Edward Brudney
Kellogg Visiting Fellow

Changing the Rules of the Game examines the creation, enactment, and application of labor law in Argentina during the tumultuous "long" 1970s (1973-1983). Against a backdrop of economic turmoil, armed leftist guerrillas, political upheaval, and the bloodiest military dictatorship in Argentine history, state authorities, employers, union leaders, and rank-and-file workers all fought over how practices of work would be structured--and, by extension, how the boundaries of citizenship would be defined and contested. In this presentation, Dr. Brudney will share the introduction to his monograph, laying out the book's arguments, theoretical stakes, and historical background.
