Among conflict hypothesis and commercial society. Puerto Quequén (Argentina) and the ports of Brazil, 1929-1955
Abstract
From the Great Depression to the postwar, economic relations between countries experienced a period of accommodation. The global food market suffered heavy alterations, where a number of countries competed for the location of their agricultural surpluses. Changes in international demand, in terms of trade and the restrictions placed on the entry of products for countries participating heavily on the export of commodities, such as Argentina, raised residual markets seeking to locate their agricultural surpluses. This new situation, besides being an incentive of substitution industrialization, mostly addressed in the region by Argentina and Brazil, also weakened the regional dependence on its traditional trading partners, allowing the integration of their economies and strengthening trade association alternatively, generating a stream of exchange centered in wheat consolidate and then survive the war in an integration would follow different paths to the possibility of conflict or interests aimed at promoting discord between Argentina and Brazil. In this paper we measure and evaluate this process from shipping traffic in Puerto Quequén -in the Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina- between 1929 and 1955
