I’ve got a coursework assignment on the Impossible Trinity and how it holds up in the context of recent geoeconomic fragmentation (2024–2025), and I’m trying to find some solid up to date resources.

    The question is basically about whether the trilemma still applies when countries are introducing more trade barriers (tariffs, export controls, etc.), and how that affects the trade-off between monetary policy independence and financial integration. I also need to compare two G20 countries with different exchange rate regimes.

    Does anyone know:

    • Good recent reports or papers on this? IMF, BIS, central banks, etc.
    • Any case study examples e.g. US vs China, or other G20 comparisons
    • Academic papers or explainers that go beyond the basic textbook version of the trilemma

    I’m aiming for a higher grade, so anything that helps with critical analysis would be really useful.

    Many thanks in advance guys🙏
