The relations between the economic elites and the governments and right-wing parties in democratic Argentina are multiple and heterogeneous as is the business community itself. This chapter aims to identify milestones or key moments of political activation of the sector throughout the 40 years of democracy in which it promoted or managed to lead right-wing política! projects (neoconservative or neo liberal). Likewise, it is proposed to discuss the type of political representation of the business sector that was consolidated in the period, apparently in transition from a corporatist model to one of the parties. The heterogeneity, dynamism, and differentiated linkage with política! processes are also changing in Argentina and are o:ften opposed to each other, making it difficult to select a predominant type of representation, let alone a model sustained over timeEl libro contó con el referato de Sandra Mc Gee Deustch y David Rock
