Abstract

This paper analyses the establishment process of the Pope's mediation on the conflict between Chile and Argentina for the Beagle Channel. This article argues that the opportunity of a mediation agreement was subordinated to the political power structures of both dictatorships. The author proposes an explanation of the Montevideo Act laid down on a «two-level game», in which the conflict and cooperation relations between these countries are an outcome of the internal equilibrium changes in the Argentine military regime.
