Sommario/riassunto

This book addresses the complex geopolitical issues surrounding the Malvinas (Falkland Islands), Antarctica, and the South Atlantic. It explores themes of colonialism, sovereignty, and development in the 21st century, focusing on Argentina's historical and legal claims over the Malvinas. The work is a compilation of essays from a research contest organized by the Argentine Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other institutions, aiming to stimulate academic discourse on these topics across Latin America and the Caribbean. The book is targeted at scholars, policymakers, and those interested in international relations and regional development.
