MERCOSUR’s Role in Argentina’s Economic Collapse
[ send me this essay ]
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. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Mexican Film/Maria Candelaria
[ send me this essay ]
A 7 page research paper/essay that discusses Emilio Fernandez’s Maria Candelaria (1943) and how this film relates to the task of addressing the legacy of colonialism within the context of Mexican history. Mexico, as Andrea Noble points out, is fundamentally a “mestizo entity,” that is, it is the product of “the colonial encounter between Indians, Spaniards (and Africans)” (Noble 81). As such, the Mexican culture struggles to understand its fundamental nature and to express the cultural dichotomies held within this paradigm. One of the ways in which this task has been expressed is through cinema. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
