Abstract

ESPONDA, María Alejandra. Development, environment and society in the Techint group's managemental discourse. Trab. soc. [online]. 2011, n.16, pp.53-63. ISSN 1514-6871.

In this article I will analyze how preoccupations linked to the notions of development, environment and social impact of large-scale projects have been incorporated in a type of materialization of the managerial discourse in one of the most important domestic economic groups in this matter -which also features transnational relevance-: the Techint Group. On the other hand, the analysis of a current conflic, regarding a real-estate mega project located in the lands of the Ceamse (Municipalities Quilmes and Avellaneda, Buenos Aires, Argentina) allows us to analyze a paradigmatic case of employers' liability regarding environmental and social degradation; the ways in which it was denied at the present, alleging to be in the pursuit of "development"; simultaneously it allows to view the conflicts and disputes that have rose between businessmen, politicians and diverse sectors of the civil society.

Keywords : Development; Environment; Society; Employers.
