Do ut des. Anti-communist networks and militant circulation in the Southern Cone (1975-1981)

The article aims to study the mechanisms of militant circulation in the NSD space by reconstructing the path of European anti-communist groups through Chile, Argentina, and Bolivia. It shows how the permanence of militants on the ground depended on the protection of a well-defined regime. It also shows how continental political dynamics strongly influenced the trajectories of militants and their freedom of movement across the continent, conditioned by the international relations of the regimes that from time to time constituted their point of reference on the ground.
