Noriega's early life and career. His role as a U.S. government double agent, and in Nicaragua. The 1989 U.S. invasion of Panama. Capture of Noriega. His U.S. trial for criminal drug operations.
Paper Introduction: MANUEL NORIEGA'S RULE IN PANAMA
INTRODUCTION:
Noriega was a corrupt dictator heading an efficient narco-militaristic regime in Panama. He was involved in drug trafficking, arms smuggling, money laundering, and the ruthless oppression of his people. He also systematically violated the AmericanPanamanian Canal treaties and harassed U.S. forces and institutions in Panama. (Sosa, 16)
The 1989 U.S. invasion of Panama was the first American use of force since 1945 that was unrelated to the cold war. It was also the first largescale use of American troops abroad since Vietnam and the most violent event in Panamanian history. It ended with the unusual capture of Manuel Antonio Noriega, Panama's head of state, who was then brought to the United States and tried for cri

Read this research paper. Paper Abstract: Describes his vital role in defending the indigenous peoples of the New World. His life as a missionary, historian and theologian. How his writings exposed the evil mistreatment of Indians by the Spanish. How his writings created The Black Legend. Criticism of his one-sided view of Indians and Spaniards.
Paper Introduction: This study will explore the vital role played by Bartolome de las Casas (1474-1566) in defending the rights of the indigenous peoples of the New World. While it is not accurate to say that he was the "savior of the Indians from Spanish cruelty," he certainly played a role in limiting that cruelty, risking much in doing so. Historical controversy continues to swirl around his life and works centuries after his death. While some critics argue that he was not the radical reformer he is pictured as being by his admirers, it is nevertheless clear that considering the harsh colonial era in which he lived, in which indigenous peoples were conventionally seen as less than human, de las Casas was indeed a brave supporter and defender of those people. One of the most compelling aspects of de las Casas's story is the learning process he himself went through as he awakened to

Contends that although the poor were more free, they still had little economic or sociopolitical opportunities. Challenges of polstcolonial period. Popular revolts. Role of the elite & liberal leaders and their desire to keep power.
Paper Introduction: This study will examine how five writers portray the role of the poor indigenous peasantry in the changing sociopolitical structure of Latin American nations in the postcolonial era. In general, the authors agree that while the indigenous peasantry did see some betterment of their sociopolitical positions, whatever improvement or reform came was far from what they might have hoped would come with liberation from colonial power. For the most part, the poor were more free, but with little opportunity economically or sociopolitically to take advantage if that freedom. This concern of each of the authors will be the central focus of this study: the changes in the economic and sociopolitical situations of the poor indigenous peasantry, and the nature of their integration as colonialism fell away as the dominant force holding society together and defining the

Paper Introduction: The Authoritarian Strain in Latin American Political Culture
An examination of the authoritarian strain in Latin American political culture might begin with a brief look at the Spanish conquistadores who carved out the great Spanish Empire in the Americas. Cortés, Pizarro, Balboa, and Coronado, although independent and autonomous entrepreneurs financed by themselves and by individual investors, were soldiers first. Their mentality and temperament may have somehow planted the seeds, figuratively or literally, for what was yet to come in the New World.
What came were the political leaders of the 19th century: Simón Bolívar, José de San Martín, and Francisco de Miranda –
all soldiers first and “liberators” of their countries later.
Argentina-born San Martín served with Spanish armies in both Europe and Africa, returned to join the Argentine independence mov

Read this research paper. Paper Abstract: Examines the country's social structure as reflected in two books. Both authors agree that Brazilian society is divided into the powerful wealthy few and the many poor resulting in social, political, legal & economic injustices. Relationship between the Rainforest & poor & exploited workers. Books are: THE BURNING SEASON by Andew Revkin and LATIN AMERICA: BLOCKATES TO DEVELOPMENT by Robinson Rojas.
Paper Introduction: The social structure of Brazil, as reflected in Andrew Revkin's The Burning Season: The Murder of Chico Mendes and the Fight for the Amazon Rain Forest, is starkly divided into the few wealthy and the many poor. The wealthy few are the large landowners and the many poor are the laborers and farmers and squatters who live on the fringe of the rain forest, barely surviving. The result is a society of gross social, political, legal and economic injustices for the many poor in their struggle against the powerful and rich.
In general, this social structure reflects as well the social structure in Latin America in general. However, what makes the situation in Brazil even more tragic and disastrous is that the greed and inhumanity of the few wealthy landowners is destroying not only the lives of the many poor but the life of

