Abstract
He transition to democracy in Argentina was part of a political process that went through extensive transformations at the national, regional and global macroeconomic levels. After a democratic exit without formal conditions, the government of Raúl Alfonsín (1983-1989) had wide margins to begin to configure a democratic political regime that, with the evolution of the electoral victory and the support of the citizens, allowed it to define an ambitious political program. This essay aims to analyze how, since 1983, Alfonsinism proposed to build such a program, its main difficulties, its spirit and some reflections on the economic plans and the reform of the State that followed one another at that time. Thus, the first part analyzes the global and Latin American macroeconomic context, as well as its national impact on the Argentine transition. Then, some details about the beginning of the transition to democracy and the republican spirit that Alfonsinism imprinted on it are delimited, reflecting on their economic policy proposals against the advance of international neoliberalism.
