GARCIA, Ariel Oscar. Multi-scalarity and neoliberalization. Notions and experiences for a policy of scales in Argentina and Brazil. Econ. soc. territ [online]. 2022, vol.22, n.70, pp.951-981.  Epub Nov 14, 2022. ISSN 2448-6183.  https://doi.org/10.22136/est20221750.

This research addresses the construction of scale politics that unfolds at the intersection between the demands for employment and credit of subaltern subjects and state-local management at the beginning of the 21st century. From a multi-scalar approach, a qualitative methodology is used from which case studies are presented in Argentina (Fondo de Financiamiento Solidario) and Brazil (Banco Comunitario Popular). This article concludes that local state initiatives meeting such demands should consider the macro-policies that promote the neoliberalization of social relationships as well as their reproduction among subalternate subjects.

Keywords : multi-scalarity; scale politics; neoliberalization; subaltern subjects; South America.
