Massi Dalvit’s Reviews > Política internacional argentina. De la formación nacional hasta nuestros días > Status Update

(Read during the break) The progress of the book speaks of the evolvement of Argentina's foreign policy and (for example) how Trump's election in 2016 brought trembles to Argentina and their hopes to have another democrat president.

Speaks of how both world wars affected the country and their political views (read throughout the weekend). Speaks of how contrary politicians criticized the development and policies of conservative Argentina in the 1940s-1950s.

The book speaks of how international politics defers from regional politics, in a sense that how South American politics (referred to as regional) differs from relations like European and US politics. I did not find these chapters (2) any interest, since they were quite boring and did not transmit much feeling.

The book speaks of how comparative studies compare Argentina and its economic downfall came to a completely unexpected situation, where at the beginning of the 1900's the country was compared to have growth numbers with Canada and Australia. This section was for now the most interesting part of the book.

Author Mario Rapoport references multiple different authors and their work and how their work influenced the understanding of Latin American (mainly Argentina) history economically and how we use those texts to understand how Argentina's economy fell.

The book references foreign policy such as relationships with the United States and Britain throughout 1889 and 1930s. Then, the author Mario Rapoport gives examples from other fellow authors speaking of the postwar economic and state 'falloff' and how the country dipped from being the strongest economic powerhouse of South America, so much so to be called the USA of South America to then fall into a failed economy.
