Abstract

Abstract This research examines the experience of the major political regimes in Argentina between 1950 and 1970 in the light of the attempts to move Argentina to a more favorable position within the changing international division of labor. Each regime is studied in terms of the class alliances, government economic policy, the role of foreign direct investment, and trends in national development. The crucial problems involve the promotion of non-traditional exports through domestic manufacturing without hindering the traditional agro-export sector. This problem is further complicated by the dependence on foreign investment which tends to be prejudicial to locally owned firms which account for higher wages and greater employment. Argentina, as one of the most industrialized of the underdeveloped countries, provides an important series of experiments in the struggle to develop within the new international division of labor.
