The complex question of the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands
remains far from resolved, even after the military and political
events that took place from April to June 1982. The first scholarly
work of its kind, this broad and dispassionate study of the causes
of the South Atlantic war between Britain and Argentina addresses
the larger issues raised by the Falkland crisis and untangles a web
of events and attitudes that stretch back over the past century.
The book begins with a close evaluation of the two pivotal
arguments: Argentina's stance that international law supports their
historical right to the islands, and Britain's position that the
length of their occupation of the Falklands, together with the
principles of self-determination, legalized their de facto control.
Gustafson then discusses how potential off-shore oil reserves,
diplomacy, domestic politics, and the use of force entered into the
sovereignty dispute; analyzes the effects of war on international
relations; and considers possible future approaches to handling the
dispute.
