| Summary: | This work studies the impact of new economic policies introduced in theRio de la Plataarea since the revolutionary period on corporate land-holding institutions. The case under analysis is the Indian Mission of San Ignacio de los Tobas, located on theEastern Chacofrontier, which experienced a process of land sale and final liquidation between 1816 and 1821. Two different economic logics were confronted in the process of liquidation of theMission: One stood for the dismantling of corporate institutions and immediate land sales to public bidders, the other proposed the full restoration of theMissionas a corporate land-holding institution, though within a republican political framework that helped undermine its legitimacy.
