“…The second line of interpretation mirrors the one suggested by the English historian Henry Finch (1980) for the government of President José Batlle y Ordóñez during the early 20th century. Finch argued that reforms and the expansion of citizen rights were possible due to an implicit pact made with landowners.…”

“…In other words, we will consider as a family producer every farm in which 50%, or more, of the labour force is made up of family members or unpaid labourers.

“…Finch argued that reforms and the expansion of citizen rights were possible due to an implicit pact made with landowners. Reforms were to be accepted as long as the agrarian structure remained unchanged, while the resources raised from the export of agricultural goods would fund the reforms (Finch, ). One hundred years later, the same interpretation can be applied to assess the relation of the FA (and its agrarian and agricultural policy) with the landowning classes and foreign capital that have been investing in agribusiness.…”

In this paper, we propose three lines of interpretation to understand the actions of the Frente Amplio (FA) in Uruguay, which after more than 10 years in power has not transformed the uneven agrarian structure that it inherited. We suggest that in order to gain access to power, the FA opted to move to the centre of the political spectrum and implement agrarian policies in which agribusiness and family farming coexist. Another possible interpretation to understanding the absence of a policy more focused on supporting family farming, and on limiting the expansion of the financial capital and transnational corporations, is to see it as resulting from the internal tensions within the coalition. However, the FA, in accordance with its own history, did carry out a policy of protection and promotion of labour and civil rights of rural wage workers.

“…Les soubresauts de l'économie mondiale, les périodes fastes, plutôt de courte durée, étant suivies par des crises plus ou moins longues, affectent l'Uruguay [Morales, 2007 ;Barrán, Nahum, 1967-1977Finch, 1980 ;Garavaglia, 2000]. Cette alternance s'inscrit dans la durée historique et est un élément-clé de compréhension des stratégies d'adaptation du monde rural, issu, comme le reste de la population uruguayenne, de la colonisation européenne.…”

Depuis le début du troisième millénaire, l’Uruguay connaît un développement soutenu des investissements sud-américains aussi bien dans la production agricole que dans la transformation agroalimentaire. Les facteurs de l’installation de ces acteurs venus, principalement, d’Argentine et du Brésil sont analysés ainsi que les impacts, marquants, sur l’utilisation du sol, l’organisation des filières, les structures de production, la gouvernance de l’agriculture et la société rurale dans son ensemble.

“…La bibliografía consultada (ASTORI, 2005;FINCH, 1980) coincide en afirmar que el carácter estructural de la crisis se refería a una modificación radical en el mercado mundial, en la inserción internacional del país y en la quiebra definitiva de la construcción económica de larga duración que había demostrado capacidad de ajuste ante coyunturas adversas. Y comienza en forma más notoria la lucha por la apropiación de un excedente económico estancado: especulación, y corporativización de las relaciones políticas y sociales que se manifiesta en el descontento de los ganaderos, de los industriales, y de los trabajadores.…”
