FERNANDEZ, Víctor Ramiro  and  SEILER, Cristhian Rubén. Processes Accumulation, Industry and SMEs: The Argentine Experience and Limits of Neo-developmentalism. Soc. Econ. [online]. 2016, n.30, pp.225-253. ISSN 1657-6357.

This paper introduces the discussion on the role of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and the industrial sector in the accumulation processes in Latin American in the XXI century. Underlining the pressure of the neoliberal logic of global capital, it recognizes the requirements and challenges that weigh on the industry sector and the SMEs to the construction of a post-neoliberal accumulation pattern in recent neo-developmentalism projects. Based on this framework, it critically evaluates the Argentina's experience (2002-2012) observing the industry and SME (internal and external) economic performance. This performance shows their alignment with an accumulation pattern that is compatible with the global capital's logic, and does not alter its peripheral position deepened under the Washington Consensus.

Keywords : accumulation processes; SMEs; industry; new developmentalism; post-neoliberalism.
