Argentina’s participation in the integration processes in Latin America

Abstract

The article explores the role of the Argentine Republic in the integration process on the Latin American continent. Over the past 10 years, Argentina’s approaches to participation in integration associations have changed. It happened due to domestic political factors. First of all, with presidents who had different views on the country’s participation in integration processes. This applies to regional organizations such as MERCOSUR, UNASUR and CELAC. These integration associations have a strong influence on the development of the economic situation in the region. Argentina’s foreign policy was strongly influenced by the domestic economic situation. Overcoming domestic problems was the focus of Argentina’s leaders, which shaped various approaches to the country’s participation in integration associations. Special attention is paid to Argentina’s current economic situation as an engine of regional integration.
