Abstract

This paper deals with the study of recent developments in the shipbuilding industry in Argentina and public shipyards (Astillero Rio Santiago, and Talleres Navales Dársena Norte). Our hypothesis implies a strong relationship between the State, acting as a regulator, producer, and financier and the shipbuilding industry, in particular the public shipyards. From a conceptual point of view, the aim of this paper is to contribute to a broader debate about the relations between the State and the industrialisation. From an empirical point of view, we identify and explain this link trough the path of an industrial sector. The consequences of the orthodox policy in the shipbuilding industry led to a systematic reduction of the activity, causing the closure of shipyards, and the near disappearance of the naval parts suppliers. Changes in the course of public policy since the beginning of the XXI century created the conditions of possibility of public shipyards.