Paper Introduction: Human Rights and Economics in Latin America
Introduction
In the late 1980s, U.S. General John R. Galvin, former commander-in-chief of the American Southern Command, commented that there was no strong basis for democracy in Latin America (Manwaring & Prisk, 1988). It was General Galvin’s opinion that while every country is different and South America is not a homogenous unit or organization, the revolutions of Latin America in the struggle for independence were revolutions of a Spanish elite to free themselves from Spain in order that they could do whatever they wanted to do in running their governments. The neglect of indigenous people or for the vast majority of the poor and the campesinos that emerged during the struggles for independence has continued to the present day. As

Paper Introduction: The Case of Argentina and the IMF
Statement of Purpose
For many years, Argentina served as the “poster child” for
obedience to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and its austerity program, a program designed by the IMF to assist heavily indebted and economically troubled nations regain their economic footing and achieve stability (Healy and Seman, p. A34). In the 1990s, Argentina experienced an end to years of hyperinflation and stagnation when the Argentine peso became stable after being pegged to the U.S. dollar and economic growth registered at a solid 8 percent annually (Healy and Seman, p. A34). Central to this stabilization was the “convertibility” factor, in which pesos and dollars became virtually interchangeable. However, over time, this (coupled with other fiscal, tax and

Paper Introduction: EXPLORING BRAZIL’S EXTERNAL DEBT PROBLEM
Introduction
This research explores Brazil’s external debt problem. The external debt of country reflects claims on the country’s wealth by entities located outside of the country. Such claims may be against the country’s government or they may be against non-governmental entities in the country (International Monetary Fund, 2001).
Brazil’s total external debt at the end of May 2002 was US$208.2 billion. This level of external debt was down slightly from the end of December, when the level was US$209.9 billion, and it was down substantially from the US$225.6 billion level at the end of 1999 (Central Bank of Brazil, 2002). High levels of external debt are not new to Brazil. The situation involving external deb

Argues he is a leader seeking alternatives to extremes of the right and left, with leanings toward the right. Use of drug sales to support rebel and anti-rebel forces. Role of American support.
Paper Introduction: New Colombian President Alvaro Uribe, inaugurated on August 7, 2002, cannot be taken seriously as a man seeking peace with the rebel movement, including FARC, but he has proved effective in appearing to be a leader at least seeking an alternative to the extremes of the hard-left and hard-right. Underneath this alternative approach, however, Uribe seems to be far more a hawk than a dove. Increasingly, he appears to be pursuing a policy with the intention of defeating the various rebel factions, with the unofficial aid of the right-wing paramilitary forces. Of course, even if Uribe seriously pursued peace negotiations with the rebels, there is no guarantee that any meaningful results would follow. The war has been going on for 38 years, and the two sides (or more, if the rebel factions and paramilitary forces are seen as separate entities) seem too far apart to hold much hope

Dona Maria Roldan, prominent female supporter of Peron and member of Laborista Party and a shop steward in Argentina's meat-packing industry. Their accomplishments.
Paper Introduction: This paper is a discussion of the female ideal in Argentine society in the middle of the twentieth century and the ways in which this ideal was complicated by class issues, focusing on selected quotes from two of that society’s more prominent women.
Dona Maria Roldan was a prominent female supporter of Juan Peron and a representative of the laborista party as a shop steward in Argentina’s meat-packing industry. Eva Duarte Peron, “Evita,” was the wife of the president and her nation’s most famous woman. Each was empowered and restricted by the boundaries of Argentina’s definition of the role women “ought” to play in society and the confines of being members of the working class. These limitations allowed both to do important work but also defined the way in which they were permitted to view themselves and talk and think about what they were able to accomplish.

Taino rebellion against Spanish colonization. Sugar production and need for labor. African slave trade; ruthless conditions and treatment. Erosion of slave system in 1850s. Puerto Rico and independence movement.
Paper Introduction: In 1493 Columbus made his second trip to the New World. Landing in Puerto Rico, he claimed it for Spain. He believed the land to be rich with gold; soon the local population was enslaved in the endeavor to remove that gold and send it back to Spain. The population of the island consisted primarily of 60,000 Taino or Arawak Indians. The enslavement of the Tainos was a relatively easy process for the Spanish. The Tainos were a fairly friendly people and initially believed the Spaniards were Gods. The gold mines were played out relatively quickly. Within twenty years the mines stopped producing well and the Tainos had staged their first major uprising. While this was essentially the end of the golden era of gold mining in Puerto Rico it was only the beginning of slavery; that would not be entirely abolished until 1873 (The Tropics Online).

