This volume on Argentina brings the International Library of Policy Analysis to the southern end of the world. Therefore, we wanted to narrate how Argentines theorize, think, and implement policies, in this vast country of more than 46 million people. The editors would like to thank Iris Geva-May and Michael Howlett for giving us this great opportunity to show Argentina's public policy field to the world. For several years, we have been researching the history and development of policy analysis in different institutions in the country. With this in mind, it is necessary to mention the Universidad Nacional de Quilmes, the Universidad de Buenos Aires, the Universidad Argentina de la Empresa, the Universidad de El Salvador, and the Universidad de San Isidro, which provided us the institutional support to develop these studies.

We would like to acknowledge the accompaniment of organizations, such as the Asociación Argentina de Estudios de la Administración Pública and the Sociedad Argentina de Análisis Político. The role of the Instituto Nacional de la Administración Pública has been central, not only in the incorporation of some of its researchers in the project but also in the constant collaboration in bibliographic and documentation matters. The Universidad Nacional de Rosario and its Facultad de Ciencia Política y Relaciones Internacionales have supplied us with an excellent forum for discussion in times of pandemics. Also, the Archivo General de la Nación granted its facilities for the last workshop of the project.
