Dünya sistemleri yaklaşımı ve sistem karşıtı hareketler: Arjantin'deki Piqueteros vakası

This thesis represents the social consequence of the systemic bifurcation of unequal development of capitalism towards peripheries since the neoliberal implementations of 1980s. From this point of view, the research question enquires that how does world systems approach contribute to the understanding of neoliberal deterioration in the world system, and under what circumstances do systemic cracks pave the way for the emergence of antisystemic social movements in Argentina? Thus, my argument is that implementations of the structural adjustment programs in Argentina since 1980s have evolved a direct relationship between deterioration in social standards and the dynamic growth of barrio-based mass movements and their centralization in the urban areas in 2001. In order to develop this purpose, theoretical structure comprises the world-systems approach. Within this framework, the following attempt is to clarify the antisystemic social movements as the consequence of systemic deterioration on the basis of world-system approach. Consequently, the case study of Piqueteros/ Unemployed Workers' Movement in Argentina demonstrates the failure of neoliberal structural adjustments in a peripheral state of the capitalist world system.
