SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This project is part of a Cold War reevaluation that advances an invigorating, new examination of Argentine-Arab relations amid influences of Arab nationalism, Third World movement, and the Arab-Israeli conflict. These relations exemplify the global variables that truly shaped the Cold War. My work examines how the non-aligned tendencies of Argentina attracted reformist Arab states and sparked an unprecedented form of transnational exchange amid the internationalization of the Arab-Israeli conflict and tense Cold War alliances. The unparalleled exchange saw Argentina become one of the few Latin American nations to affirm the Arab position in the U.N. partition debates and the first to establish relations with newly emerging Arab states. The subsequent Cold War atmosphere, however, forced Argentina to reconcile its remarkable relationship with the Arab World and the demands of its large Arab community with its continued policies of noninterference in issues related to the Israel-Palestine conflicts. Despite those claims, however, the Arab-Israeli conflict manifested itself in Argentina and unprecedented ethnic strife ensued. In short, Argentina became the Latin American front in the Arab-Israeli conflict.
