The Crisis in Industrial Structure in Argentina: Lessons for Development Policy and Practice (original) (raw)

Abstract: This paper provides a perspective on Argentina's recent economic and political crisis, which has been viewed by many commentators with a resigned hopelessness, amid often-fierce debate over where things have gone wrong. The Argentinian case is particularly pertinent because the country's apparent reversal of fortunes has been so dramatic; less than ten years ago it was seen as a 'model student'of the international organisations and considered a great hope for Latin American development.
