I am especially grateful to Prof. Robert A. Potash who gave more of himself and his time than any student might legitimately expect. At every stage in the development of this manuscript, he offered patient and constructive criticism which always bore the impress of his deep and insightful understanding of the Argentine experience. While it is difficult and perhaps even unfair to select only a few of the many Argentines who graciously aided me while I was a guest in their country, I would like to specifically thank Dr. A. J.

Buchanan, B. A., SUC at Potsdam, New York M. A. , University of Massachusetts Directed by: Dr. Robert A. Potash During the Radical Period (1916-1930), Argentina's first experiment with middle class democracy failed to provide channels for meaningful political participation on the part of the nation's lower and middle classes. Symp- tomatic of this larger failure was the inability of Argentina's political leaders and parties to provide the country with a much needed oil law prior to 1930. Subsequent to the 1907 discovery of a commercially exploitable oil deposit in Comodoro Rivadavia (Territory of Chubut) , the nation's leaders faced a problem born of the fact that the 1886 Mining Code's provisions made no allowance for the peculiarities of the petroleum industry. New legislation was needed to decide whether ownership of the deposits would remain with the provinces or be trans- ferred to the national government, to dictate precisely who would exploit the oil (the state, private interests, or some combination of the two) , and, in the case of pri- vate exploitation, to prescribe the exact conditions for concessions. vii Between 1907 and 1930, two general positions developed on this issue. That of the oil nationalists was based on the assumptions (1) that Argentina possessed vast oil re- serves which were the key to industrialization, economic independence and national defense, and (2) that the "world oil trusts" were intent upon controlling Argentina's oil for their own purposes, even if it meant disrupting the nation* s internal peace to do so. The nationalists, there- fore, supported the extension of federal control over oil deposits, state exploitation through Yacimientos Petro- liferos Fiscales (YPF) , and closely-controlled, small-scale private operations and/or mixed companies involving state and private capital. By 1927, the most ardent nationalists were demanding an integrated and exclusive state monopoly over domestic oil development. The opposing view, held by domestic conservatives and prospective foreign and national oil investors, was based on the assumption that Argentina might have important petro- leum resources, and that it was necessary to allow large private firms to work under liberal conditions in order to reveal whether the alleged oil wealth was myth or reality. That no compromise was reached between these two positions can, in large part, be attributed to the Radical Party which held national political control from 1916 to 1930, and particularly to the Yrigoyenist wing. The Vlll Yrigoyenists consistently pursued an oil policy designed to elicit electoral support, rather than one aimed at producing the necessary national legislation. The most blatant manifestation of this tendency occurred in 1927- 1928 during and after the only major oil debate before 1930. Instead of seeking a compromise solution which would have conciliated all parties and still protected the nation's interests, the Yrigoyenists stood unalterably for an exaggerated nationalist policy. They and the Indepen- dent Socialists pushed through the Chamber of Deputies a bill calling for federalization of oil deposits and a complete state oil monopoly. While the proposal had no chance of gaining Senate approval, the Yrigoyenists and the Independent Socialists used their nationalist stance effectively in the 1928 national elections. Under this legal cloud, the oil industry developed slowly. The private sector adopted a "wait and see" attitude while at times devoting considerable energy and resources to speculation in exploration rights. The state enterprise, YPF, made some remarkable advances under the guidance of the energetic and talented nationalist, General Enrique Mcsconi (1922-1930) , but it too was hindered by the absence of a clearly defined national oil policy. As a consequence, not even the combined efforts of the public and private sectors were sufficient to keep pace with the nation's expanding demand for oil and oil products. X INTRODUCTION Passage of the Saenz Pena electoral reform law in 1912 ana Hipolito Yrigoyen's election as President four years later were events hailed by Argentines and foreigners alike as giant strides toward harmonizing theory and prac- tice in the nation's political system. Fourteen years later, however, Yrigoyen was the victim of a military coup, an act whose repercussions for Argentina's political evolu- tion were to prove far more influential than those of the Saenz Pena law. Broken and defeated, the mysterious caudillo bore. with him to Martin Garcia Island the extrava- gant hopes entertained by many of his coreligionists in 1916. Argentina's experiment with Western-style middle class democracy failed to provide a political environment conducive to solving or even confronting effectively the nation's social and economic problems. experiment The urgent need for understanding why the post- failed becomes apparent after glancing at Argentina's years, only two 1930 political record. In forty-three full six-year elected presidents have managed to complete a civilians and three term, while six Chief Executives (three by military coups. military) have been ushered out of office xi Amidst this chaotic political setting, Argentina has been unable to mobilize her human and natural resources to bat- tle chronic social and economic problems. Although the origins of the country's political difficulties do not lie exclusively in the Radical Period (1916-1930) , it is log- ical to expect that a firm understanding of those years will facilitate our understanding of Argentina's contempo- rary maladies. Despite the need for research, the Radical years have remained somewhat in the shadows while historians have pre ferred to shed light on 19th century and post-19 43 Argen- tina. As a result, our knowledge of the 1916-19 30 era rests heavily on the work of "official" historians and polemicists. A trend toward filling this information gap can be discerned in some recent monographs which deal with several aspects of the Radical Period, including Robert A. Potash's The Army and Politics in Argentina , 1928-1945 (Stanford: Stanford Univ. Press, 1969), Samuel L. Baily's (New Bruns- Labor , Nationalism , and Politics in Argentina wick: Rutgers Univ. Press, 1967), Peter Smith's Politics and Beef in Argentina (New York: Columbia Univ. Press, Radicalism (Iowa City: 1969) , and Peter Snow's Argentine Iowa Univ. Press, 1965). While none of thses studies treats exclusively with the Radical Period, Potash, Smith, Baily, and Snow have all contributed to an understanding o Xll those years by providing new information and fresh in- terpretations based on scholarly investigations. It is only from many more studies of this type that a meaningful synthesis of the Radical Period will emerge. Among the topics deserving detailed study, petroleum must be accorded high priority. Since 1907 when oil was discovered in Comodoro Rivadavia, it has been an explosive ingredient in the Argentine political formula. From the viewpoint of the national politicians, the problem has been one of agreeing on a philosophy for oil development and then mapping out the specific conditions under which exploration and exploitation must be conducted.

