Editorial Reviews

Tedesco (politics, U. of East Anglia, UK) examines the relationship between the economic and political factors underlying the fall of Alfons<`i>n's government through historical analysis of the crisis within the Argentinian state. She argues that Argentina during the 1980s was not only experiencing a democratization process but also an exacerbation of the crisis of the state, which centered on the trade unions, the Armed Forces, and international creditors.
