Abstract

LORENZO, Cristian  and  NAVARRO DRAZICH, Diego. La doble excepcionalidad antártica en tiempos de pandemia [ ]. Relac. int. [online]. 2021, vol.30, n.61, pp.145-153. ISSN 2314-2766.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.24215/23142766e139.

Although there are no COVID-19 infections in Antarctica, this does not mean that what happens on the White Continent is absolutely isolated from the global reality, its dynamics and trends. In fact, this virus has had an impact on Antarctic activities related to tourism, decision-making and scientific activities. These changes supplement the diplomatic exceptionality associated with negotiations related to the Antarctic Treaty and its entire system, which allow the Antarctic Continent and its surrounding waters to be a region devoted to peace and science. The point above allows us to claim that a double Antarctic exceptionality is predominant in times of pandemic.

Keywords : Antarctic Treaty System; Antarctic Policies; Antarctic Geopolitics; Antarctic Cooperation; COVID-19; Antarctic exceptionality; Antarctic Tourism.
