Resumo
This article examines two aspects of the state restructuring process undertaken in Argentina during the Martínez de Hoz administration. The first aspect concerns the neoconservative diagnosis of the Argentine crisis as being due to the "state's excessive size". The author develops the idea that the design for state restructuring does not arise from a simple preoccupation with problems of economic efficiency, but rather as part of a more generalized concern with the society's governability and of an intention to reformulate the limits of the power formation process in this society. The second aspect of the state restructuring process analyzed here touches upon the relationship between the neoconservative technocracy and military society within the state. The literature on this period tends to place emphasis on the convergence of the neoconservatives' diagnosis of the crisis with the military's preoccupations and views regarding Argentine reality during the mid-1970's. The picture which nonetheless emerges from an empirical analysis of the state restructuring process is that, despite the neoconservative military convergence, the internal dynamics of the military regime was heavily influenced by the tensions and dissensions existing between the neoconservative team and sectors of military society, in the marks left by the prolonged presence of the latter within the state apparatus.
