This study examines the international economic integration of Brazil and Argentina during the period of 1990-1999, and assesses the vulnerability of the two foreign countries. From the evolution of the flows of trade balance (coefficient of openness), the balance of services and capital, is the analysis of international economic integration. The analysis of the current account deficit, of how it is financed, the denationalization of the economy, the balance of international reserves of foreign debt and the coefficient of vulnerability, will assess the behavior of external vulnerability. It follows that the international economic integration of Brazil and Argentina, through the adoption of policies of adjustment recommended by the Washington Consensus, took place in a subordinate and dependent on large economic and financial centers, to the extent that the two countries acted as receivers in the pattern of shortterm, resulting from trade liberalization, supported by the overvalued exchange rate, which caused a structural change in the trade balance, making it the deficit. There was an increase in vulnerability in the two countries, because the external accounts have deteriorated, increased the foreign debt grew and the degree of internationalization of production through greater presence of foreign equity companies, increasing the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of international groups. Moreover, the inadequacy and inconsistency of these policies are also evidenced by the low GDP growth and rising unemployment.
