Sumario:This paper explores three moments in the public career of Estanislao Zeballos: his removal in 1908 from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs during José Figueroa Alcorta’s government, his later campaign in favour of the purchase of arms, and finally his electoral campaign of 1912. Through focusing on these three moments in Zeballos’s public life, this paper seeks to contribute to the study of the links between politics and nationalism at the beginning of 20th century, to explore the tensions within the press and to define certain aspects of the relations between the figure of the expert statesman and electoral politics. The paper states that the gaining of specific knowledge regarding international relations and his participation in porteño high society and in the republic of letters would strengthen Zeballos’s role in the world of politics at the end of the conservative order.
