FROM PRIVATIZATION TO NEOLIBERAL CORPORATIZATION: RECENT TRENDS IN POLICIES FOR PUBLIC ENTERPRISES IN THE ARGENTINE CASE (2015-2018)

ABSTRACT

The aim of this paper is to analyze recent trends in policies for Argentine public enterprises and their relationship with the principles and political project of neoliberalism. In this sense, a review of the policies of the last decades for the sector is presented and the notion of neoliberal corporatization is taken up as a reference to study the current process. The argument developed indicates that the continuity of the state ownership of a company does not preclude the implementation of policies linked to neoliberalism. From a qualitative approach, an analysis of different official documents and other secondary sources is carried out. The results of this work suggest a convergence between the policies analyzed and the typical guidelines of neoliberal corporatization processes.
