BONA, Leandro M.  and  PAEZ, Sergio M.. Phases, Similarities and Differences between the Cases of Dictatorships and Political Economy in Argentina, 1966-1973 and 1976-1983, and Brazil (1964-1985). Am. Lat. Hist. Econ [online]. 2020, vol.27, n.2, e1068.  Epub June 10, 2020. ISSN 2007-3496.  https://doi.org/10.18232/alhe.1068.

Argentina and Brazil experienced military civic dictatorships during the 1960s and 1980s. In Argentina, the experience is divided into two stages: in the first one (1966-1973), the country pursued an industrializing strategy; in the second one (1976-1983), it started a neoliberal process. In Brazil, the dictatorship (1964-1985) began in the context of the developmental stage and did not abandon that economic pattern. This article analyzes the evolution of both experiences with the elements of political economy; it investigates the processes of capital accumulation in each case, by analyzing how the dictatorships affected them, as well as the ideological and economic policy objectives they searched. This comparison discusses aspects such as the conditions of the world market in the internal dynamics of each country and social class alliances to understand the similarities and differences between both countries.

Keywords : political economy; dictatorships; industrial policy.
