There are a series of conflictive aspects linked to the growing importance that the Antarctic continent has recently acquired; these are manifested in several dimensions: a) the global international system; b) the regional and Latin American subsystem and c) the Antarctic subsystem itself. In this context, issues related to security and strategy aspects; the exploration, exploitation and conservation of oceanic and continental resources and the question of sovereignty claims over vast portions of the territory are issues that attract more and more attention from national, international and transnational actors. This paper aims to provide some considerations on the problems related to the emergence and characteristics of a "New Antarctic Order" that gives rise to the interaction of political, strategic, economic, scientific and technological factors that are already acting intensely within and outside the framework of the Antarctic Treaty.
