Brasil, Argentina e América do Sul

Abstract

ESTE trabalho discute alguns aspectos da evolução econômica recente do Brasil, da Argentina e de outros países da América do Sul. Tendências econômicas e intelectuais perigosas, tais como a "globalização", o chamado Consenso de Washington, a dolarização e as negociações da Alca (Área de Livre Comércio das Américas), perderam ímpeto e a América do Sul está se movendo gradualmente na direção de um posicionamento mais independente na condução das suas política econômicas e internacionais. As mudanças foram muito mais significativas na Argentina do que no Brasil e isso se tornou fonte de alguma tensão entre os dois principais países sul-americanos. Não obstante, uma aliança estratégica entre Argentina e Brasil continua sendo a pedra angular da integração da América do Sul.<br>THIS PAPER discusses some aspects of the recent economic evolution of Brazil, Argentina and other South American countries. Dangerous economic and intellectual trends, such as "globalization", the so-called Washington Consensus, dollarization, and FTAA (Free Trade Area of the Americas) negotiations, have lost momentum and South America is moving gradually towards a more independent stance in the conduct of its economic and foreign policies. Changes have been much more significant in Argentina than in Brazil and this has become a source of some tension between the two major South American countries. Nevertheless, a strategic alliance between Argentina and Brazil remains the corner stone of South American integration

Comparative capitalisms and Latin American neodevelopmentalism: A critical political economy view

“…Not only does it figure extensively in the empirical studies conducted by researchers associated with VoCD-LA, but some analysts even consider it a particularly successful instance of neodevelopmentalism, especially during the earlier years of this political project (see e.g. Batista Jr. 2005;Bresser-Pereira 2010: 47f, 119). I will first provide a short general sketch of the recent trajectory, before turning to a critical evaluation, focusing as an example on the problems that beset a more beneficial competitive insertion of Argentinian producers into the global economy.…”
