Sumario:This paper intends to analyze the foreign policy developed by the government of Carlos Menem in the exceptional context experienced due to the hyperinflationary crisis and the end of the cold war at the beginning of the 1990s. In this respect, the article seeks to find the ways in which the ideas of ‘reestablishment’ and exceptionality -that crossed the neodecisionism strategy deployed by Menem’s administration- were also present in the basis of the foreign policy of those years. Furthering the analysis, the article focuses on the relationship with the United States and the Argentine policy towards Mercosur as both key indicators of the alleged re-orientation of the country into the path of normality.
