Abstract
El estallido social de fines del 2001 en la República Argentina puso en crisis la hegemonía de las políticas neoliberales que tuvieron su auge en la década del 90`, poniendo fin a un ciclo largo de acumulación, cuyo inicio suele situarse en la última dictadura militar de 1976. Se trató del fin de un conjunto de políticas económicas signadas por la desregulación y valorización financiera, la extendida apertura del comercio exterior, el endeudamiento externo, la flexibilización del mercado laboral, la privatización de empresas públicas y la paridad cambiaria entre el peso argentino y el dólar estadounidense (la llamada Ley de Convertibilidad). El abandono de este modelo se dio de forma traumática, tras el recordado “corralito bancario”, la represión policial que dejó un saldo de 39 muertes, la renuncia de cuatro presidentes en una semana y la posterior declaración de default de la deuda pública; en un contexto social con un 50% de la población bajo la línea de la pobreza y un 25% de desocupación. Por su intensidad y profundidad, este escenario crítico pareció abrir un proceso novedoso de recuperación y renovación en los años que le siguieron. La emergencia de nuevos actores en el plano político y social, en consonancia con un nuevo panorama latinoamericano, parecían augurar unos vientos de cambio históricos para el país. “Cambio es el nombre es el nombre del futuro” diría Néstor Kirchner en su discurso de asunción como presidente el 25 de mayo de 2003, mientras que “Cambiemos” se llamaría la coalición de gobierno que llevó a Mauricio Macri a la presidencia en 2015...
The social upheaval at the end of 2001 in Argentina put into crisis the hegemony of the neoliberal policies that had their peak in the 1990s, bringing to an end a long cycle of accumulation, which is often traced back to the last military dictatorship of 1976.It was the end of a set of economic policies marked by deregulation and financial valuation, the widespread opening of foreign trade, the increase in external debt, the flexibility of the labor market, the privatization of public companies and the exchange rate parity between the Argentine peso and the US dollar (the so-called Convertibility Law). The abandonment of this model occurred in a traumatic way, after the remembered “banking corralito”, the police repression that left 39 deaths, the resignation of four presidents in one week and the subsequent declaration of default on the public debt; in a social context with 50% of the population below the poverty line and 25% unemployment.Due to its intensity and depth, this critical scenario appeared to open up a novel process of recovery and renewal in the years that followed. The emergence of new actors on the political and social scene, in line with a new Latin American context, seemed to herald winds of historical change for the country. "Change is the name of the future," said Néstor Kirchner in his inaugural speech as president on May 25, 2003, while "Cambiemos" ("Let’s Change") was the name of the coalition that brought Mauricio Macri to the presidency in 2015...
