Description
Summary:In Argentine foreign policy studies, most researchers paid little attention to social movement that arise around the measures and positions taken by governments. In this paper, included in a more extensive investigation about Argentine relations with the big powers between 1963 and 1983, we will interpret the popular reactions and mobilizations that occurred before the arrival of illustrious visitors: De Gaulle (1964), Rockefeller (1969), foreign presidents who attended the Cámpora’s inauguration (1973) and the members of the Inter-American Human Rights Commission (1979). Each of these visits provoked a popular reaction and we will determine if they conditioned or reflected foreign policies and international insertion Argentina in those years.
