In our class we learned a lot about the various military regimes that occurred throughout Latin America. However out of all the ones we discussed, Brazil’s dictatorship was never mentioned. I decided to write about it, but at the same time also compare it to the other military regimes in Latin America. Unlike most of the other governments, Brazil’s military one was not as brutal. It in no way measured up to the brutality of the Argentinian dictatorship or the ruthlessness of the dictatorship in

The founding fathers of the democratic government of each country have to have the knowledge and resources that are vital for building this type of government. After establishing this government, the advancement and maintaining of this government have to have a stable environment. The stable environment includes

make the compact work? Progresa had the goal of increasing the basic capabilities of extremely poor people in rural Mexico (Levine, 2007, p.67). Progresa is a program developed by the government of Mexico in 1997, and was implemented by President Ernesto Zedillo. With the help of Santiago Levy who was an economist, Progresa was developed to help break the cycle of poverty in Mexico. In order for the compact to work between the government and the recipients, a change had to take place from the governments’

after the government realized what they got themselves into, both presidents, Zedillo and Salinas, started blaming each other this crisis. Mexico’s economic crisis could have been prevented. In the first place, the actual president at the time, Ernesto Zedillo, had the smartest idea of telling the foreign companies and corporation, that had money invested in Mexico, that he (his government) was going to devaluate the peso (on his opinion which was a need at the time, but a not so smart idea on warning

Fifty years after the military coup in Brazil in 1964, the country has been governed by an exiled professor, Fernando Henrique Cardoso, a former labor worker that was arrested during the dictatorship, Lula, and a former member of a guerrilla against the dictatorship, Dilma. The transition from dictatorship to democracy was successful, but not sufficient to establish a strong and fair government system. Political, Economic and Social Scenery: The role of labor unions, student organizations, armed

Why is the economy of Brazil extremely unstable when compared to that of Chile, even though the two countries had very similar transitions to democracy? I will also examine whether there was a drastic change in the economic policies of the government before and after democratization. Chile and Brazil faced struggles while shifting from a dictatorship to a democracy. They faced a host of social and economic issues, including corruption, inflation and internal political dispute, but Chile emerged as
