State Social Intervention and Labour Regulation: The Case of the Argentine.
The analysis of labor regulation through state social intervention (Argentina 1890-1990) shows how its oreintation varied according to labor-market conditions and the importance attached to labor consumption by the growth strategy. State social intervention sought to preserve and upgrade labor and smooth conflict while labor was in demand and growth based on domestic consumption. As the labor surplus expanded and the domestic market ceased to play a central role in the growth strategy, labor's welfare was neglected and state activity was instead addressed to reducing labor costs. However, labor's power position and political interaction also influenced regulatory outcomes. (c) 1993 Academic Press, Inc. Copyright 1993 by Oxford University Press.
