Abstract

It is Dr. Vanossi's contention that Argentine federalism is today largely a fiction , as demonstrated by the fact that only the city of Buenos Aires and three or four of the country's provincial governments are financially viable, with the rest depending on large and continuing subsidies from the national government. The solution, he contends, is "regionalization", a process by which two or more provinces, through interprovincial agreements approved by the national Congress, would unite for certain specified governmental purposes. This process, Dr. Vanossi points out, has always been authorized by the country's Constitution.
