Intermunicipality in the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires. An Analysis of twoexperiences of municipal associativism
Abstract
This article focuses on the two most significant cases of
intermunicipal associativism in the Metropolitan Area of
Buenos Aires. The review of the genesis of the projects, their
agenda and work dynamics, the scope of their policies, the
political relations they implied and the causes of decline,
allow us to think over the possibilities that this institutional
arrangement presents as a management tool for the
metropolitan issue in Buenos Aires. The formalization of
the consortia, the delimitation of their scope and objectives,
the promotion and financing policies by the higher levels of
government and the participation of strategic, non-governmental
actors for development, are the keys to think intermunicipalities
that can be sustained over the time.
