Abstract

Shortly before assuming office in June 1946, Juan Domingo Perón had the outgoing president, General Edelmiro Farrell, sign a highly controversial decree that established the Institute for the Promotion of Foreign Trade (Instituto Argentino para la Promoción del Intercambio). IAPI, as it came to be known as, took control over foreign trade and became one of the major policy tools for the incoming Peronist government.
