Este trabajo busca responder a la pregunta acerca de cuáles han sido los principales aportes de la Economía Política Internacional (EPI) al devenir histórico del campo intelectual de las Relaciones Internacionales (RI) en Argentina. El Trabajo se inscribe en dar respuesta a una pregunta más amplia acerca del proceso de constitución del campo de las ri como disciplina académica autónoma en Argentina. Se indagará sobre los aportes realizados por la epi, especialmente, el estructuralismo latinoamericano y el desarrollismo, como espacios de producción teórica y conceptual desde donde se construye parte del pensamiento sobre la realidad internacional. El objetivo del trabajo girará en torno a reconstruir la agenda de epi y su contribución al desarrollo de las ri argentinas mediante la observación y análisis de los principales autores y conceptos, las instituciones que han servido como espacios de producción de conocimiento y las revistas especializadas que actuaron como plataformas para la difusión de temas e ideas.
Mainstream international relations (IR) has been built as an extension of imperial concerns. Thus, a restricted focus, even a self-styled demarcation was born: l ´etat cest moi. This organizational boundary-setting left behind a good deal of the way the discipline evolved in other areas of the world. In this sense, Latin America has been caught between North-South and Western-non-Western traditions, emerging with questions, problems, and challenges different from those of European and North American scholars. Throughout history, Latin-American IR studies have been marginalized from Western mainstream IR approaches, being a theory adopter but not a theory exporter. However, Latin-American IR is not new. We can trace its roots to the nineteenth century when the processes of nation-building arose as a result of the end of the European occupations. Since then, an idea of region started to develop and, with it, several shared approaches to IR emerged. This article aims to bring the Latin-American IR agenda on regionalism into light both in terms of issues and traditions, challenging the conventional wisdom about the sources of IR theory and proving evidence that Latin-American scholars and policymakers made notable contributions that flourished on the edges of the mainstream.
