description The objective of this paper is to investigate Argentina's foreign policy towards the Malvinas Islands during the period from the presidency of Carlos Menem to the mandates of Néstor Kirchner and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. The history of Argentine international relations can be understood as a pendulum, at one extreme we find the strong rapprochement to certain hegemonic countries while, on the other, we observe an approximation towards the countries of Latin America. In the analysis of the mentioned period we will pose the following questions: How is each side of the pendulum characterized and what were the reasons for this positioning in the indicated period? What were the strategies that were proposed based on one positioning or another with respect to the Malvinas question? And finally, we will investigate the dynamics of these strategies in relation to costs and benefits for Argentina. The hypothesis presented here is that Argentina's strategy of claims and confrontation over the sovereignty conflict between 2003 and 2015 achieved a better position at the global level in its support than that designed in the 1990s with a proposal for negotiation and intervention by the United States.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 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.

El objetivo de este trabajo es indagar sobre la política exterior argentina con respecto a las Islas Malvinas, durante el periodo que abarca desde la presidencia de Carlos Menem hasta los mandatos de Néstor Kirchner y Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. La historia de las relaciones internacionales argentinas puede entenderse a modo de péndulo, en un extremo encontramos el fuerte acercamiento a determinados países hegemónicos mientras que, por el otro, observamos una aproximación hacia los países de América Latina. En el análisis del período mencionado plantearemos los siguientes interrogantes: ¿Cómo se caracteriza cada lado del péndulo y cuáles fueron los motivos para dicho posicionamiento en el período indicado? ¿Cuáles fueron las estrategias que se plantearon en base a un posicionamiento u otro con respecto a la cuestión Malvinas? Y finalmente indagaremos acerca de la dinámica de dichas estrategias en relación con los costos y beneficios para la Argentina. La hipótesis que aquí se presenta es que la estrategia de reclamos y confrontación por parte de la Argentina sobre el conflicto de soberanía en los años 2003 al 2015 logró un mejor posicionamiento a nivel mundial en sus apoyos que aquella diseñada en la década de 1990 con un planteo de negociación e intervención de Estados Unidos.
