About the heterodox autonomy and the concept’s weakenesses

Abstract

The doctrine of "autonomy" in Latin America, and the Argentine version elaborated by Juan Carlos Puig, is in an unavoidable place for the area of international relations. This article is a summary of some of the limitations of the concept of heterodox autonomy for the difficulty of the task of applying historical concepts. In this sense, we consider it necessary to include analysis, a historical approach that allows us to balance the needs of finding patterns and categories with the importance of understanding the complexity of both politics and the international scenario.
