This work is the result of a comparative enterprise about latest Brazilian and Argentinian experiences central left governments and the chances to make meaningful institutional changes. Its departure point is the revival of a pro development economic discourse since 2000s, that recovered political economic ideas linked to and engendered by Post Second World War Latin American thought. Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva election in Brazil, and Néstor Kirchner in Argentina, both in 2003, are considered as symbolic and a breaking point because they represented an important political inflection (discursive and practical) towards governments agenda of 1990s. Both Lula and Kirchner governments put forward more popular agendas, expanding public budget, increasing full employment policies and promoting more autonomous international policies. Moreover, as this work argues, they undertook a very significant attempt to modify monetary policy patterns. This thesis is guided by questions as: Was there an effective counterpart to this ideological revival that has changed the way economic policy was organized and practiced? Is it possible to explain economic policies as a mirror image of broader political disputes, or of political, economic and social actors interests and positions? Is there any significant linkage between support coalitions to central left governments and the structural change? Of what kind? What are the obstacles peripheral capitalist countries face to alter their productive patterns? Considering as fundamental the role of ideas to public policies production, this work seeks to identify types of economic ideas and its diffusion agents dealing with economic knowledge regime and economic epistemic communities concepts. It resorts to a political economy thought, varieties of capitalism and institutional change literature to incorporate the notion of actors coalition to explain why some kind of political projects chosen by majority of constituency did not achieve success. The chronological cut, between 2003 and 2014, follows the ascension, consolidation and fall of the three Workers Party and Kirchnerist governments . This thesis aims to apply an analytical method that takes into account the state, market and society relations in a dynamic fashion, and suggests that a deeper understanding of how economic knowledge regimes works should be an useful analytical tool to open the economic political management black box, and, finally, politicize the economy.
