A new cycle for regional planning? The case of six argentinian regional economies

Abstract

Studies made in six regional economies of Argentina shown that monetary devaluation occurred in 2002 tend to support actors that were on a previous dominant situation in their circuits. Then, these actors can appropriate the benefits of this macro economic scenario: liabilities liquefaction, operation costs moderate growing and larger internal and external demand. In this article, we understand that a change in economic and sectorial policy is not only possible, but necessary. Consequently, we propose guidelines for regional development plans that consider value generation in the local links of productive circuits, income distribution from a growing surplus retention from weakest actors and cooperative movement strengthening.
