Resumen
BRESSAN, Raquel V. National Congress and projects for railways construction in the Litoral. Corrientes and Entre Ríos, 1862-1880. Folia [online]. 2014, n.22, pp.43-64. ISSN 0325-8238.
This article discusses the development of railway projects in the provinces of Corrientes and Entre Rios during the building of the Nation State. The analysis focuses on the parliamentary debates that took place during the decade of 1860 and 1870, and examines the role played by legislators and different actors, from the national and provincial levels, in promoting the railways designed for these provinces. Based on the analysis of sources such as the sessions of the chamber of deputies and senators, official and private correspondence and newspaper articles, it seeks to rethink the links established between the national government and the provincial elites -regarded by previous studies as cooptation relationships. In addition, it shows the interactions and conflicts between provincial and national institutions, which arbitrated the direction of public policy in the Litoral provinces.
