Abstract

international approach to the famous glacial islands

Highlights

Whether on the British side, studies on the recently released government official, redacted, documents, books of military memoirs or analyses of the prevailing mentalities of the early 1980s or, in Argentina, perhaps more urgently, publications that seek to go beyond the pleas that have fallen on deaf ears by broaching topics other than, but not excluding, sovereignty, the polemic will not lie down, let alone be put to bed
For Erlich, the focus is on analysing Argentine policies in their shifting historical contexts, including revelation of the voices and insights of respective decision makers in successive administrations
He brings into sharp focus the views and lives of descendants of Malvinas-born individuals and their families thereby, and vitally, re-interrogating Argentine policies and policymakers of the last half century

Summary

Introduction

Is the standard official response of United Kingdom spokespersons when invited to discuss, let alone enter dialogue much less negotiation with, Argentine – or other – would-be interlocutors, regarding the issue of sovereignty over the Falklands-Malvinas. Even as I write, from a British base if not from a closed perspective, books and articles, academic and journalistic, conferences and workshops, research projects and internet debates proliferate.
