This article analyzes the Road Blockade Movement, which is one of the most significant social phenomena in Argentina in the 1990s since it has adopted a neo-liberal economy policy. Argentinean major newspapers highlighted the movement unemployed people’s movement, hence, considering the phenomena as a social reaction to the adjustment policy. The principal questions here are how and why this movement emerged and developed. To answer these questions, this research reveals that individual motivation of each participant towards the movement had a great positive impact. This paper consists of the following chapters. It begins by laying out the overview of the movement developing process. Chapter one describes the first wave of the movement which started in the regional areas having been affected by the privatization. Chapter two addresses the second wave which took place around the capital city of Buenos Aires, in which the movement of the organizations developed from the mere community in the neighboring region to social and political group broader in its size. Chapter three describes a declining process of the movement. Finally, the conclusion tries to re-estimate the movement’s rise and fall on the basis of the relative deprivation theory, which explains the importance of the personal motivation awoken by the government’s reaction to the movement
