Empecé a hacerlo sin ninguna intención definida, y luego de algunos meses las mismas citas me dieron no sólo el títu- lo sino también la fecha de finalización. Mientras lo hacía, me acordé, un poco epifenomenalmente, de un poema (“La balada de los esqueletos”, de Allen Ginsberg) y de dos libros (Falsos pareados, de Alejandro Rubio, y Rayar, de Ezequiel Alemian). Y también de una frase de Jonathan Swift: “De- testo leer sus escritos, porque no comparto sus principios y no puedo soportar que se me trate de convencer”. Quizá por eso, en contraste con lo que ocurría en el mar- co original de estas citas, este libro no está hecho para con- vencer a nadie de nada, y sin embargo pienso que podría resultar útil. Otras aclaraciones: tomé de los mismos medios los nombres, títulos, cargos y definiciones de quienes hablan; no incluí suplementos culturales; el orden de las citas, en general, es el de recolección, y el nivel de composición es mínimo; si bien varias de las citas no están enteras, traté de no forzarlas ni tergiversarlas; y, por último: sólo cité citas.

Qué es esto que alguien nace predeterminado, me pareció muy nazi”, dijo la presidenta Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. “La educación pública ha venido en decadencia durante déca- das en Buenos Aires”, dijo el jefe de Gobierno porteño Mau- ricio Macri. “En otra época darían miedo, ahora dan pena”, dijo la presiden- ta Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. “Los problemas son a corto plazo; en el largo estamos todos muertos”, dijo el viceministro de Economía Axel Kicillof. “¡Pongan la cara, devuélvanle la plata a la gente!”, dijo el sena- dor radical Gerardo Morales. “¡No puede hacer lo que usted quiere!”, dijo el senador del Frente para la Victoria Aníbal Fernández. “al violador le corresponde pena de cárcel, pero al niño le co- rresponde la pena de muerte”, dijo el diputado del Pro Julián Obiglio. “Desde el punto de vista del Derecho, es perfecto”, dijo la dipu- tada del Pro Laura Alonso. “La Corte da luz verde a la desaparición forzada de niños me- 10 La cadena del desánimo diante su muerte por aborto”, dijo la ONG Pro Vida. “Cuando una mujer está embarazada, no hablamos de una vida, sino de dos”, dijo un vocero episcopal. “Es un síntoma del hartazgo progresivo respecto de la actitud de la Argentina de no cooperar”, dijo un economista vinculado con el FMI. “Acá no se descarta nada”, dijo el secretario general de la Con- federación General de los Trabajadores Hugo Moyano. “Yo empiezo pero déjenme terminar”, dijo el senador del Fren- te para la Victoria Aníbal Fernández. “No hay que atizar el patriotismo territorial”, dijo la intelectual Beatriz Sarlo. “Queremos expresar la preocupación por la emergencia de tra- bas comerciales”, dijo el ministro de Economía uruguayo Fer- nando Lorenzo. “Ya no existe el problema”, dijo el ministro de Agricultura bra- sileño Jorge Mendes Ribeiro Filho. “Descartamos que financiar al sector público sea inflaciona- rio”, dijo la presidenta del Banco Central, Mercedes Marcó del Pont. “Lo mismo que decimos para Cuba, lo decimos en este caso”, dijo Luis Almagro Lemes, ministro de Relaciones Exteriores del Uruguay.

  • Argentina's Delegative Democracy: a Case Study
    ARGENTINA’S DELEGATIVE DEMOCRACY: A CASE STUDY A dissertation presented by Florencia Inés Gabriele to The Department of Political Science In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of Political Science Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts December 2013 1 ARGENTINA’S DELEGATIVE DEMOCRACY: A CASE STUDY by Florencia Ines Gabriele ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities of Northeastern University December, 2013 2 ABSTRACT This study analyses why Argentina remained an immature and underdeveloped delegative democracy rather than a fully-liberal democratic polity. Following the work of Guillermo O’Donnell this work explores the quality of, and serious deficiencies in, Argentina’s democracy. This work pays special attention to presidential use and misuse of Decrees of Necessity and Urgency by as a means to govern alone, thus bypassing Congress and how there is no existing check and balances in the government in this regard. Observing delegative democracies, this work also examines the following: the use of economic restrictions, use of policies such as nationalizations, privatizations, management of the federal budget, international relations of the country, restriction on the media, behavior of the judiciary branch, changes in the national constitution, and decreasing role of the Vice President. This work analyzes the relationship between democracy, decrees of necessity and urgency, laws sanctioned by Congress and inflation using transfer function models. Democracy is measured using the Polity IV dataset. There is a causal relationship among the explanatory variables (inputs) —the numbers of laws passed by Congress, inflation, and number of DNU — and Democracy (output).

  • 1 Political Shocks and Asset Prices Daniel Carnahan
    Political Shocks and Asset Prices Daniel Carnahan (Business Insider) Sebastian Saiegh (University of California San Diego) Abstract We estimate how asset prices respond to a range of political shocks, including changes in a country’s economic stewardship, national elections, coup d'états, wars, and terrorist attacks. Multiple instances of these events took place in Argentina between 1967 and 2020. Using an event study approach and over 13,000 daily prices from the Buenos Aires exchange, we find that stock-market volatility increases in the days immediately following unexpected, major policy- shifting events. These results hold irrespective of whether market returns are measured in nominal terms, in local consumption units, or in US dollars. Our analysis allows us to establish comparisons across different types of political shocks while avoiding the identification problems of multi-country event studies. The most significant increase in post-event risk is associated with irregular government turnovers (coup d'états, presidential death, resignations); approximately 100 percent on average, when returns are expressed in US dollars. Volatility also increases in the days immediately following a defeat in an international war, national elections and changes in the country’s economic stewardship. No changes in stock market volatility occur, however, after terrorist attacks or when the date of a new administration’s inauguration is publicly known and determined sufficiently far in advance. Word Count: 10,929 1 Introduction Investors concerned about non-commercial risks need to consider their exposure to political events that may affect the value of their assets. These political risks can originate in specific government actions, such as laws or regulations.

