Produktbeschreibung
This volume contains four essays that summarize four decades of research and writing by the author. The first part delves on the educational contents that made Argentina culturally prone to self-destructive foreign policies during the 20th Century. The second part, based on formerly secret U.S. and U.K. papers, documents the economic boycott and political destabilization of Argentina perpetrated by the United States during the Second World War and its immediate aftermath, as a consequence of the South American country's neutrality. The third part explains Peripheral Realism, the International Relations theory developed by Escudé, based on this historiographical research that gauged the damage accruing to peripheral countries as a consequence of avoidable geopolitical challenges to great powers. Finally, the fourth part brings us to the 21st Century, studying the relations between Argentina, its Jewish Community and Israel, with the United States, Iran, and the 1992 and 1994 terrorist attacks in the background. The author is a Masorti Jew who directs CERES, the research unit of the Latin American Rabbinical Seminar of Buenos Aires.
