Comparing Argentina and Australia (1880s-1960s): State Finances and Investments in Education and Health
Since the late nineteenth century, comparisons of Argentina and Australia have been common as both countries had and have similar economies based on the export of commodities and the importation of migrants, finance and technology. By the 1970s it was apparent that in general Australians had a higher standard of living than did Argentines. In this article we argue that at least in part this was due to there being a more interventionist State in A…
Along the Bolivian Highway: Social Mobility and Political Culture in a New Middle Class
The Latin American middle class, or the relative lack thereof, has long been a recurrent theme in class and political analyses of the continent. Over the last decade, with substantial economic grow
Strategic Choices in Pluralist and Unitarist Employment Relations Regimes: A Study of Australian Telecommunications
Using interview data collected between 1992 and 2009, the authors explore how deregulation of the Australian telecommunications sector and re-regulation of the labor market affected employment relations (ER) strategies at Telstra, Australia's former telecommunications monopoly. Labor market re-regulation reversed much of the previous institutional support for union activity, and unions struggled to adjust to this changed institutional context. Te…
The Limits of Liberalism in Argentine Provinces 1890-1940: An Analysis of Provincial Expenditures
This paper examines the liberal grounded provincial societies of Argentina from 1890 to 1940. A close examination of provincial government expenditures reveals that these states spent most of their revenues on law and order and education with little being directed to social welfare and to health. This form of government was extremely limited, therefore, in providing for the welfare of most of its citizens, and left many of them excluded from full…

State planning and the public health sector in Argentina 1946-1955: Successes, failures and contradictions
During the Peronist period, 1946–1955, Argentine national public health authorities, under the energetic leadership of Dr Ramön Carrillo, attempted to provide for the physical, mental, and social health of the population by means of the establishment of a unified, centralised state health system. This project was a major departure from the pluralist unplanned model of the past, and the various systems that followed the overthrow of Peron, most im…

Neoliberalism and its discontents: A review of recent writings on the economic, political and social dilemmas of Argentina
Of all the turns to neoliberalism in Latin America, the most surprising in terms of intensity and rejection ofthe Import Substitution Industrialisation (lSI) model of development has been that of Argentina. This turn was not something that happened overnight. The military dictatorship from 1976 to 1983 embraced the tenets of monetarism and reduced tariffs, lowered wages, and overvalued the peso, resulting in the bankruptcy of many national indust…
Without Fear of Being Happy: Lula, the Workers Party and Brazil
The Brazilian Workers Party is the most important political formation to emerge in Latin America for many years. Under the charismatic leadership of an ex-metalworker and union official, Luis Inacio da Silva, known simply as Lula by the Brazilian masses, the Workers Party won 31 million votes to come within three per cent of winning the 1989 presidential election on a bold anti-capitalist platform. Taking its title from the Workers Party's slogan…
Una idea brillante el FSLN y la construcción del estado nacional