    Private Investment Response to Neoliberal Reforms: Implications of the Argentine Case, 1989-1996 March 1997 Juan J. López Assistant Professor Department of Political Science The University of Illinois at Chicago 1007 West Harrison Street (M/C 276) Chicago, IL 60607-7137 Phone: (312) 413-3783 Fax: (312) 413-0440 E-mail: [email protected] Draft: comments welcome Prepared for delivery at the 1997 meeting of the Latin American Studies Association, Continental Plaza Hotel, Guadalajara, Mexico, April 17-19, 1997. 1 Introduction Warren Christopher, then the U.S. Secretary of State, in visit to Buenos Aires in February 1996 declared that Menem and Cavallo "had done in Argentina one of the great economic successes of the century."1 This is the official line in Argentina, echoed by fervent supporters of neoliberal economic reforms abroad. If one only looked at some official statistics on economic growth and investment, one might conclude that economically Argentina is doing wonderfully. Budget deficits have been significantly reduced.2 Since April 1991, after the Convertibility Plan, inflation has been kept at low levels. For the period 1990 to 1995, the annual average rate of GDP growth was 5 percent.3 Gross domestic investment grew at an average annual rate of 12 percent between 1990 and 1995.4 Yet a sober look at the data on the economic situation in Argentina raises serious doubts as to whether a solid foundation is being build in the country for sustainable economic growth. The economic growth since 1991 is to a large extent due to the influx of dollars from abroad and to the utilization of idle productive capacity that firms had.5 Unemployment and 1 Clarín, Edición Internacional, February 27 to March 14, 1996, p.

Many studies of federal countries have regarded governors as national veto players even though they do not have such a constitutional status. However, the statistical tests of comparative legislative studies and those of comparative federalism have not succeeded in showing gubernatorial effects on a national political arena. In this dissertation, I study the conditions under which governors can be national veto players by focusing on the treatment of presidential bills between 1983 and 2007 in the Argentine Senate. The dissertation shows that the Senate serves as an arena for subnational governments to influence national politics.

  • Country Report: the Republic of Argentina May 2014 Alaina J
    Del Real 1 Country Report: The Republic of Argentina May 2014 Alaina J. Del Real Honors Adviser: Professor William Lucas Honors in International Studies Spring 2014 Del Real 2 Abstract These four country reports, Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Ecuador, covered the current popular and official climate between the country and the United States, important cultural sensitivities and economic challenges facing the country.1 Each report analyzed how the U.S. is portrayed in the national media, the official stance and policies toward the U.S. The economy section stands separate from the political and social, covering the national economy, trade, and debt, if it poses an obstacle for the nation. Each report builds upon media reports, Congressional briefings, State Department Press Releases, and international organization’s documents. Argentina, under President Kirchner’s predominantly anti-US rhetoric, weakened US-Argentine relations, but the economy is slowly rebounding. The country report findings place Argentina as a tense ally, with weakening diplomatic efforts from Washington. US-Argentine media relations reflect Kirchner’s rhetoric with anti-US articles. Argentina’s default in the early 2000s still plagues the nation and pushed US courts into ruling upon lender-debtor etiquette. 1 The current climate referred to the public perception and attitude toward the United States and Americans, in the government and society. Del Real 3 I. Introduction The Argentine Republic’s contemporary history is marred by consecutive financial crises and failed economic policies that alienated the South American nation regionally and internationally. A brief look back at Argentina from independence up to the present displays a tumultuous political relationship with the United States that has recently slipped into the background of US- Latin American relations.

  • Re-Emergence of China, Recovery of Argentina
    Argentina & Asia, 2000-2010: Re-emergence of China, Recovery of Argentina Dr. Gonzalo S. Paz PREPARED FOR THE CONFERENCE “Reaching Across the Pacific: Latin America and Asia in the New Century” June 20, 2013 Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars Washington, DC DRAFT PAPER CITE ONLY WITH PERMISSION OF AUTHOR Introduction Argentina has tried to take advantage of opportunities for diversification created by the rise of East Asia and India, and particularly the re-emergence of China in order to gear its recovery, and, eventually, its proper re-emergence. Most Argentines earnestly believe that the country has overcome the enormous economic crisis of 2001-2002 thanks to the exports to China, and that also greatly mitigate the global crisis of 2008-2009, which has had mild effect on Argentina. China is now the second most important trade partner of Argentina, surpassing traditional ones like Europe and the United States, and is the most important market for the agribusiness sector. After more than a half century period of relative economic decline, in recent years some Argentines even believe that restoration of dreams of at least a modest dose of grandeur might be achievable again. For many domestic observers there is a certain déjà vu in the current situation with China that resembles the close relationship that Argentina has with the British Empire at the beginning of the 20th century. However, others mistrust China’s intentions. This article will examine Argentina’s relations with Asia (China, Japan, Korea and SE Asia and India) and specifically the impact of China’s re-emergence on Argentina’s own recovery after the crisis of twelve years ago, and map some trends for the coming years.
