Expand Tierra del Fuego economic and territorial promotion to deepen Argentine sovereignty in the Malvinas and the South Atlantic

Abstract

This article explores economic and territorial promotion in Tierra del Fuego, Antarctica, and the South Atlantic Islands as a means to deepen Argentine sovereignty in the Falklands and the South Atlantic. It examines tensions between foreign investments and internal criticisms of the economic promotion regime. Additionally, it analyzes FUNDAR's study, which proposes a productive transformation in the region, highlighting the efficiency of the Tierra del Fuego industry and its contribution to currency savings. However, the lack of consideration for British occupation in the Falklands is criticized, and the centralistic interpretation of the fiscal impact of the regime is questioned.
