Abstract

Terrorism entered the international agenda after the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center in New York City. However, Argentina had already suffered two terrorist attacks in its territory. It had thus become a pioneer in the fight against it. Terrorism is an asymmetric global threat, thereby requiring the coordination of multiple actors to combat it. Problems arise, however, in finding a universal consensus regarding its definition and characteristics. In the absence of an agreement, coordination spaces—such as regional organizations—can become ineffective at promoting the design of an international strategy against terrorism. Due to the lack of international agreement, Argentina formed its position around its own interests, focusing on the two major issues that run through it: the attack on the AMIA and the triple border.
