Las corporaciones agrarias de Argentina y Brasil ante la crisis de las negociaciones por el ALCA

The aim of this paper in to analyze the positions of the main Argentinian and Brazilian corporations facing the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) negotiations between 2001 and 2005. For this we observe the entities documents, press intervenntions and governmental documentation about key discussions that have to do with the North American initiative. The associations accepted the regional free trade project, but they expressed some objections to the United States proposals that contributed to pause the negotiations, in a regional political reconfiguration and an increasing opposition to the free trade initiatives context.
