MERCOSUR’s Role in Argentina’s Economic Collapse
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing whether MERCOSUR can be held responsible in any way for Argentina’s economic collapse in 2001-2002. MERCOSUR brought promise of increased trade with South American neighbors until the Argentine economy could improve to the point that it could attain membership in NAFTA. There were other factors at work, however, and the growth expected to originate with MERCOSUR-based trade never materialized. MERCOSUR could have no influence on factors such as tax structure, central banking and fiscal policy, all of which can be shown to have direct influence on Argentina’s economic collapse.

Nicaraguan Influence on the United States
[ send me this paper ]
A 9 page research paper that examines the relationship between these two counties. The writer argues that the history of Nicaragua and that of the United States has long been intertwined. The U.S. has felt that an interest in Nicaragua was crucial to its national interest and security since the middle of the nineteenth century. However, no relationship works in only one direction. Just as the United States has influenced the course of historical development in Nicaragua, this involvement has necessarily involved a Nicaraguan influence in U.S. culture. This influence has largely manifested itself in much the same way that U.S. involvement in Vietnam caused a corresponding dissention movement that had a great influence on the political and cultural atmosphere within the United States.
