PADIN, Juan Manuel. The World Trade Organization (WTO) and the reduction in policy space: The resurgence of the external constraint in Argentina during the postconvertibility regime. Relac. int. [online]. 2019, vol.28, n.56, pp.79-99. ISSN 2314-2766.

The birth of the WTO in the mid1990s shrank the policy space. A clear example of this was the narrowed range of policies still available to manage foreign currency flows through trade channels before the reappearance of the external constraint in 2011 in Argentina. This paper, then, aims to question the scope of the WTO rules and to evaluate the options offered by such organization to face a critical balance of payments deficit, basing the analysis on the argentine case.

Palabras clave : WTO; Balance of Payments; External Constraint; Post Convertibility.
