Argentina Since The 2001 Crisis

Bringing together contributions from a multi-disciplinary and international group of experts, this volume explores the effects and legacies of Argentina's 2001-2002 social, economic, and political implosion. Interrogating the nature and effects of the crisis, the contributors reject the dichotomy of 'old' and 'new'; instead, they argue that responses to the crisis and the factors that precipitated the crisis are a combination of pre-existing and emerging problems, many of them ones that were perceptible in the 1990s and earlier.

The multi-disciplinary analysis has implications beyond Argentina. This volume is essential reading for researchers, students, and policymakers interested in crisis, responses to it, and subsequent processes of recovery. Review: 'This important volume, a truly inter-disciplinary effort that combines micro and macro levels of analysis, makes a crucial contribution to the understanding and explanation of political, economic, and cultural transformations and continuities in post-2001 Argentina.' -Javier Auyero, Sociology Department, University of Texas at Austin, USA This is an important book, which makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the impact of the 2001 crisis in Argentina.

The volume presents a thorough exploration of the different dimensions of the crisis - economic, social, political, and cultural - and provides a multidisciplinary analysis, successfully integrating essays with different methodological perspectives. The most complete and up-to-date analysis of the multiple meanings of the 2001 crisis, this book is essential reading for those interested in understanding Argentina's recent past. - Jose Antonio Sanchez Roman, Department of History, Complutense University of Madrid, Spain
