These new co-operatives became actors not just in production but in social struggle. Their peculiarity lies in the fact that they shape a socio-productive form not structured by wage relations: workers are at the same time owners of the firms. Why, how, and by what cleavages and groupings do these co-operative workers without bosses come into conflict?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword The Democratisation of Conflict\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Figures, Tables and Images\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e 1 The Question of Work Conflicts in New Co-operatives\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 2 Dimensions of New Social Conflicts in Co-operative Socio-productive Contexts\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 3 The Challenge of Comparing Paradigmatic but Non-equivalent Experiences: Studying a Whole That Acts as a Whole\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 4 The Structure of the Book\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1  Co-operatives ‘Made in Argentina’ The Process of Enterprise Recuperation by Their Workers\u003cbr\u003e 1 The Socio-genesis of the Processes of Enterprise Recuperation\u003cbr\u003e 1.1  When Worker Resistance Becomes an Offensive Movement\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 1.2  The Widespread Crisis of 2001–2002, or Adding Fuel to the Fire\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 1.3  The Movement of the Flames\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 2 The Evolution of Enterprise Recuperation Processes\u003cbr\u003e 2.1  The Fuel of the Growing Economy Keeps the Flames of Production Moving\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 2.2  The Moral Economy of Work in the Continued Presence of Enterprise Recuperations\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 2.3  “Argentina Is One Big, Recuperated Factory”: Public Policies for Recuperated Enterprises\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 2.4  The Movement’s Fragmentation, Co-operative Convergence and Union Rapprochement\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2  Incubated Co-operatives Co-operative Formation under the Argentina Works Programme\u003cbr\u003e 1 Social Schemes with Work Requirement: From Workfare to the Argentina Works Programme\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 2 The Mediation of Unemployed Workers’ Organisations: Civil Associations, Productive Units and Co-operatives\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 3 The Dual Logic of the Argentina Works Programme’s Socio-genesis: Creating Jobs and Co-ordinating Local Politics\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 4 Induced Co-operatives?
