description I propose to describe the positions of the Argentine government regarding the negotiations for the FTAA during the year 2002. I observe the different attempts promoted by the presidents Eduardo Duhalde (Argentina) and Fernando Henrique Cardoso (Brazil) to reach a unity between the MERCOSUR and the CAN and thus constitute a monobloc that, from their point of view, would have allowed obtaining better returns from the FTAA agreement. The exhibition is strictly chronological and descriptive, although I make some interpretations of the events that occurred during: a) the Second Summit of Presidents of South America held in July 2002 in the city of Guayaquil and b) the positions and resolutions adopted at the VII Meeting Ministerial of the FTAA, held in November 2002 in Quito, where an attempt was made to effect a common position among the various countries of South America. I show that these two moments were founding of what I call the politicization of the negotiations, because MERCOSUR and the United States tried to form alliances to strengthen their positions. The underlying hypothesis is that the positions of the Argentine government aimed to achieve a better position in the negotiations for the FTAA, and for this it sought the support of Brazil and the rest of the countries of South America. The purpose of this positioning was to reach agreements that resulted in favorable commercial balances that help to recover the economy and, at the same time, allow responding to diverse social demands. From the point of view of Argentina, this position was based on the social insurrection of December 2001 that led to the end of convertibility and changes in the form of the state, which tended to respond to social demands that emerged during the struggles against neoliberal capitalism. Responding to these demands was a condition of possibility for the recomposition of political power and the conditions of accumulation after that social insurrection.

Propongo describir las posiciones del gobierno argentino en torno a las negociaciones por el ALCA durante el año 2002. Observo los diferentes intentos impulsados por los presidentes Eduardo Duhalde (Argentina) y Fernando Henrique Cardoso (Brasil) de alcanzar una unidad entre el MERCOSUR y la CAN y así constituir un monobloque que, desde su punto de vista, hubiera permitido obtener mejores réditos del acuerdo del ALCA. La exposición es estrictamente cronológica y descriptiva, aunque realizo algunas interpretaciones de los acontecimientos sucedidos durante: a) la Segunda Cumbre de Presidentes de América del Sur realizada en julio de 2002 en la ciudad de Guayaquil y b) las posiciones y resoluciones adoptadas en la VII Reunión Ministerial del ALCA, celebrada en noviembre de 2002 en Quito, donde se intentó efectivizar una posición común entre los diversos países de América del Sur. Muestro que estos dos momentos fueron fundantes de lo que denomino como politización de las negociaciones, pues el MERCOSUR y Estados Unidos intentaron conformar alianzas para fortalecer sus posiciones. La hipótesis que subyace es que las posiciones del gobierno argentino apuntaron a lograr un mejor posicionamiento en las negociaciones por el ALCA, y para ello buscó el apoyo de Brasil y el resto de los países de América del Sur. El objeto de este posicionamiento era alcanzar acuerdos que resultasen en saldos comerciales favorables que coadyuven a recuperar la economía y, al mismo tiempo, permitiesen responder a diversas demandas sociales. Desde el punto de vista de Argentina, esta posición se recostaba en la insurrección social de diciembre de 2001 que condujo al fin de la convertibilidad y a modificaciones en la forma de estado, que tendieron a responder demandas sociales emergidas durante las luchas contra el capitalismo neoliberal. Responder a esas demandas era condición de posibilidad para la recomposición del poder político y las condiciones de acumulación luego de aquella insurrección social.
