ABSTRACT

Starting with a biographical and intellectual profile of his character, in conjunction with references to the political situation in Argentina in the twenties, this work aims to outline the relations established by Ramiro de Maeztu with the Nationalist Right circles in Argentina, where he was ambassador for two years (1928–1930). In light of the existing literature, new research and various considerations that have investigated further into some aspects that were originally overlooked, this contribution aims to outline the role of transnational agent, as fulfilled by Maeztu, in shaping authoritarian nationalism on both sides of the Atlantic, as much for the personal contacts he made in Buenos Aires as for the influence exerted by his work both in Europe and Latin America.
