Abstract

Abstract : This article contrasts two significant ruptures in globalisation. World War I in 1914 was a significant break from the Latin American export‐oriented development that was firmly connected to economic globalisation. This article uses the Argentine case study to reveal the ramifications of the post‐1914 global breakdown for the republic's internationally dependent development. It draws comparisons with the current COVID‐19 crisis as a significant departure from rapid globalisation. Both events altered the trajectory of international activity. Analysis of the 1914 rupture exposes the parallels with COVID‐19 and its potential severity for Latin America's internationally connected development.
