Javier Milei and the global far right: reshaping Argentina’s foreign policy

Abstract

We examine the ideas shaping Javier Milei’s foreign policy within the broader context of the global rise of the new far-right. Our argument is that Milei’s rhetoric and stance align with this global far-right movement, characterized by cultural conservatism and a deep skepticism towards global governance. However, this global scenario only tells part of the story as Milei’s foreign policy also carries the imprint of Argentina’s distinctive diplomatic standpoint and domestic realities.
