Abstract
Argentina has experienced both economic crises and instable political breakdowns. One of the challenges that security and international affairs think tanks grapple with is the Malvinas islands issue. The Center for Strategic Affairs “Manuel Belgrano” of the Ministry of Defense, the government-affiliated think tank, suggests dividing the Argentine Sea into geopolitical sets, one of which would be the Malvinas. The Argentine Council for International Relations created a subcommittee to provide academic conferences and research on this issue. The Argentine Center of International Studies founded the “Peoples for Malvinas” initiative to address the potential of these territories for implementing the advocacy strategy.
