Missed opportunity? : the Anglo-Argentine negotiations over the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands, 1966-1968

Abstract

Scholars of the Anglo-Argentine dispute over the Falkland Islands agree that the origins of the 1982 war can be traced back to the preceding seventeen years of inconclusive bilateral negotiations. Yet, as discussed in the first chapter, the voluminous literature on the subject focuses almost exclusively on the early 1980s, with some passing attention to the 1970s.
