Annotation: An impressive six-volume study of
Argentine diplomacy focusing on the confused period of national definition in
the 1800s. Unlike many treatments that allude to an inexorable
"Argentina-in-the-making," this study stresses the weak and
conditional character of the new nation-state. Rejects the oft-told tale of
massive Argentine territorial loss, noting instead that the Plata was a
"constellation of mini-states," each with its own interests and
politics, some of which gravitated toward Buenos Aires (others did not). There
was little inevitable about the process - as the various foreign interventions
and the Paraguayan War clearly demonstrated. Backed
by a large array of archival and secondary sources, this study is perhaps the
most innovative work on Argentine foreign relations to appear in some time.

Annotation: Comprehensive authoritative work
constitutes the best single source available on the history of Argentina's
foreign relations. Published volumes examine the evolution of the country's
international relations between the early 19th century and the late 1980s. Set
is edited by well-known Argentine experts Cisneros and Escudé and relies on the
contributions of a number of specialists in different periods and aspects of
Argentina's foreign policies. Pt. 1 comprises six volumes which
examine the period 1806-81, addressing the emergence of the Argentine Republic
and the role of the provincial states, early relations with neighboring
countries and European states, Juan Manuel de Rosas' foreign policies, and
Argentina's international relations during the period of constitutional
organization. Pt. 2 is divided into four volumes: two analyze Argentine foreign
policies vis-à-vis South America, Europe, and the US between 1881-1930; next
volume examines the country's political-diplomatic relations between 1930-43;
and last one studies Argentina's economic relations with Great Britain and the US
between 1880-1943. Pt. 3 contains four volumes analyzing Argentina's foreign
economic relations in the period 1943-89, the diplomacy of the
Malvinas/Falkland Islands (1945-89), and foreign political relations in the
periods 1943-66 and 1966-89. Pt. 4 (expected to be published in two volumes)
will examine the evolution of Argentina's foreign relations between 1989-99. Indispensable source for the study of Argentina's
international relations and policies is also available in electronic version.
