Abstract
ROUGIER, Marcelo and ODISIO, Juan. The “Swan Song” of Argentinian Industrialization. Performance and Alternatives in the Final Stage of ISI. rev.estud.soc. [online]. 2019, n.68, pp.51-67. ISSN 0123-885X. https://doi.org/10.7440/res68.2019.05.
This paper analyzes the final stage of Import Substitution Industrialization in Argentina, which took place between 1960 and 1975. We present, on the one hand, the gains and structural constraints of this process and, on the other, we retrieve some economic policy ideas and definitions that sought to address these constraints. In the first case, we highlight the positive evolution of some aspects (such as manufacture exports, changes in the internal composition of the sector and the development of large projects in basic industry) that inform about the maturation of the industrial process. Regarding the ideas, we analyze how the intellectual contributions and debates reveal a relative consensus around the need to strengthen the industrial presence in external markets and thus overcome the traditional substitution strategy identified with the original proposals of the Economic Commission for Latin America (ECLAC).
