How did the Piquetero Movement in Argentina come about? And what did this movement  as arguably the most significant unemployed workers' movement in the world do differently to other social movements. 

In this episode Professor Lawrence Hamilton speaks with Professor Federico Rossi about social movements and political change in Argentina. They discuss the emergence of the Piquetero Movement and  the concept of Peronism in the country. 

Also, not to be missed, in our monthly feature called the Political Agenda,  political studies scholar Moshibudi Motimele looks at the ongoing war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
