During the negotiations for the Free Trade Area of the Americas
(FTAA), the Argentinean and Mexican labour movements exhibited
contrasting responses to the proposed free trade agreement. While
Argentinean labour staged an aggressive anti-FTAA campaign, its
Mexican counterpart displayed relative quiescence. This work
applies the political opportunity structures model to determine if
it can explain the differing patterns of mobilization of
Argentinean and Mexican labour. This work examines the structures
of opportunity that emerged after the 1982 debt crisis and those
created by the process of Latin American economic integration. Such
process has created national and transnational opportunity
structures, allowing national movements to engage in transnational
activism. An analysis of the suitability of the opportunity
structures model to account for the mobilization of Argentinean and
Mexican labour, should shed light on the model's capacity to
analyze movements that are becoming increasingly transnational.
This work should be especially useful to students of social
movements and to anyone interested in Latin American regional
economic integration.
