Abstract

The present work seeks to analyze, in a comparative way, the motivations and
positions adopted by Argentina and Brazil through the reform process of the regional
security during the 1990s. In particular, the article proposes that the foreign policies can
be framed around three multilateral positions: support, resistance and equidistant. On
this basis, Argentina adopted a position mainly of support during discussions, while Brazil
varies between positions of resistance - especially when the creation of new instances or
the expansion of the functions was brought to the agenda - and intermediate positions.
