The purpose of this work is to locate the problem of the Falkland Islands in the general context of Argentine foreign policy in recent decades and, particularly, in the critical moment that the country is experiencing, considering the broader context of its repercussions on the international relations of Latin America. We maintain that Argentina must effectively incorporate the events of Malvinas into its reality. This reality is difficult to accept, since the national process linked to Malvinas (the political-military factors that lead to the decision to occupy the islands; the military strategy applied in the operations; the subsequent socio-political and economic effects), form part of a cycle of notorious involution of Argentina in recent years, about which there are resounding economic, social and political indicators.
