MOLTO, Mauricio. For Everyone or Nobody: The Free Zone’s Law Debate in the Argentinian Parliament. Temas debates (En línea) [online]. 2020, n.40, pp.13-31. ISSN 1853-984X.

During the 1990’s, Argentinian economic agenda was influenced by the idea of “insert back the country in the world”. In this way, simultaneously to the state action’s discredit, ideas such as production efficiency and economic competitiveness were winning influence. In this context the idea of regulate the activities of free zones was reborn. Thus, this work aims to analyze the free zones’ return to the Argentinian public agenda and the political positions which were confronted during the 24.331 law debate. The hypothesis is that the possibility of create free zones worked like an encounter point between the provinces' economic public policies demands and the National Government action possibilities in a neoliberal ideology context which dominated the Argentina’s economics ideas during the 1990’s.

Keywords : Free zones; Parliamentary debate; Public policy design.