Military Entrepreneurs: Patterns in Latin America Kristina Mani ABSTRACT Despite the recent shift to democratic regimes and market-based economies, in many Latin American countries the military retains important economic roles as owner, manager, and stakeholder in economic enterprises. Such military entrepreneurship poses a chal- lenge to the development of democratic civil-military relations and, by extension, to the development of liberal democracy in the region. While scholars have noted this situation with concern, they have given little attention to distinguishing the different types of military entrepreneurship, which reflect distinct historical patterns and implications. This article identifies two major types of military entrepreneurs in Latin America: industrializers, determined to build national defense capabilities and compete for international prestige; and nation builders, seeking to promote economic development that can foster social development and cohesion. Case studies of Argentina, Brazil, Cuba, and Ecuador demonstrate important differ- ences between these two types in their origins, paths, and political consequences.

    Proof Copy Pablo Miguel Jacovkis Introduction Argentina has a long tradition of conflicts between scientific development2 (or educational development) and authoritarian governments.3 Between 1835 and 1852, although he was only Governor of the Buenos Aires Province and responsible for Argentinian Foreign Affairs – that is, a sort of primus inter pares amongst the other thirteen governors – General Juan Manuel de Rosas ruled the country with an iron fist. Among his obscurantist measures we may mention that he stopped paying salaries to the professors at the University of Buenos Aires – the salaries having to be paid exclusively through the tuition of the students, see Buchbinder (2005). The simplified image is reasonably true, that from the establishment of the constitutional republic between 1852 and 1862, education and support for science flourished. We can mention the outstanding work of President Sarmiento (1868–74), who, besides strongly backing 1 The author thanks Amparo Gómez for her kind invitation to participate in the IV Seminar of Politics of Science: Science between Democracy and Dictatorship at the Universidad de La Laguna and to the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation for its economic support through the Research Project FFI2009–09483 and the Complementary Action FFI2010–11969–E.

Cook, B.A. Washington, D.C. April 17, 2020 Copyright 2020 by Megan E. Cook All Rights Reserved ii BOOMTOWN CHALLENGES: THE CASE OF RINCÓN DE LOS SAUCES, NEUQUÉN Megan E. Cook, B.A. Thesis Advisor: Eric Langenbacher, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Natural resource boomtowns are communities that experience rapid demographic growth due to their proximity to natural resource-based projects and that confront a well-established series of challenges that strain local government capacity. The thesis aims to better understand the challenges faced by planners and policymakers in responding to growth in natural resource boomtowns using a case study of Rincón de los Sauces in the Argentine province of Neuquén. The town grew rapidly after a nearby major oil discovery in the late 1960s and is again anticipating a boom as Argentina looks to develop its vast unconventional oil and gas resources. Through a review of a variety of primary and secondary sources, this thesis describes the challenges generated for planning and governance by rapid, natural-resource based growth in Rincón de los Sauces and seeks to explain how policymakers have approached planning and management in this context. It finds that planners and policymakers have drawn on a variety of approaches to plan for growth including seeking to learn from the experiences of other towns, using a variety of sources to make projections, promoting flexibility and adaptability, encouraging community participation, promoting a central role for the local government and seeking outside support when necessary.
