Perón, Schmitt and the Relationship between Politics and War

Abstract

It does not exist any serious approach to the relation between Carl Schmitt’s thought and the theses on international politics of the Argentinian ex President Juan Domingo Perón. In this work, we do a comparative study on political thought of Perón and Schmitt based on the following hypothesis: the theoretical relation between the international theses of both authors. The epoch, the world context, the influences, the problems that they studied, the conclusions that they arrived and their political proposals, show many similarities that deserve to be investigated. In this article, we focus on the relations between war and politics that Perón and Schmitt theorized.
