Sumario: | This paper addresses the contribution of Geopolitics to the construction of the International Relations (IR) field in Argentina. Enclosed in a broader study that seeks to answer the more general question about how the process of constitution of the field of International Relations (IR) is developed as an autonomous field of research in Argentina, the article will highlight the impetus that Geopolitics gave to the field in conceptual and institutional terms. Based on the bibliographical analysis and the revision of archival documents of the Revista de la Escuela de Guerra Naval (1969-present), Revista de Geopolitica (1975-2000), and Revista Estrategia (1969-1983), the paper aims to identify common debates and perspectives on “the international” issue. From both military institutions and academic circles, Geopolitics served as a framework for the emergence of studies on International Security and realist approaches within the Argentinian IR.
