 Similarities of the areas
Purpose and criteria → natural features
for the division → population conditions

→ Provinces rather than

regions Regional competition

Regional consciousness ?
 Economic autonomy or
the struggle for political
expression??
 CONCLUSION

Argentina has fostered the creation of

regions to encourage economic
competition among regions in order to
strengthen national economy.
