Historian quote
Historian Rapoport (2007):
"Pendularity. The foreign policy of the Peronist government thus oscillated between nationalist confrontation and negotiating pragmatism"
Analysis
Peron's foreign policy was marked with a degree of uncertainty when trying to satisfy both communism and capitalism while trying to become an autarky too. Thus, a set of inconsistencies led to a poor foreign policy and weak relations with other nations.
Conclusion
Peron's foreign policy resulted a failed attempt of strengthening diplomatic relations with both communist and capitalist countries and becoming a self-sufficient nation. Thus, the regime's policy was highly inconsistent, and as a reuslt, there was a lack of confidence from other countries to establish solid relations which did not allow him to consolidate his government.