Paper Introduction: This research examines the impact and legacy of Pablo Escobar in Colombia. The research will set forth the context and background in which Escobar's high public profile emerged and then discuss how he was able to consolidate power in the country, with a view toward evaluating present-day attitudes toward him and his activities.
The legacy of Pablo Escobar in Colombia begins with the country's problematic social and political status through much of the 20th century. In his book on Escobar, Bowden says that the modern history of Colombia starts with the 1948 murder of Jorge Eliécer Gaitán, a progressive socialist of indigenous Colombian origin whose populist appeal and social-reform agenda ameliorated the sharp political divisions between the country's capitalist and Marxist elites. Gaitán, says Bowden, "seemed poise

Paper Introduction: E. Bradford Burns, in The Poverty of Progress, notes the negative effects of the nineteenth century struggle between powerful European elites and the poor people of Latin America. The basis of this confrontation was the European belief that it was a conflict between civilization and barbarism, and that progress was the means of moving the "barbarians" of Latin America toward European-like civilization:
Indeed, everywhere throughout Latin America, the elites proclaimed their mission to introduce civilization. They felt embattled. They feared the barbaric masses might engulf them and drown their cherished civilization (Burns, 1983, p. 23).
Whether by Christianization, or socioeconomic oppression and control, or force, or slavery, the European elites and their

Tactics. Connection to other terrorist groups.
Paper Introduction: Introduction
Shining Path, also known as “Sendero Luminoso” or the Communist Party of Peru for the Shining Path of Jose Mariategui, is considered by many to be the world’s most dangerous and violent terrorist organization (Shining Path, a/k/a…, 2000). The group derives its name from Mariategui, a dedicated Marxist, who once stated that Marxism was a “shining path to the future" (Shining Path, a/k/a…, 2000, p. 1). Shining Path has, however, a Maoist orientation and emerged as a splinter party of Peru’s Communist bloc. Its goal is to destroy the existing Peruvian government and to establish an Indian-led social system; this goal is to be achieved via a rural-based insurgency, facilitating the formation of a peasant revolutionary regime (Shining Path, a/k/a/, 2000).

Paper Introduction: This research examines the 1998 crisis in the Brazilian political economy, including the historical context in which the crisis surfaced the role of Brazil's political leadership and the role of external factors such as the Asian economic picture in the course of events as efforts were made to resolve all issues.
The collapse of the Mexican economy in the early 1990s and the subsequent American intervention to save Mexico from international-debt bankruptcy, was controversial in the US. Under leadership of Carlos Salinas, Mexico undertook massive internal reforms in the later 1980s and early 1990s, though domestic conditions worsened, with inflation running at 30%, real wages declining, and economic growth slowing. A longtime political rival of Salinas wrote in early 1990 that Salinas's policies would perpetuate Mexico's status as a subordinate nation to the US (C

Read this research paper. Paper Abstract: Analysis of post-Cold War economic change in U.S.-Latin American relations from loosely connected national markets to Interdependent global market. Issues of national sovereignity & free trade.
Paper Introduction:
In this modern era of globalization, traditional conceptions of national sovereignty have changed, focusing now on international economic concerns based largely upon free-trade. In this new period of international relations between the United States and Latin America, militaristic interventions to restore political democracy are simply not prudent or necessary; the cold war has drawn to an indomitable close, democracy has been satisfactorily safeguarded, and regional conflicts are(thankfully) no longer in danger of being fueled or exacerbated by superpower competition and intervention(Bouzas, pps. 171-173).
The greatest international change affecting U.S.-Latin American relations today is perhaps the steady transformation of the world economy from a series of loosely connected national markets to an increasingly interd

Paper Introduction: This paper studies the history and progress of Latinos in American society. Latino and Hispanic peoples are the fastest growing minority in the United States. Experts predict that in five years they will become the nation's largest minority group, outnumbering African-Americans. Many of their ancestors came to the New World before the ancestors of the nation's founders, yet history and social forces have made them America's newest minority and given them some of the greatest challenges to confront any racial or ethnic group trying to become part of the great American melting pot. Although Latinos are often viewed as a single group, in fact they include individuals from a wide range of backgrounds, cultures, and circumstances, bound together by a common language (which many no longer speak) and a common religion (which many no longer practice). Nevertheless,

Paper Introduction: History of Puerto Rico
Introduction
Puerto Rico has been classified as one of the world's most beautiful islands. Its sandy, white beaches entertain thousands of tourists each year. It is commonly known as the "Hawaii of the East Coast." Statehood arguably should be a simple issue, but it is not (Gallup, 1). In a recent episode of "The West Wing," a character playing an advisor to the President of the United States said "Outside of a couple of baseball players and Ricky Martin, most of the American people know nothing about Puerto Rico, nor do they care." His assistant replied, "That may be true, but they're going to have to face up to the question of what to do with Puerto Rico sooner or later." This paper addresses the question of what to do with the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, a par

