Sumario:The development programs for Patagonia had a marked strategic-military component, which com­bined the economic growth of "backward" regions with the security pretensions of the “Argentine Revolu­tion". To do this, they aimed to decentralize the industrial activity of the big capitals and encouraged the settlement of the Patagonian "desert" to reaffirm national sovereignty. The creation of a Development Pole in the Northeast of Chubut transformed the socio-economic structure of the region, and stimulated the de­velopment of new interests and social contradictions. In this article we will address some implications of this industrialization, especially the triangulation between the provincial state, businessmen and labor unions. That was the dominant social force that outlined the main axes of industrialization and exercised the necessary political lobbying to get the support of the local population; while in parallel disputed with other regional bourgeoisies the redistribution of resources from the National State that meant the industrial promotion regimes.
