Abstract

The main works of José Medina Echavarría in recent years dealt with the international scene. The intention of this article is to focus on his most extensive and comprehensive essay: "Latin America in the possible scenarios of detente" to reveal some of his basic ideas about cold war and detente and then make some projections of these phenomena on the Latin American scene. Regarding the relationship between the transformation processes in Latin American countries and the framework of the global struggle, we argue that it is convenient for the former to "internalize" their inevitable conflicts and not "internationalize" them; that is, not to associate them with an unrestricted affiliation with any of the great blocs or superpowers.
