Continuidades y rupturas en la movilización de inmuebles y suelo público: la Agencia de Administración de Bienes del Estado (2012-2019)

Abstract

This article focuses on the institutional development
of Argentina’s government Agency of Real Estate
Management, highlighting continuities and ruptures
therein vis-á-vis previous experiences in land management
and real estate public administration at the national level.
Three moments are identified in this development: the
civic-military dictatorship (1976-1983), the first Menem
government (1989-1995) and the 2012-2019 period.
This last stage has been marked by a process of centraliza
tion in the administration and management of public land
and real estate, together with a significant increase in the
volume of the involved assets. These modifications took
place in the particular context of a political opportunity
that complemented the launch of the Pro.Cre.Ar Plan. A
systematic analysis of successive government regulations,
a review of specialized bibliography and a number of in
depth interviews supported our discussion and findings.
