Argentina 's Foreign Policy : Argentina

Globalization in Argentina has affected the country in numerous ways. There are many positives and negatives. Until 1999 globalization seemed to be the reason the country was so prosperous. Pope John Paul II stated, “From the ethical point of view, can be positive or negative. In fact, there is an economic globalization which brings some positive consequences, as the phenomenon of efficiency and increased production and, with the development of relations between countries in economic, can strengthen the process of unity among peoples and make a better service to the human family. However, if globalization is ruled merely by the laws of the market applied to suit the powerful, leads to negative consequences. Such, for example, the

Critical strengths are capabilities considered essential for accomplishing an objective. Argentina had several critical strengths that would serve her advantage (Vego, 2007). First off, Argentina had a moral and legal claim to the Falkland Islands (Laver, 2001, pp. 66-71). Three hundred miles off the coast of Argentina and 8000 miles from England, the Islands had been successively occupied by various colonial powers since they were first settled in 1764. The island had been under British sovereignty since the Argentinean governor was evicted in 1833. In 1960 the UN passed a declaration stating all former colonies should be allowed independence and self-determination. However, the inhabitants of the Falklands did not desire independence. With a mostly British ancestry, the citizens were content on maintaining colonial status. In 1965, the UN invited Argentina and Great Britain to resolve the issue politically (Laver, 2001, p. 100). Despite several aborted attempts to resolve the issue in the international courts, no

In the early 20th century, Argentina had a very successful economy that specialized in exporting agricultural goods. Even while the rest of Latin America struggled during the economic hardships of the 1930s, Argentina’s strong export economy allowed the country to flourish due to high international demand for their goods. Despite this early 20th century strength, Argentina’s economy fell behind as the century went on, with roots in the fact that Argentine stayed neutral for most of the war and alienated the United States. Though Argentina’s president at the beginning of the war, Roberto

Argentinian culture is a mixture of many other cultures and it has been largely influenced by Spanish colonialism and immigrants from all around the world and mostly from Europe. Buenos Aires is the capital city of Argentina. The city is also known as the cultural capital and it represents political, economic and cultural heart of the country. Argentinian culture is spreaded in lots of areas from dance to language and it has very unique sides which makes the culture extremely interesting.

The Argentine Process Of National Reorganization, more commonly known as the “Dirty War,” was a period from roughly 1974 to 1983 when the president was deposed and the entire government was taken control of by the military. This decade of civil destruction, turmoil, and human rights violations was part of the military’s plan to rid the country of the radical left and communist subversion. The junta spoke of a “New Argentina,” one full of prosperity for all its citizens, order and no longer chaos, they preached they would bring back Argentina’s glory days. For all this talk of an Argentina that would be once again a world power, no one knew of the atrocities the military would commit in the process. They did not think of the innocent lives

Jacobo Timerman’s memoir Prisoner without a Name, Cell without a Number both details Timerman’s time in captivity at the hands of the Argentine military government and examines the political climate in Argentina that allowed said government to “eliminate reality” (13) and plunge the country into chaos. Timerman exhaustively covers all forms of oppression – from various physical tortures to outright violations of the law – that the military government carries out in order to convey to the reader the idea of the military government’s “philosophy of repression” and illustrate the direness of the Dirty War. Many of the grievances committed against Timerman and his companions (like the 10,000 “disappearances,” or torture by electrocution) may stand out as particularly egregious examples of the military government’s oppression of the people. However, I believe that the military government’s hunger for complete control of Argentina and its people stands as the worst and most important aspect of its repressive philosophy, and that this need for control encouraged many of the actions that left lasting scars on both Timerman and Argentina itself.

My project is on Argentina. It is located in south, South America. The capital of Argentina is Buenos Aires. It is located on the eastern border of Argentina. Next to the Atlantic Ocean. La Rioja is a major city in Argentina, it is located in the east and approximately 725 miles from the capital Buenos Aires. The population of that city is 150,000 people. One of the former presidents of Argentina was born in La Rioja his name was Isabel Martinez de Peron. another important city is Rio Cuarto. The city is located in province of Cordoba Argentina. Rio Cuarto is located in the middle of Argentina. The population there is 159,706 people. Another city in Argentina is San Fernando del Valle de Catamarca, this city is located in northwest Argentina.

The Monroe Doctrine shaped U.S foreign policy from the moment it was passed. The U.S had always been a country that tried to remain neutral on foreign issues. Since George Washington became President, he realized that the United States needed to grow and self-cultivate before it can meddle in foreign affairs. Washington warned the next leaders of the country not to be involved in the problems of other countries as that would lead to some countries would be unwilling to trade or they would wage war when America was still in its infancy. In order to protect the long-term future of America, it could not be dependent on other nations to support it, and it had to establish itself as a strong power before it could engage in the risky activities of foreign policy. The Monroe Doctrine was one of the first policies in place which rejected the Europeans from conquering any more land in the western hemisphere, and it diminished the foothold the Europeans had because they could longer interfere or try to grow in the Americas.

In sports Argentina does dominate certain circles, Angel Cabrera won the Masters that is one of golf’s top tournaments and in tennis Gabriela Sabatini and Jaun Martin del Potro won the U.S Open in 2009.(A brief history of Argentina).

Throughout Argentina and as well many other Central American countries during that of the late 1970’s, many were going through severe political upheaval. This political catastrophe coupled with various human rights violations pushed many people to the edge and out of their homeland. Economically drained and scared for their lives Argentines sought freedom and asylum within the United States. For many this was the start of something new in a foreign country with people that speak a foreign language. Courage and bravery those are two words that in my eyes describe an immigrant that has been forced to endure so much that they leave everything they had ever known.The Dirty War of Argentina caused families to be ripped apart and people to vanish as if they had never existed. This horrendous stretch in Argentine history showcased various human rights violations, corrupt leaders, United States backed coup, death and a need for reform in a country that was broken and dismayed.

“My camp colleague Jorge was among the first to disappear, dragged from the school where he worked. Was his work towards organizing a teachers’ union a sentence of death? There was no hearing, no trial, no charges.”—Juan Mandelbaum

In Argentina, under the dictatorship of Jorge Rafael Videla, the country experienced many disappearances in the 1970s (Gardner). This was considered the Dirty War of Argentina which was a seven year war between the Argentine government and political dissidents in Argentina ("Military."). Over 30,000 Argentines, mostly innocent people, disappeared, many of which were children aged 18 years or younger. Many families lost their children and loved ones. It seriously affected all of Argentina, making a dent in their population (Goldman).
