Abstract

In this work we would like to show that the end of the subordination of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the Ministry of Economy around the negotiations for the FTAA was one of the manifestations of the Convertibility crisis – and, as a result, of the international insertion that this entailed – during the Alianza’s government. Moreover,we look at the Convertibility crisis as the crisis of the social relations which supported it and which had been condensed in the form of a Neoliberal state, excluding all other elements. From this perspective, we will analyze the basic principles underlying the positions of the Ministry of Economy and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs between August 2000 and May 2001, which first acquired the shape of a latent tension (from August 2000 to March 2001) and afterwards turned into open opposition (from March to May 2001).
