Abstract: This paper will analyze the Menemadministration's social policy reformsduring the 1990s. Neo-liberal reforms inArgentina are well-known both in the economy and in the social arena, but in the latterwe can discern the presence of tripartite negotiations. The form of such negotiations, the type of agreements reached as a result, and the background to those agreements will be discussed. We also pay attention to the concept of competitive corporatism, which was established under the increase in market competition brought about by globalization.
