Definition

  • The decade 1996–2006 in Argentina was marked by numerous social responses to the socioeconomic, political, and cultural model that the administration of Carlos Menem had implemented in the country. Massive unemployment that resulted largely from neoliberal policies spawned a series of roadblocks that began in the interior of the country and spread to Buenos Aires.
