DACHEVSKY, Fernando G. Oil nationalism and Peronism: From the nationalization of the land to the contract regime (1946-1955). Trab. soc. [online]. 2014, n.23, pp.267-286. ISSN 1514-6871.

This article analyzes the Peronist oil policy with emphasis on its two most notorious measures: the enactment of the 1949 Constitution and the Contract with Standard Oil of California, proposed by Peron. Against interpretations that opposed both measures like contradictory expressions of a changing relationship between Peron and oil nationalism, we emphasize the complementarity of those measures. Our working hypothesis is that both measures were consistent within a transition to forms of incorporation of private capital in association with YPF. In other words, we understand that the type of oil contracts require not only changes in the relationship between YPF and the private sector, but in the form of access to land. To which, the provisions of Article 40 of the Constitution of 1949 would appear as necessary.

Palabras clave : Political economy; Oil nationalism; National property.
