Abstract

Argentina has been going through a period of stagnation and a trend towards crisis since 2012. How to explain its duration, development and dynamics? This article will try to do so starting from the relationship between economics and politics that characterizes the period. The stagnation and the crisis find their structural causes in the tendency towards the external crisis of the Argentine economy in a context of global pressures for restructuring and the depletion of the local productive base. But this objective pressure for restructuring develops within a framework of social power relations that blocks attempts to advance in said process. The successive strategies and failures of governments to respond to the contradiction between accumulation and legitimation allow us to account for the development and phases of the period opened in 2012.
