Post-Neoliberal Developmental Regimes in Latin America: Argentina under Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner

• In Event: Argentina since the 2001 Crisis: Recovering the Past, Reclaiming the Future

Abstract

This paper seeks to analyse the concept of post-neoliberalism through state theory, grounded in an understanding of the state as an historical institution influenced by both domestic and international forces. This theoretical exercise is complemented with a discussion of contemporary Argentina under the Presidency of Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner (CFK), demonstrating that focus on a ‘developmental regime tripod’ reveals underlying tensions in the post-neoliberal model as a result of a desire to 'deepen that model' combined with shifts in the nature of IPE in the wake of the global financial crisis.
