This article examines the coalition supporting the government of Alberto Fernandez in Argentina against the Political Science literature on coalitions. It also analyzes major developments and trends in relation to three challenges before the new administration during its first year: the management of the COVID-19 pandemic, foreign debt renegotiations, and its relationship with neighbouring countries. These three areas show, with varying degrees of intensity, the diversity of preferences within the ruling coalition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In 2011, Argentina began to implement a series of foreign exchange controls, going so far as to prohibit the acquisition of foreign currency for nonproductive purposes. In December 2015, after the change of administration, all of the foreign exchange regulations were eliminated and returned to their pre-2001-2002 crisis levels. These reforms were implemented under the mainstreaming vision, with the expectation that capital outflows would be reversed. Nevertheless, after the controls were lifted, according to information from the foreign exchange balance kept by the Central Bank of Argentina (BCRA) on Foreign Asset Formation (FAF), one year later, capital flight abroad had doubled. This increased currency outflow was financed by rising foreign debt. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We analyse ways in which it is possible to promote the Social Economy or its organisations (cooperatives, credit banks, non-governmental and non-profit organisations, foundations and friendly societies) in South American countries with large debts by implementing foreign Debt Swaps for Local Development or the Environment, associated with a participative role of Civil Society -local and international- within the framework of Cooperation for development. There tends to be limited impetus from the state in these countries, with frequent restrictions on the democratic and participative activities of the Third Sector and cooperatives. This is due to the financial and political crises they have undergone, as well as structural changes and privatisations established by entirely capitalist authorities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This second paper from Mauricio Avella describes the complete cycle of capital exports originating in the United States in the 1920's: the conversion of United States into a creditor nation; the role of New York as the dominant financial center; and the distribution of United States investments, particularly in South America. Moreover, it examines the availability of these exports to Colombia, and the consequences from collapsing of external credit granted by the United States. Finally, it reviews the balance of the main international creditors when the export cycle of American capital closed in the 1920's. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Latin American access to international markets since the beginning of the 19th century has depended on the cyclical behaviour of foreign indebtedness. This document studies Great Britain's cycles of boom and recession in international credit and Latin American participation on the international capital movements. It emphasizes on Colombia's role as the main debtor in Latin America during the period known as Pax Britannica, which is taken to begin in the third decade of the 19th century. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
