The article critiques Argentina's potential agreement with the United States, cautioning that it may once again align the country with a declining hegemon.
The article discusses Argentina's current considerations for a partnership with the United States, which some skeptics argue may be overly accommodating to a declining power. Drawing parallels with the Roca-Runciman Treaty of 1933, the author explains how that agreement with Britain, aimed to secure a meat quota amid British protectionism, later proved detrimental due to its asymmetrical nature. At that time, although Britain was still strong, its eventual decline revealed the errors of such conditional agreements.
