Abstract

ROSSI DELANEY, Santiago. A proyect for the Argentinian Nation: The Rivadavia's politics and the Nation‐ State, 1821‐1828. Trab. soc. [online]. 2016, n.27, pp.255-267. ISSN 1514-6871.

In this article, we inquiry the social basis of Rivadavia's politics, considering the elaboration and conformation of a national project which tried to include all the Provincias Unidas del Río de la Plata in one political structure. Our national historiography focused on the reforms and transformations of the period: the clerical, electoral and military reforms, also some important resolutions such as the enfiteusis and the Baring Brother's loan in 1824. However, there's no a balance sheet of the Rivadavia's politics, which allow us to understand the social character of the Unitarismo's project. We therefore try to reveal if there was an organic connection between the different politics, considering the enfiteusis, the Baring Brother's loan and the war against Brazil as the main steps of the project. In regard to enfiteusis, we will use the information of the leasing of lands of the Escribanía General of the Buenos Aires' Government, with the purpose of analyze the consequences of its application in that province and the attempt of imposing the enfiteusis all around the nation. Attending to Baring Brother's loan, we compare the incomes and expenses as a result of its contract, with the State's budget of the Cuentas Mayores de Caja y Contaduría de Buenos Aires, in order to calculate the importance of the loan and its cancellation regarding to the money under control of the Estate. Finally, we will refer to the War against Brazil, a conflict which tested the national project. We will analyze the Listas de Revistas and the expenses destined to war, in order to enquiry the Estate efforts in the conflict and its importance in the destiny of the national project.
