Analysis of Argentina's policy signalling profile
Argentina's current WokeMeter assessment score of 42 places it in the moderate intensity range for policy signalling. Despite having consistent dimension scores around 42.92, the overall score reflects Argentina's balanced approach to Western-style progressive policies. The lack of significant recent events or policy changes in the last three years contributes to maintaining this position. The percentile ranking at 68.3 indicates a moderate global standing, largely influenced by the absence of aggressive legislative activism or content moderation initiatives that typically elevate scores in other regions. This score positions Argentina in the context of global trends, highlighting its moderate engagement in policy signalling without significant fluctuations.
The dimension scores reveal a consistent signalling intensity across various aspects such as speech and expression, institutional DEI policies, and corporate/investor signalling. The highest intensity is observed in the Protest & Activism Salience dimension at 43.57, suggesting a slightly elevated level of public engagement in social issues. Conversely, Legislative/Regulatory Activism scores slightly lower at 42.82, indicating a more cautious approach to formalizing progressive policies through legislation. Overall, Argentina's policy signalling is characterized by steady, moderate engagement across these dimensions, without any particular area dominating the landscape.
