Resumen:
Neodevelopmentalism is the keyword that describes Argentina?s new mode of development since 2003. Born from the ashes of neoliberalism, it has signified a wide range of policy changes that have effectively modified living conditions in the country. However, this new mode of development has been unable to transform the structural factors behind widespread inequality and poverty, and promote radical progressive social change. Our main argument is that while showing significant changes in policies (macroeconomic, social and labor) since 2003, neodevelopmentalism has not broken with the neoliberal social, political and economic structure: transnationalisation of the economy, natural resource-based growth, and extended precariousness of labor. We will show why the political ideology of the groups in power has blocked significant social change in the country, even if there are social and political movements inclined to promote and favor such changes.
