S. dollars.
Although the plan had its share of supporters, it failed to be implemented because of the lack of political support. As a consequence, odriguez Saa resigned, and was followed by Eduardo Duhalde.

Factors Contributing to the Crisis

The crisis that affected Argentina was due to a combination of factors. Also, some of the factors that determined the crisis have their roots in the previous decades, increasing their effects and combining them with the effects of newer events that were not efficiently managed.

One of the most important causes that determined the crisis is represented by the political factor. The military dictatorship that ruled the country decades before the crisis has had its significant negative impact on Argentina's economic, social, and political evolution. The public management system developed and implemented by the dictatorship has taken the country off track of a country's normal evolution towards economic development in accordance with the development of….

Independence
What did Domingo Sarmiento think of Latin America in the 1800s?

As president of Argentina from 1868 to 1874, Sarmiento had a very close-up vantage point from which to draw conclusions about Latin America, and he reported on what he had observed through the book Facundo. It is not rare that a country's president becomes a published author following his term in office -- although modern day presidents and prime ministers use ghost writers and editors -- but Sarmiento's work is unique, personal, and very descriptive albeit his biases are sharply noted.

Sarmiento believed that most of the "barbarism" occurred in the countryside, where the gauchos lived and worked, and he believed that the civilized people tended to live in the cities, not the countryside. "Everything that characterizes cultured peoples" can be found in the city, he wrote. He mentions "European" often as he is describing the "elegant manners" and the….

MARKET ANALYSIS

Marketing refers to the concept of identifying, anticipating, and implementing a plan that satisfies consumer demand for a particular product or service. The essence of marketing is to ensure that a product being offered in the market gains enough popularity and acceptance by customers to make profits . The two main aspects of a marketing plan are to identify customer needs, requirements, and formulation of a stipulated matrix that shows how such demand will be met and over what period of time. Marketing analysis is therefore the process where the necessary conditions for a marketing decision to be made are explored. The aspects of decision making include gathering and recording the necessary information about the market, the product, consumers and competition in a logical and strategic way.

The nation's ports and harbors are world class due to the large amount of national exports in oil and goods. However, the nation's airport infrastructure is lacking even though there are 144 airports with paved runways out of a total almost 1400 around Argentina.
V. Media

Argentina has a modern telecommunications and media market systems. There is a great deal of foreign investment incorporated into the systems. "Argentina encouraged the growth of modern telecommunication technology; fiber-optic cable trunk lines are being installed between all major cities; the major networks are entirely digital and the availability of telephone service is being improved; however, telephone density is presently minimal, and making telephone service universally available will take time." (CIA World Fact Book, 2004)

The nation has 42 Television broadcast systems as of 1997 and internet use is nearly a million strong. The nation's radio stations are mostly unlicensed: "AM 260 (including 10 inactive stations),….

The population of Argentina is more than 40 million people and more than 13 million of them live in Buenos Aires. The official monetary currency is the Spanish Peso. Argentina exports a lot of frits, vegetables, soy, vegetable oils, wheat and oats. The cattle industry, industrial chemical production and mining are also important industries. Tourism also plays an important part in the economy of the country.
Education, Foods, ecreation and Famous Citizens:

The literacy rate in Argentina is approximately 96%. Education is mandatory between the ages of 5 and 17 and both public schools and public universities are free because they are paid for by taxes. The food is a combination of many European cuisines, such as German, Spanish, and Italian, and one of the most popular local foods is a stuffed pastry called empanadas. The national sport is called pato, which is played on horseback, but soccer, rugby, basketball, volleyball….

She died of cancer in 1952 at the age of thirty-three" (Juan 2006).
Although she became immensely popular with the working class of Argentina and with woman there as well, she could be as ruthless and vengeful as her husband Juan. "Eva was very vindictive and used her new position as first lady to have all those who snubbed her blacklisted.... 'Time' ran an article stating that Eva was an illegitimate child, it was banned in Argentina for four months.

Eva and Juan shut down any newspapers that opposed them and ruled Argentina with an iron hand" (Eva 2003).

Evita was an excellent example of being a very popular politician, accomplishing many things that helped her people, while at the same time she caused a lot of pain and anguish to those who crossed her, or disagreed with her opinions. She wielded her power for good and bad.

There have been many such….

Peron and Vargas: Argentina's And Brazil's Most Influential Political Regimes
This essay compares the regimes of Juan Domingo Peron of Argentina and Getulio Vargas of Brazil in terms of policies and issues.

Most of outh America's former colonies gained independence in the early 1800s. Brazil and Argentina are no exceptions, to this, with the difference being that in the case of Brazil the revolution which led to independence was not as bloody as that of many of its neighbors. With the passage of time, these two nations came to dominate the politics of outh America, "in part due to strong personality-driven leadership by individuals" (Ferre, 2003). Juan Domingo Peron of Argentina and Getulio Vargas of Brazil are classic examples of such leadership.

Both men took power when their countries were suffering from recession, unemployment and economic hardship. Although one of them, Peron, was a general and the other a civilian, this has little….


Peron did not fundamentally change the relationship between state and labor, state and individual -- he still wished to wield control, although he did value the role of the working class in supporting his personal agenda. He was less reluctant to embrace the image of the common worker than previous regimes, but he did in so in a way that did not truly empower institutions such as labor unions to act as voices for the voiceless. Instead, when he did collaborate with unions when he was coming to power or reasserting his power, it was to use them as his tool. Unions and student groups proved useful in harassing Peron's political enemies -- they allowed him to seem above the fray, while they were terrorizing the opposition through the use of illegal methods (Romero, 2002, p.212).

