Jaguaribe and Puig are two prominent International Relations theorists from the global South. Their works have become classics in Latin American studies and demonstrate a couple of different, dissident and dissonant voices from the so-called mainstream. Their contributions are the rationale behind autonomist foreign policies in Latin America, such as those that scholars envisioned during the progressive wave of left-wing governments; thus, they are essential to understanding the dynamics and debates that have taken place in the region for at least three decades. This research is guided by the questions of what are the primary theoretical categories and common characteristics of the selected concepts. By answering those, this article sheds light on the theoretical contributions of both avant-garde and pioneering authors, while also highlighting the marginalized and little-known voices in the field of study. I undertake a comparative study of the main conceptual categories that organize these autonomist proposals. The main conclusions are that autonomy is a process achieved through incremental steps; the rational behaviour of actors would be to increase their room for manoeuvre, based on internal and regional consensus to provide a sustainable framework. The article concludes by looking at examples of and clues for identifying autonomist foreign policies.

提高拉丁美洲自治主义者的知名度：Jaguaribe 和 Puig 之间的比较

贾瓜里贝和普伊格是来自南半球的两位著名国际关系理论家。他们的作品已成为拉丁美洲研究的经典，并展示了来自所谓主流的一些不同的、持不同政见和不和谐的声音。他们的贡献是拉丁美洲自治主义外交政策背后的基本原理，例如学者们在左翼政府进步浪潮中所设想的政策；因此，它们对于了解该地区至少三十年来的动态和辩论至关重要。这项研究以以下问题为指导：主要理论类别和所选概念的共同特征是什么。通过回答这些问题，本文阐明了前卫和先驱作者的理论贡献，同时也强调了研究领域中边缘化和鲜为人知的声音。我对组织这些自治主义建议的主要概念类别进行了比较研究。主要结论是，自治是一个通过渐进步骤实现的过程；行为体的理性行为是在内部和区域共识的基础上增加回旋余地，以提供可持续的框架。本文最后介绍了识别自主外交政策的例子和线索。
