Abstract

By the mid-nineteenth century, the expansion of the industrial capitalist system on a global scale was evident. For Latin America, this process is best understood by considering the development of trade flows associated with the external political construction of states. The work we propose focuses on the Río de la Plata scenario and seeks to investigate the activity of consuls as representatives and managers of this activity. The development of the consular network by the Argentine Confederation towards 1850 raises a series of questions and lines of analysis about this group of officials, some of which we will try to develop on this occasion.
