  • Argentina-Marruecos. De Los Impulsos a La Convergencia Político-Comercial (1989-2007)
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Repositorio Hipermedial de la Universidad Nacional de Rosario UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL DE ROSARIO Facultad de Ciencia Política y Relaciones Internacionales DOCTORADO EN RELACIONES INTERNACIONALES TESIS Argentina-Marruecos. De los impulsos a la convergencia político-comercial (1989-2007) Mgter. Juan José Vagni DIRECTORA: Dra. Gladys Lechini 21 de octubre de 2008 Este trabajo aborda las vinculaciones de Argentina con el Reino de Marruecos, en el contexto de sus relaciones con el Norte de África y África, centrando su atención en el período 1989-2007, etapa en la cual se profundizó el acercamiento entre ambos actores y, consecuentemente, el afianzamiento de los lazos bilaterales. Se pretende explicar porqué las relaciones político-diplomáticas y comerciales con Marruecos se intensificaron y avanzaron en el sentido de una convergencia político-comercial, a pesar del descenso del perfil de las relaciones argentino-africanas en la política exterior argentina. El incremento sostenido en la relación bilateral se produjo debido a la implementación de una política por impulsos, de carácter agregativo, que se sostuvo a lo largo de estos veinte años, gracias a las respuestas e insistencia del lado marroquí y a los acercamientos desarrollados por Brasil hacia la región norafricana. Mientras en los noventa se avanzó con el enfoque comercialista, animado por las coincidencias ideológicas resultantes del alineamiento con la potencia hegemónica; en el siglo XXI el enfoque comercialista se acentuó, pero ahora bajo el discurso de la cooperación Sur-Sur. 2 Argentina - Moroco. From impulses to political and commercial convergence (1989-2007) This thesis deals with the relationship between Argentina and Morocco in the broader context of the argentine relations with Africa and North Africa specifically.

LADB Article Id: 77816 ISSN: 1060-4189 Argentina Leader Visits Cuba, Expects to Expand Trade Relations by LADB Staff Category/Department: Region Published: 1986-10-21 Argentine President Raul Alfonsin arrived in Havana, Cuba Oct. 18 for a 20-hour official state visit, and received the most rousing welcome experienced by a foreign head of state for several years. According to Cuban and Argentine sources, between 200,000 and 300,000 people turned out to meet Alfonsin and his entourage at the Jose Marti International Airport, and along a parade route into downtown Havana. Alfonsin was reportedly quite moved by the reception. The Argentine president's stop in Cuba was the last leg of a four-nation tour including the Soviet Union, Spain and France. Argentine journalists reported that the tour was an "historic one," and particularly the visit to the Caribbean island. Alfonsin's visit to Cuba marks the first of its kind by an Argentine head of state.
