the continuity of persistent inequalities.
