Abstract:  The objective of this work is to investigate Argentine foreign policy with respect to the Malvinas Islands, during the period between the presidency of Carlos Menem and the mandates of Nestor Kirchner and Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner. The history of Argentine international relations can be understood as a pendulum, at one extreme we observe a strong approach to certain hegemonic countries while on the other, we see an approach to the countries of Latin America. In the analysis we will try to answer the following questions: how each side of the pendulum is characterized and what were the reasons for that position in the mentioned period? What were the strategies that were raised on the basis of a position or the other with respect to the Malvinas question? And finally, we inquire about the dynamics of these strategies in relation to the costs and benefits for Argentina. The hypothesis presented here is that the strategy in seeking regional support from Argentina on the sovereignty dispute, achieved a better position worldwide in their claims. Otherwise, during the 1990s, with the approach of "carnal relations" has not achieved more than some enhancements without substantial results in the central pose, the discussion on sovereignty of the islands.

Keywords : Malvinas; pendulum; sovereignty; strategies.
