Abstract
Description
Neste trabalho analisa-se a evolução da propriedade das empresas de serviços públicos na Argentina desde a sua criação até às privatizações de finais do século XX. Neste percurso, coloca-se a ênfase nas práticas empresariais que no início do século XX conduziram a situações não concorrenciais, nos protestos dos consumidores no período de entre guerras, nas nacionalizações durante o governo de Perón e nas privatizações no governo de Menem. O objectivo é explicar o aparente paradoxo de as mudanças no regime de propriedade (nacionalizações e privatizações) terem ocorrido durante governos peronistas.
In this paper we analyze the changes in the ownership of Argentinean public utilities from their creation until their privatization at the end of the 20th century. We focus our study on: entrepreneurial tactics during the beginning of the 20th century that produced a monopolized sector; consumer’s complaints during the interwar period; Peron’s nationalizations; and Menem’s privatizations. Our main aim is to explain an apparent paradox: why both types of change in the ownership of public utilities (nationalization and privatization) occurred during peronist governments.
