Despite its permanent presence in all ZOPACS meetings, the Argentine government has had a low profile, just following Brazil’s initiatives. A relatively low interest in the South Atlantic maritime issues and in the African countries could explain this position. The vindication for the argentine sovereignty over the Malvinas (Falkland Islands) Georgia and Sandwich –a constant claim in Argentina’s Foreign Policy- and other connected matters such as the protection of the sea resources and disarmament, are the main issues that justify the participation of Argentina’s governments. Taking into consideration the three more important landmarks which pointed out the Zone’s activities, the objective of this paper is to shed light on the domestic and international argentine positions and actions towards the South Atlantic, taking into consideration the Malvinas issue and the place of African countries and mainly of South Africa and the countries of the western coast of Africa. A pesar de una presencia permanente, Argentina ha tenido un bajo perfil en la ZOPACAS, siguiendo las actuaciones de Brasil, debido a su relativamente bajo interés en las cuestiones marítimas del Atlántico Sur y en los países de la costa occidental africana. Solo la reivindicación por la soberanía de las islas Malvinas, Georgias y Sandwich del Sur – cuestión constante en la política exterior argentina - y temas vinculados, tales como el cuidado de los recursos de la zona y el desarme que aparecen como el incentivo más importante para sostener su participación e incentivarla. Teniendo en cuenta los tres momentos de actividad de la Zona, se revisarán las posiciones argentinas en ese contexto, esto es las acciones hacia el Atlántico Sur, teniendo en cuenta la cuestión Malvinas y el lugar de África, principalmente de Sudáfrica y de los países de la costa occidental africana, en las preocupaciones domésticas e internacionales de los gobiernos argentinos. |
