MASSANO, Juan Pedro. El “Plan Austral” y el avance del “consenso del ajuste” durante la transición democrática. Sociohistórica [online]. 2018, n.42, pp.62-62. ISSN 1852-1606.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/18521606e062.

In this article, we frame the "Plan Austral" of June 1985 in the attempts to resolve the economic and political crisis inherited by the new democratic regime inaugurated in December 1983. For this purpose, we identify the nature of the crisis and its links with the great transformations that occurred since the middle of the previous decade. Then, its continuities are established with the pro-IMF shift that the Alfonsin government has implemented since September 1984. Later, the main measures of the Austral are reviewed, its political viability, its effects and its limits are analyzed. Fourth, we outline the subsequent changes the Austral suffered after its first implementation, as well as its successive failures, taking the evolution of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) as an indicator. Finally, it concludes with a general characterization of the "Plan Austral".

Keywords : Plan Austral; Alfonsinism; Democratic transition; Adjustment’s consensus.
