CASTELNUOVO BIRABEN, Natalia. The ethnography of negotiations, agreements, and alliances between provincial politicians and NGO in northeast Argentina. Espiral (Guadalaj.) [online]. 2016, vol.23, n.65, pp.165-200. ISSN 1665-0565.

This article explores the role of the negotiations, agreements and alliances between politicians and non-gobernamental organizations in the chaco salteño region. It derives from an investigation focused on the processes of participation of the indigenuos populations of the region, and, specifically, from the ethnographic description of an event placed in the Mesa de Tierra, place of zonal organization where NGO, community and indigenous and creole organization leaders and state functionaries, among others, coalesce. The objective is to describe the relationships established between NGO and provincial politicians, and the role of the latter as support to the local development. It concludes that these relationships promote negotiations, agreements, and alliances, in particular with political parties.

Keywords : Non-governmental religious organizations; political parties; development policies; chaco salteño; Argentina.
