Since 1990 Argentina and Chile have been developing the deepest stage of cooperation in its republican history. In order for both countries to be able to make that kind of cooperation viable, Argentina’s and Chile’s political elites reformulated their views of each other, reconstructing the referential geopolitical space that each country had about its role in the international society. Thus, autonomous bi-national institutions are the outcome of a transition process towards
a new stage in the case of Argentinian-Chilean relations, marked by the construction and implementation of a geopolitical discourse oriented to create such institutions.
