Neoliberalismo e ditadura na Argentina (1976 – 1983)

Abstract

The Argentine Military Junta, which came to power after the military coup of March 1976, established one of the most repressive dictatorships in Latin America during the 1970s, but, along with its power project, there was also an economic project of neoliberal inspiration. In this sense, the dissertation aims to carry out a critical analysis of the economic measures of neoliberal inspiration implemented during the government of the Military Junta and their use as a way of disciplining the Argentine population. In addition, the study also intends to expose the consequences of economic measures of neoliberal inspiration in the daily life of the Argentine population. In addition to the impact on the population's daily life, the analysis also considered the political meaning of the implementation of the Argentine neoliberal model, which had the objective of isolating the popular classes from national politics. To carry out the study, primary sources of different types were necessary, such as editions of the 1970s and 1980s of the newspaper Folha de São Paulo, and official sources, such as editions of the official magazine of the Ministry of Economy of Argentina, the Argentine legislation from the period published in the Official Gazette of the Republic and the minutes of the Military Junta, which were found in the Cóndor Building.
