Abstract

In the decades after the Second World War, the inflow of foreign investment into manufacturing changed the role of Latin America in the global economy. Moreover, the distinct challenges presented to various social groups by industrialization via internationalization fundamentally changed the role of the international economy in Latin America. This chapter analyses how these changes affected business alliance patterns in Argentina and Brazil.
