KEJSEFMAN, Igal. The Argentine economy in postconvertibility (2002-2015). A debate on the thesis of extractivist-primarizationA economía argentina na pós-conversibilidade (2002-2015). Um debate sobre a tese primarizaao-extrativista. Trab. soc. [online]. 2019, n.33, pp.271-280. ISSN 1514-6871.

The manifest aim of this work is to put into debate the thesis of the reprimarization of the Argentine economy, usually related to extractivist theses. The relevance of critically addressing the primary- extractivist thesis is that it was very widespread in recent years in academic and even political spheres. The question we want to answer refers to whether the evident expansion of soybeans and other

primary / extractive activities forms a process of (re) primarization of the economy or if it constitutes the manifestation of another process whose characteristics we should, in this case, enunciate. Throughout the paper we will analyze the external sector and international insertion to account for the drivers of capital accumulation in post-convertibility (punctually 2002-2015) seeking to specify the role of the primary / extractive sector. From this we will discuss the relevance of the notion "(re) primarización", and propose that to name the characteristics of Argentine capitalism in the first decade and a half of the 21st century it is more pertinent to refer to "neodevelopment".

Keywords : Argentina; post-convertibility; primarization; neo-development.
