The time period under review was a turning point between the collapsing Bretton Woods regime dominated by multilateral and bilateral sources of external financing, and the consolidation of unregulated private banking finance that prevailed until the onset of the Latin American debt crises of the 1980s. It preceded the neoliberal program of Minister of Economy Martínez de Hoz during Argentina?s last military dictatorship of 1976-83.The discussion draws for the first time on a wide range of foreign and national private, multilateral and public records. It pursues and refines earlier scholarly analyses which have argued that this interlude was a frustrated effort to adapt to the most recent globalization of international finance and break with a previous dependency towards multilateral financial institutions dating to the late 1950s. In doing so it maintains that such failure set the stage for the controversial restoration of Argentina?s international relations during the early years of the military dictatorship.El texto completo de la ponencia se ha cargado en este SIGEVA, en formato pdf.
