MANZANO ITURRA, Karen Isabel. Geopolitical representations: Chile and Argentina in the Campos de Hielo Sur. Estud. front [online]. 2016, vol.17, n.33, pp.83-114. ISSN 2395-9134.

From a concept first articulated by Rudolf Kjellén in 1917, geopolitics has continuously evolved up to the present. The incorporation of the initial representation has been of vital importance in the analysis of different territorial conflicts. Through a geopolitical analysis, this article aims to understand the geopolitical representations in the area of the Campos de Hielo Sur, the last boundary issue that remains pending between Chile and Argentina, in addition to the manner in which both countries have debated this issue, on the basis of a number of representations in which maps have generated the image of one state facing the other, thus privileging competition between them.

Keywords : geopolitics; representation; conflict; maps; image.
