Abstract
FRENKEL, Alejandro. The Garden of Forking Paths: Argentina and Brazil's regional security policies in the 1990s. Relac. int. [online]. 2017, vol.26, n.52, pp.137-162. ISSN 2314-2766.
The present work seeks to analyze, in a comparative way, the motivations and positions adopted by Argentina and Brazil through the reform process of the regional security during the 1990s. In particular, the article proposes that the foreign policies can be framed around three multilateral positions: support, resistance and equidistant. On this basis, Argentina adopted a position mainly of support during discussions, while Brazil varies between positions of resistance - especially when the creation of new instances or the expansion of the functions was brought to the agenda - and intermediate positions.
