Anachronism and autonomist today: The problem of the international power of Argentina

Abstract

One of the problems of Argentina in relation to the world is their loss of influence on the external environment, evidenced by the lack of international power. The country has appealed to different strategies to have or to increase power in his international relations. In this paper we analyze how each strategy understood and managed international permissiveness variables, situations of dependence and interdependent relationships. To do this we use the past of foreign policy, and what happened during the first decade of this century. Through the exam in question we revalue the autonomist strategy. We emphasize that the ideological decision to adopt her, or the rhetoric been inspired by her, they are not sufficient to impel it and to give him continuity. It is possible, however, if international actions are sustained through the mobilization of resources of power, and that the exercise of this power actually causing effects against third parties.
