Abstract This thesis sought to answer the question, Why did the Argentine Welfare State not develop in a continuous and consistent manner? The research compared Argentina to Canada in their formative decades prior to 1930 when these two countries were on a similar path to development, and between 1930 and 1970, when the two countries appeared to follow radically divergent paths. with Argentina going into what Carlos Waisman has termed a Reversai of Development. The cornparison looked at the role two variables (political stability and structural dependency) played in fostering an environrnent of state-driven economic development consistent with a stable deveioped Welfare State. This research argues that a high degree of political instability that marked Argentina after 1930- as well as a relatively higher (than Canada) level of structural dependency in that same period, led to an unstable environment of economic development and an unfulfilled Welfare State. The first chapter looks at the relationship the thesis tries to develop between political stability and structural dependency as independent variables. and Welfare State developrnent (within the larger environment of state-driven economic development) as the dependent variable. This chapter also introduces sorne of the models, or approaches, that will be used to help establish this relationship. Lands of Recent Settlement, political stability (Le. labour relations, the military etc.). and structural dependency are some of the models and approaches that will be drawn upon. The second chapter compares Argentina and Canada in the formative decades prior to 1930. Many parallels are drawn between these two countries which were both on the doorstep of economic take-off into industrial developrnent. This chapter also highlights a couple of unique differences between the two countries, differences which could be seen as catalysts to the divergence between the two countries after 1930. The political exclusion of labour (and the iii middle-classes, at least to 19 16) was relatively more extreme than in Canada. The second difference is the more active role of the Canadian state in economic development compared to Argentina The third chapter looks at the two countries afier 1930 when they pursued more radically divergent paths to development. or underdevelopment in the case of Argentina. This chapter looks at the political environment of the two countries, highlighting the much more conflictual nature of the Argentine polity as compared to the more stable cooperative Canadian polity. The effects of trade and investrnent in the two countries, by Britain and the U.S., is also discussed, highlighting the more circurnscribed Argentine attempts at industrialization. The picture is drawn of Argentina as a much more politically unstable country than Canada, with less control over its path to economic development. The fourth chapter looks at the actual evolution of the Welfare State in each country, and how this reflected upon the politico-economic environment in each country at the time. The cornparison that is drawn is of an Argentine Welfare State that did not deveiop, taking two steps fonvard and then two steps back, whereas the Canadian Welfare State slowly progressed, albeit in spurts, to a Ievel of development far greater than that in Argentina. The conclusion argues that this thesis has shown that it was a level of accommodation and consensus in the Canadian polity, especially with regards to the established tradition of state activism in Canadian economic development, that contributed greatly to the formation of a stable developed Welfare State. Because Argentina lacked accommodation between major actors, and did not establish an active state role in the economic development of the country, leaving it to foreign interests. it could not establish the conditions necessary for a stable Welfare State to develop. Areas for future research include Argentina and Canada's economic, social, and political position today. Does Argentina's curent politico-economic environment reflect a conscious move to address the difficulties of the past environment? 1s Canada going through a iv crisis of consensus which will jeopardize economic development directed fiom within, and consequently the Canadian welfare state? DEDICATION For Mom, Dad, and L ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This work was a collective undertaking dependent upon the assistance of many people. The author would like to express his deepest gratitude to Professors Alberto Ciria and Paddy Smith for their encouragement and unfailingly helpfül feedback and contribution to this thesis. Iwouid also like to thank the faculty and staff of the Political Science Department Last but not least, an unpayable debt of gratitude is owed to my family and friends who never stopped believing that I could actually complete it. vii Bartolomé Miire 1867-68 miliîary victory Domingo F.

Although many officials in the Department of External Affairs believed that a continental free trade agreement was in Canada’s best interests, King confided to his diary that he could not let the negotiations go forward because a successful outcome would destroy the British Empire and Commonwealth: ‘I am sure in so doing, I have made one of the most important decisions for Canada, for the British Commonwealth of Nations that has been made at any time.’1 In October 1949, while being fêted in London, Prime Minister Sydney Holland of New Zealand, made one of his characteristic spontaneous and ill considered statements. He declared, ‘I want the people of Britain to know that we will send all the food that they need, even if we have to send it free’.2 These two stories tell historians a lot.

