| Abstract | This thesis seeks to examine the political and economic dynamics that culminated in and emerged from the Argentine Great Depression (1998-2002) to analyze the extent to which Néstor Kirchner’s administrated a “left turn.” In the wake of Latin America’s lost decade, Carlos Menem endeavored on a project that blended populist political mechanisms with an orthodox neoliberal project in the 1990s. From this project arose a deep economic and political crisis at the turn of the century. Néstor Kirchner’s heterodox project emerged in the context of the post-crisis Pink Tide. While it constituted a leftward shift, continuities from Menem to Kirchner demonstrate that it also maintained the neoliberal foundation of the economy. | en_US |