Still, given the alienation of the working poor from Argentinean society pre-Peron, some scholars, such….

The working conditions gradually improved and the labor market eventually came to a situation in which the income inequalities became less obvious.
Today, the Argentinean labor force is composed of 16.38 million individuals (only considering the population in the urban areas) -- the 37th largest market place in the world. In terms of distribution, most of the people are employed within the services sector (76% to be precise), 23% are employed in the industry sector and only the remaining 1% are employed in the agricultural sector. In 2009, the unemployment rate was of 9.6%, having registered an estimated 2.5% increase since its values at the end of the 1980s decade.

While the income per capita remains low in comparison to that in the United States or in other developed nations, it does still sustain itself above the global average of $10,500. The income per capita in the twenty-first century has maintained….

fiscal crisis currently facing Argentina, and what they are doing to ease the crisis.
CAUSES OF THE CRISIS

The South American country of Argentina has been on the brink of fiscal crisis throughout 2001. The default on her debt of over $130 billion would be the largest in history. Argentina's fiscal crisis did not begin over night; in fact, the roots go back to the 1980s. The country's economy has been in recession for four years, and owes over $130 billion in public-sector debt. The causes for this crisis are varied and ongoing. Double-digit unemployment has left 15 million Argentineans under the poverty line -- this is nearly half the population (Cormier).

Since December, the population has rioted over crushing poverty, and the government's "austerity" measures, which included limiting the amount of funds available for withdrawal from banks. The people protested violently, with nearly two dozen killed in riots, and two presidents….

MEMOANDUM
To: Dr. Jean Wilcox
From: Austin Gill
Date: January 31, 2019
e: Business in Argentina


A: Executive Summary

Good afternoon. I am writing to furnish you with the relevant cultural information regarding Argentina that could be pertinent in your forthcoming business trip. In basic terms, Argentinas culture is much different from that of the United States - which effectively means that the successful operation of an enterprise in the country will call for proper understanding of the social behaviors as well as customs of the people of Argentina.

Young Female CEO
Argentinas masculinity score on Hofstedes 6 Dimensions of Cultures model is 56, which is reflective of the presence of slightly more Masculine than Feminine elements (Hofstede Insights, 2019). This effectively means that while you should not expect to face severe gender bias as a female executive, you might not be taken seriously in some settings owing to….

Mercosur is the fourth largest integrated market and is the second largest in the Americas (Paolera & Taylor, 1999). NAFTA is first. In May of 2008 Argentina was also elected to the Human Rights Council.
There have also been UN peacekeeping operations in places like Cyprus, Haiti, Kosovo, and the Middle East that have used Argentine troops (Paolera & Taylor, 1999). In 1990, diplomatic relations with Argentina were restored and many countries invest in Argentina (Paolera & Taylor, 1999). The U.S. is one of them, and is the sixth largest investor (Paolera & Taylor, 1999). In the pharmaceuticals sector, the UK is one of the biggest investors (Paolera & Taylor, 1999). It is easy to see that Argentina has been through a lot but it has emerged stronger and is capable of doing a great deal for other countries as well.

Dirty War in Argentina Is
PAGES 4 WORDS 1326

Most of them never returned after their abduction. Identification of corpses found was impossible because most were maimed and unrecognizable (Malammud Goti, 1996:47).
Aside from the disappearances of accused rebels, Brysk (1994) wrote that:

"The Argentine military even introduced a new form of human rights abuse: the kidnapping of missing children. Pregnant women were detained, tortured, and mistreated until they gave birth. The mothers were killed, while the children were taken and illicitly adopted by friends and relatives of the torturers."

As Norden (1996) provided,

"I was very moved to learn that some of the found children had long been suspicious of their origins…"

Evidently, to further prevent the uprising of anti-government protesters, even innocent newborns were used to silence their families. According to globalsecurity.org, casualty count from this war ranged from 10,000 to 30,000 people.

Amidst all these, the futility of the justice system and the press were evident. The justice system merely 'heard'….

Amalia
A brief look into Argentinian literature

Countries in recent history have sought independence from their mother country to create a country and government for the people and by the people. This was seen in the United States, to some extent in China, and most recently in the last century in various parts of South America. Argentina, a land of constant political instability, racial discrimination, and gender issues, as seen conflict arise for two centuries. From these conflicts emerged writers who sought to show the struggle between the people of Argentina and their rising concerns with identity and development of a nation.

Amalia is a novel written by Jose Marmol, an exiled Argentinian author who wrote the story in order to criticize the ruler of Argentina from 1829 to 1852, caudillo Juan Manuel de Rosas. The author placed the setting in a Bueno Aires post-colonial period done in two parts. It functions as….

By mobilizing women in the name of Peron, Eva was able to use women to evangelize the greatness of Peron to their families, and to count upon their turn-out in the streets on prominent festival days. She also took special care to help downtrodden women through her Foundation.
Plotkin suggests that Peron's rise to power was not merely based on charisma. The Peron regime created institutions that supported its quasi-religious cult of personality. The educational, bureaucratic, and social structures of the land all conspired to keep Peron in power. Textbooks, national holidays, myths disseminated through the media about the rise of Peron's wife up from poverty, and gift-giving all created a system of interconnected symbols and rituals that made Peronism seem legitimate. Populism itself can be a manufactured entity.

A common question not just in regards to Peron, but about many populist figures that betray their constituencies is how people can….
