Argentina The Challenges of Modernization

Argentina has been modernizing at breakneck speed in the post-Peron, post-military years. This collection of articles looks at the modernization process and includes several articles by Argentine politicians and policymakers. Argentina: The Challenges of Modernization analyzes the difficulties the country faces in the 1990s, over a decade after the restoration of democracy and several years after the end of the Cold War.
