GONZALEZ LEVAGGI, Ariel. Argentina frente al Atlántico Sur: entre una inestabilidad crítica y una restringida (1983-2023). Relac. int. [online]. 2023, vol.32, n.65, pp.179-192. ISSN 2314-2766.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.24215/23142766e177.

The international system provides a disparate set of incentives for latent conflict situations in the Global South and the intensity of latent conflicts influences affects regional security dynamics. The Malvinas question, understood as the sovereignty conflict between the Argentine Republic and the United Kingdom over the Malvinas, South Georgias del Sur Malvinas, South Georgia, South Sandwich Islands and the surrounding maritime areas, represents the main sovereignty conflict in the South Atlantic. This, though, coexists with the changes which have taken place internationally, whereby incentives have been created to lower the conflict dynamics of the post-Cold War period. This essay analyzes the route taken by the South Atlantic from 1983 to 2023, focusing on the stability/instability balance shaped by the interaction between regional conflicts and the projection of extra-regional actors in the South Atlantic maritime space.

Keywords : South Atlantic; instability; Argentina; Malvinas islands; conflicts.
