Why Argentina Is Breaking Away from the IMF | And Turning to Russia | John Mearsheimer

Argentina’s evolving relationship with the International Monetary Fund marks a critical moment in global finance and geopolitics. In this video, we examine why Argentina is moving away from IMF-backed arrangements and exploring deeper engagement with Russia, and what this shift reveals about broader changes in the international system.

Rather than focusing on headlines or personalities, this analysis uses the realist framework of international relations to explain how states respond to financial pressure, institutional constraints, and shifts in global power. Argentina’s case highlights how long-term debt dependence, conditional lending, and declining institutional trust can push countries to seek alternative partnerships.


In this video, you’ll learn:
Why Argentina’s relationship with the IMF has repeatedly produced economic and political strain
How financial conditionality affects national sovereignty and domestic stability
Why countries look for alternative partners when confidence in global institutions weakens
What Argentina’s outreach to Russia suggests about multipolar trends in global finance
This is not advocacy or prediction. It is an analytical examination of how structure, incentives, and power dynamics shape state behavior in today’s world order.
