Domination, confrontation and agreement. The intervention of IMF in the Argentine crisis during 2002

Journal Title: Conjuntura Austral: journal of the Global South - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 19

Abstract

In 2002 the Argentine government tried unsuccessfully to reach an agreement with the IMF, to moderate the impact of the economic crisis that erupted after the end of convertibility. This paper analyzes the IMF intervention during that period, specifying the factors that explain their intransigence and how it contributed to establish a situation of domination over the government. We conclude that only when the government turned into a confrontational position did change the course of negotiation and reached an agreement.
