Spanish term or phrase: tomadas al abrigo del debate publico
Para el gobierno de Carlos Menem las relaciones exteriores tuvieron un papel prioritario dentro del nuevo
enfoque político y económico del Ejecutivo. La política exterior, como el resto de las políticas públicas, se destacó por la celeridad de las decisiones, tomadas al abrigo del debate público y parlamentario, y sobre todo por los cambios drásticos en la dimensión
conceptual y en su traducción operativa de lo que debía ser la inserción internacional de la Argetina.
