RESEARCH QUESTION
 Does Dependency Theory or
Neoliberalism better explain
periods of success/failure in
Argentina’s economy during
the last century?
FRAMEWORK: SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT
 Dependency Theory
 Emerged in 1950s
 Based on work by Raúl
Prebisch and Hans Singer
 Divides the core and
periphery to explain
developmental difference
 Promoted ISI
 Neoliberalism
 Similar to classical
liberalism
 Revived in the 1970s, 1980s
 Theory aimed to resolve
failures caused by ISI
 Washington Consensus,
Chicago school
HYPOTHESIS
 Tentatively, that Argentina
has been more successful
when following the model
of Neoliberal economics
 However, both theories
will be tested and analyzed
