Royal United Services Institute (RUSI)(Webpage here), Chaired by
Andrew Young.
Utilizing my archival research, I explore how the Falklands War was part of a historic and ongoing competition over the Antarcitc's future between Argentina, Britain, Chile and the US, and how British policy from 1942-1961 impacted and influenced the context of the later conflict. I also offer a new take on the US-UK relationships in the region, and how Britain in fact "lost" regarding the Antarctic Treaty System. The Q&A I delved into current geopolitics and what the future has in store for the Falklands and Antarctic.