In that time frame, Canada’s China policy would undergo many different shifts. A close examination shows that these shifts were closely linked to the shifting attitudes of successive Canadian leaders. Four different prime ministers would serve in office during Canada’s recognition process, and the inauguration of each prime minister signaled a shift in Canada’s China policy. The issue of recognizing the People’s Republic of China was intertwined with several other issues that were important to Canada. Among these were the economic potential of China, Canada’s need for collective agreements to ensure its security, the desire of the United States to influence Canadian policy, and the desire of Canadian officials to demonstrate the independence of Canadian policy. Of the four prime ministers, three – Louis St.

  • Canada's Response to the 1968 Soviet Invasion of Czechoslovakia
    Canada’s Response to the 1968 Soviet Invasion of Czechoslovakia: An Assessment of the Trudeau Government’s First International Crisis by Angus McCabe A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2019 Angus McCabe ii Abstract The new government of Pierre Trudeau was faced with an international crisis when, on 20 August 1968, the Soviet Union invaded Czechoslovakia. This study is the first full account of the Canadian government’s response based on an examination of the archival records of the Departments of External Affairs, National Defence, Manpower and Immigration, and the Privy Council Office. Underlying the government’s reaction were differences of opinion about Canada’s approach to the Cold War, its role at the United Nations and in NATO, the utility of the Department of External Affairs, and decisions about refugees. There was a delusory quality to each of these perspectives. In the end, an inexperienced government failed to heed some of the more competent advice it received concerning how best to meet Canada’s interests during the crisis. National interest was an understandable objective, but in this case, it was pursued at Czechoslovakia’s expense. iii Acknowledgements As anyone in my position would attest, meaningful work with Professor Norman Hillmer brings with it the added gift of friendship. The quality of his teaching, mentorship, and advice is, I suspect, the stuff of ages. I am grateful for the privilege of his guidance and comradeship. Graduate Administrator Joan White works kindly and tirelessly behind the scenes of Carleton University’s Department of History.

  • The Inadmissible Turned History the 1902 Law of Residence and the 1910 Law of Social Defense
    Sociedad (B. Aires) vol.3 no.se Buenos Aires 2007 The inadmissible turned history the 1902 Law of Residence and the 1910 Law of Social Defense Gabriela Anahí Costanzo ∗∗∗ ABSTRACT The Residence Law, passed in 1902, and the Social Defense Law of 1910 allowed for many years the deportation of hundreds of foreign anarchists and unionists, resulting in a great diversity of penalties and bans. The parliamentary debates in those years, viewed through the parliamentary record of proceedings, allows access to a universe of representations that the ruling class had on the anarchists and consequently on social conflict. “When the State persecutes those who fight it, it’s because the people are listening to their reasons. If this were not so, the State would just ignore them” Joaquín Hucha , “ A través del año 1911 ”, La Protesta, from Montevideo, December 26, 1911. I In the early 20 th Century, the National Congress of Argentina passed the Law of Residence (1902) and the Law of Social Defense (1910), two crucial laws for history in general and for workers’ struggles in particular. It was a time marked by the arrival of thousands of European immigrants who joined Argentina’s labor market. The men and women involved in this process had escaped unemployment, starvation, wars, and poverty, and believed they would make a fresh start and find new opportunities in a new nation. The so-called founding fathers had begun to foster immigration as early as 1853. The Preamble to the Constitution of that same year issued a call for workers to integrate into the country.

  • Proyecto De Declaracin
    Senado de la Nación Secretaria Parlamentaria Dirección General de Publicaciones (S-2415/10) PROYECTO DE DECLARACIÓN El Senado de la Nación, DECLARA: Su adhesión a la conmemoración del fallecimiento del ex presidente y jurisconsulto Roque Sáenz Peña, ocurrido el 9 de agosto de 1914, a 100 años de cumplirse la sanción de la ley de voto universal, secreto y obligatorio, conocida como la ley Sáenz Peña. Daniel R. Pérsico. – FUNDAMENTOS Señor Presidente: Roque Sáenz Peña nació en Buenos Aires el 19 de marzo de 1851. Hijo del doctor Luis Sáenz Peña y doña Cipriana Lahitte. Egresado del Colegio Nacional de Buenos Aires, ingresó a la Facultad de derecho donde comenzó su militancia política en el Partido Autonomista, dirigido por Adolfo Alsina. Sus estudios se vieron interrumpidos cuando se alistó como capitán de guardias nacionales durante la rebelión de Bartolomé Mitre contra el presidente electo Nicolás Avellaneda. Al finalizar el conflicto con el triunfo de las fuerzas leales en las que militaba, Roque fue ascendido a Comandante y continuó sus estudios hasta graduarse como doctor en leyes en 1875 con la tesis Condición jurídica de los expósitos.