Paper Introduction: The islands of the Caribbean have had been part of the history of the New World since the time of their discovery by Columbus. The island of Haiti served as the central base for the exploration and conquest of much of the Western Hemisphere and was also key in the development of slavery in the western hemisphere. The island was first sighted by Christopher Columbus in 1492, and the island played a role in Spanish history for as long as Spain has had important political and commercial interests in this Hemisphere. Haiti would become the dominant force by the nineteenth century, and the Dominican Republic would not emerge from under Haiti's shadow until 1844. The history of this region has been such that the development of democratic institutions has been difficult, and first Hispaniola and then Haiti and the Dominican Republic have been

Paper Introduction: U.S. FOREIGN POLICY TOWARD LATIN AMERICA (1889-1989)
This research paper critically analyzes American foreign policy toward Latin America during the past century. The primary objectives of that foreign policy have been to protect American national security and to further American economic interests. Secondary importance has attached to the furtherance of democracy and human rights within the Western Hemisphere. Different approaches have been taken by American foreign policy makers to achieve these goals, reflecting changing conditions and the predilections of particular administrations as well as political realities here and in Latin America. Overall, American foreign policy has been successful, but the United States has often been slow to recognize emerging trends in Latin America which needed to be taken into account and by internal

Paper Introduction: The story told in the novel In the Time of the Butterflies by Julia Alvarez is a true one, based on the Mirabal sisters, well-known in the Dominican republic for their heroic stand against the Trujillo regime and for what happened to them. Alvarez was born in the Dominican Republic, but she never knew the Mirabal sisters, as she explains in the postcript to her book where she notes that she and her family arrived in New York City in 1960 as exiles from their native land because of the Trujillo regime--her father had participated in an underground plot that was discovered by the country's secret police. Three of the four Mirabal sisters had been murdered some four months before that in what was deemed an "accident," though clearly it was not. Alvarez was a young girl at the time but could not get this story out of her mind, and she sought out more information

Paper Introduction: OVERVIEW
Emilio Azcarrage Milmo has a net worth of some $2.8 billion and may be the richest man in Latin America. In 1930 his father founded one of Mexico's first radio stations and built that into a Mexican communications empire. The father died in 1972, and the son built on his father's legacy and today controls television, radio, publishing, and satellite properties under the corporate banner of Televisa, now a publicly held stock. Televisa dominates Mexican media. Until December 1991, people could only guess at the size of Azcarraga's holdings, but at that time he opened his books in connection with a public offering of Televisa shares. The market values Televisa at $3.4 billion, and Azcarrage owns 65 percent of the 309 million shares (Millman, 1992: 150).

Paper Introduction: The history of labor unions in the twentieth century is the history of the rise and fall of an American institution. Unionism moved from the fringe position it occupied in the nineteenth century to a central position in the American economy, and more recently it has been noted that unionism has fallen on hard times, with waning membership, loss of political power, and changes in law that have undercut the movement in a variety of ways. An analysis of the development of the labor union movement in this century should point to the primary reason or reasons leading to change in union density, first contributing to the increasing density of union membership and then to the lessening of that density in recent years.
Unionism started in the nineteenth century with the coming of the industrial revolution and the expansion of the United States

Paper Introduction: BRAZIL
Introduction
Brazil is the giant of Latin America, with over half its population and a larger economy than the rest of the continent combined. Even by global standards it is a giant, with one of the ten largest world economies and the fifth-largest land area (Hoover's Handbook, 1993, p. 520). The potentials and problems of the Brazilian economy are in proportion to the country itself. Brazil possesses great potential natural wealth, with a broad range of resources. The Brazilian economy can also lay claim to a thriving high-tech sector, and its arms industry has achieved notable success in export markets.

Paper Introduction: European immigrants continued to come to Latin America in the national period for a number of reasons, many economic. Immigration was important to Latin America for many reasons, and the issue is examined by Morner in both quantitative and qualitative terms. He says that quantity is easier to examine than quality. By 1940, no less than 30 percent of the population of Argentina was born abroad, while by contrast, the percentage in the Untied Stats has never been higher than the 1910 figure of 14.7 percent. Most of these immigrants were of productive age, which also means that they would have more children. The Argentine population did indeed grow rapidly, increasing from 800,000 in 1841 to 14 million in 1940. Mass immigration in Brazil affected only one part of its immense territory so that the foreign-born reached only 19 percent.

Paper Introduction: Latin America is a region showing extremes of great wealth and utter poverty in country after country. Theorists have indicated that one of the reasons for this is the nineteenth and early twentieth century patterns of political and economic development as Latin America was tied to the countries of the so-called First World, meaning Europe and the United States.
