  • Segundo Semestre De 2010 Sección: Política Exterior Argentina 1
    Revista Relaciones Internacionales – Nº 39 (Segmento Digital) 1 Instituto de Relaciones Internacionales (IRI) – Segundo semestre de 2010 Décimo Cuarto Informe Semestral sobre Política Exterior del gobierno argentino (Marzo 2010-Septiembre 2010)∗ El hecho más relevante en ese periodo fue el cambio de canciller, y la discusión que emano sobre los posibles nuevos rumbos de la política exterior argentina. En principio, mas allá de la discusión que precedió el alejamiento de Jorge Taiana, algunos han señalado una adaptación frente al nuevo gobierno demócrata norteamericano, otros han señalado este desplazamiento por Héctor Timerman como un verdadero cambio. En realidad nos parece que no va haber cambios profundos, ya que la llegada del antiguo embajador en Washington no va alterar la estructura decisorio, y los posibles ajustes o nuevos rumbos obedecen mas a las necesidades de adaptación que los analistas que a lo que realmente esta ocurriendo. Uno de los efectos de este cambio ha sido la disminución de los embajadores políticos de la gestión produciendo cierta distensión con el personal burocrático. Otro de los temas relevantes ha sido la presentación de antiguo representante en Venezuela, Embajador Eduardo Sadous, por la existencia de una embajada paralela en esa representación diplomática. Con respecto a las políticas multilaterales queremos rescatar dos cuestiones una en el plano global, la reunión del G20 y otra regional, la participación de Ex Presidente Néstor Kirchner en la mediación del UNASUR por el conflicto planteado entre Colombia y Venezuela. ∗ Realizado por la señorita Cisten Bjerg, las licenciadas Mariela Cuadro, Agustina González Ceuninck, Natalia Lípez, Lucía Munafó, Florencia Soibelzon y Victoria Zapata, las profesoras Laura Monacci y María Delicia Zurita y los Licenciados Federico Gomez, Leandro Sanchez y Juan Pablo Zabala, bajo la dirección del Prof.
