Mariano Agustín Caucino (Buenos Aires, September 14, 1976) is an Argentine lawyer, historian, and diplomat. He graduated as a lawyer from the University of Buenos Aires (2001) and has specialized in the study of international relations.
He served as ambassador of Argentina to Costa Rica (2016–2017) and to the State of Israel (2017–2019).[1][2] In 2024, he was appointed as Ambassador of Argentina to India.[2][3]
Previously, he was the founder and director of the School of Political Science and Government at the University of Business and Social Sciences (UCES)[2] and a professor of Foreign Policy and Contemporary History.
Additionally, he is a regular columnist in public media in Argentina, Latin America, the US, and Israel on global affairs and international politics.[4][5][6]
He was born in Buenos Aires. He attended primary and secondary school at the Bayard Institute,[7] in the Palermo neighborhood. Between 1996 and 2001, he studied law at the Faculty of Law of University of Buenos Aires. Although he had political inclinations and supported the pro-market reforms carried out in Argentina in the 1990s, he prioritized his university career over political activism. In December 2001, he obtained his law degree.
Professional career
In 2002, he founded the Institute of Political Studies and later the School of Political Science and Government at the University of Business and Social Sciences.
During those years, Caucino joined the Argentine Council for International Relations (CARI),[8][9] and between 2010 and 2012, he served as President of the Business Leaders Association.[10][11]
Between 2005 and 2012, he was Director of International Relations at the University of Business and Social Sciences (UCES),[12] a position from which he promoted student exchange programs between Argentine students and different countries worldwide, participating in educational fairs and conferences in Latin America, the US, Europe, and Asia.
At the suggestion of former Foreign Minister Adalberto Rodríguez Giavarini, Caucino was invited to join the Institute of International Politics at the National Academy of Moral and Political Sciences.[13] Since 2016, he has been a member of the board of the InterAmerican Institute for Democracy (Miami, FL).[14]
