This paper analyzes the accumulation model and hegemonic disputes that took place under the first administration of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. First, this article examines some core structural elements that shaped transformations and tension at the model level: industrial performance, the energy crisis, changes in the world of finance, and the status of subordinated classes. Subsequently, this paper looks at three key moments in the political dynamics of the economic policy: tax withholdings and the agrarian conflict, the launch of the national plan to confront the global crisis, and the progressivist radicalization of public policy. The questions guiding this work are as follows: what are the characteristics of the accumulation model? How are the hegemonic disputes tied to the performance of the model in Argentina between 2008 and 2011?. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyzes the principal characteristics of capital flight in Argentina since the collapse of the convertibility regime and the macroeconomic consequences of this capital flight. Using data on the formation of foreign assets, this article researched the factors that played a role in the most significant episodes of capital flight, which in 2011 obliged the government to enforce strong currency exchange controls to curb the depletion of Central Bank reserves.

Argentine industry experienced a process of rapid expansion following the collapse of the Convertibility Regime in the early days of 2002. This was only altered by the domestic effects of the international crisis, which rose at the end of 2008. This phase was accompanied by a rise in economic concentration and, in this context, in an increase in the predominance of foreign capital in the business leadership. This paper analyzes these processes and seeks to identify the main explanatory factors, as well as the most significant implications for socio-economic behavior in Argentina. To this end, the aim is to provide pointers that reflect on whether the highly concentrated and foreignized industry that actually exists can be the nucleus for an "accumulation model with social inclusion" as the predominant view maintains.
