Argentinien und Lateinamerika in der neuen Weltwirtschaftskrise

Abstract

Argentina and Latin America in the current Global Economic Crisis. This article analyses some of the political changes in Argentina, and Latin America more broadly, brought about by the new world crisis. By recalling some of the characteristics of financial globalisation in the nineteen-eighties and -nineties, the article highlights how an understanding of the past can help in an analysis of our current crisis. It investigates how Argentina and other countries of Latin America were incorporated into financial globalisation during this period and how they dealt with the subsequent crises. Furthermore it analyses how this involvement has changed from the end of the last to the beginning of the current century. Finally, various hypotheses regarding how the current financial crisis will impact Argentina and other Latin American countries are proposed.
