BOLINAGA, Luciano  and  SLIPAK, Ariel. The Beijing Consensus and the Reprimarization of the Productive Structure in Latin America: The Case of Argentina. Prob. Des [online]. 2015, vol.46, n.183, pp.33-58. ISSN 0301-7036.  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rpd.2015.10.003.

One of the most decisive ways in which the global economy and power relations were transformed at dawn of the twenty-first century was the rise of China as a major power, as well as the consequent influence the country has been able to exercise over peripheral nations. Although the majority of administrations in Latin America have rejected the policies once hailed by the Washington Consensus, it is striking that they have largely accepted a new system of asymmetrical relations with another major world power, which is fostering the reprimarization of the productive structure in Latin American economies. Thus, beginning with the case of Argentina, this paper explores the path to what is now known as the Beijing Consensus, with an emphasis on a characterization based on the analysis provided below.

Keywords : Argentina; China; Beijing Consensus; trade exchange; reprimarization of the productive structure.
