International Relations: Argentina under the Kirchners

The aims of this book are 1) to show that Argentina's international relations and foreign policy have, contrary to certain preconceived ideas or to a sort of general impression, occupied a prominent place during the government of Néstor Kirchner, 2) to understand Kirchner's desire to relaunch regional integration so as to be able to emancipate itself economically and politically from the stranglehold on Argentina by interests outside the region (in particular North American interests represented by the IMF), 3) to draw a clear distinction between the terms of office of Néstor and Cristina Kirchner in terms of foreign policy, 4) to take stock of Argentina's current situation on the regional and international stage.
