The transboundary basin of the Bermejo and Grande de Tarija rivers, shared between Argentina and Bolivia, is a key area in the water system and for the development of the Plata Basin. The objective of this study is to analyze the bilateral relations between Argentina and Bolivia, based on Argentine foreign policy towards Bolivia, within the framework of the integrated management of the transboundary basin of the Bermejo and Grande de Tarija rivers in the period 1995 - 2019. The methodological approach uses a bibliographic and documentary research design of primary and secondary sources and incorporates the semi-structured interview as a source and technique. This work aims to highlight the issue of transboundary water resources at the level of international cooperation.
