De modelos internacionales y adaptaciones locales. El proceso de movilidad de la política de distritos económicos de la ciudad de Buenos Aires (2008-2019)

Abstract

The paper analyzes the emergence and formulation of the district’s policy in the south of the city of Buenos Aires, since 2008. For this purpose, it displays the policy mobility approach, taking into account its relational and territorial dimension. From a qualitative methodological strategy, it develops a procedure for the analysis of discourses that allows to see how this policy combines elements from different globally circulating urban models, such as clusters and creative cities. Then, from the analysis of the trajectories of public agents, it sheds light on the territorial dimension of this mobility process, on its fixed and embedded in place character. In this way, the article invites us to reflect on the relations-hip between global and local processes, noting how local actors mobilize ideas, models and policies circulating in relational geographies. Likewise, it proposes a methodological approach –discourse analysis- to study the relational dimension of mobility processes.
