| Sumario: | This article analyzes the positions of Argentine senators Alfredo Avelín and Carlos Leonardo de la Rosa regarding the Continental Ice litigation in the 1990s. The arguments that both senators developed for and against the Treaty and its background. The sources consulted include the Diary of Sessions of the Senate of the Nation on June 2 and 3, 1999, as well as the works Hielos Continentales Patagonicos and Acuerdo sobre los Hielos Continentales. It is hypothesized that Avelín uses arguments based on confrontational geopolitical conceptions that support the idea of a “threatening neighborhood”. On the other hand, it is argued that de la Rosa justifies his conciliatory position through the concept of regional integration. In addition, it is argued that the current context favors de la Rosa more than Avelín, due to the progress towards the formation of an ascending security community between Argentina and Chile. |
