【 摘 要 】

The introduction of neoliberal policies had impacts on social movements, undermining their organizational capacity and resistance. However, since the mid-1990s a number of instances of mobilization against neoliberalism have emerged, among which we highlight two: the piqueteros (movements of the unemployed in Argentina) and the anti-globalization movement. Based on the research we are developing, this article discusses the emergence and the social composition of each, as well as the elements that distinguish them as movements that were formed as a result of, and in reaction to, neoliberalism.
