Abstract

MORGENFELD, Leandro. The domestic constraints of Argentine foreign policy: the popular reactions to the visits of the American presidents.1936-2018. Ciclos hist. econ. soc. [online]. 2019, vol.30, n.52, pp.61-70. ISSN 1851-3735.

In the studies on Argentine foreign policy, little attention is given to the internal factors of foreign policy and to the social movement that may arise around measures or positions adopted by the Governments. Although there is an increasingly developed bibliography on the history and relevance of the relationship between Argentina and the United States, at present there are no investigations that have addressed in depth the visits of US leaders. Just monographic works on some of them and a book that describes, panoramically, the first four. This article, which is the result of the research for the book Welcome, Mr. President (Morgenfeld, 2018), aims to fill this historiographical vacuum, from an approach that addresses international relations, history, political science, sociology and economics. It is the result of more than a decade of investigating the ups and downs of the bilateral link, waging in the diplomatic archives of the two countries, in the press and in some interviews with diplomats and analysts, about the the arrival of the American presidents to Argentina.

Keywords : Foreign policy; internal conditions; popular reactions; United States-Argentine relations; presidential visits.
