Description
Résumé:The progress of the latest decades in political history agree to characterize the territory of the Río de la Plata in the nineteenth century as crossed by war. This general framework manifests diverse rhythms and characteristics depending on the context observed. Particularly, there are various dynamics in diplomatic negotiations, in order to end international conflicts. In the framework of the Blockade undertaken by France on the Río de la Plata between 1838 and 1840, in this work we address some diplomatic efforts undertaken by the Argentine Confederation on this issue. We analyse, through a varied set of documentary sources, the characteristics of the work of some of the officials who were in charge of foreign policy. Specifically, in two particular cases: the head of relations, Juan Manuel de Rosas, and minister Felipe Arana in front of an attempt of North American mediation and the diplomatic mission of Manuel de Sarratea in Rio de Janeiro. In this way, we analyze to the relational, cultural and political dimensions that characterize and organize the work of the foreign relations of the Confederation. Thus, we intend to make a contribution to this problem that has been scarcely addressed by historical studies.
