Abstract
This paper explains that Juan Peron made a mark in the history of Argentina as the creator of 'Peronism.' The paper points out that, although his term of office was cut short by his early death from pneumonia, the government of Juan Peron was one of the most progressive in Latin American history in the 20th century, accomplishing such acts as forming trade unions in every industry, establishing universal Social Security, and making education free to all who qualified. The paper concludes that the Peron regime can be considered as a success because the ideals of Peronism are still utilized and applied in many of today?s governments around the world.

From the Paper
"Despite the many supporters that Juan Peron had gained at the start of his political career, Peronism was not able to carry all classes in the Argentine society. Particularly the higher classes did not agree with the Peronism government because it burdens the rich citizens
with heavy taxes. The idea of Peronism was viewed as improving the lives of the poor while bringing down the living conditions of the rich."

Abstract
This paper examines how, in June 1943, Juan Domingo Peron suddenly burst onto the Argentine political scene as the new "strongman" behind the military junta that took power and how, although previously unknown, he was to become the pivot around which Argentina's power struggles would revolve for the next three decades. It looks at how Peron represented himself as a leader for the common people, how his administration-embezzled funds, stole from the workers ,and how, with the help of his wife, Eva Peron, who became a spiritual symbol for the nation, he reigned over Argentina until after her death. His government was overthrown by a military coup in 1955.
From the Paper
"The rise of Juan Peron was as Vadney put it a ?lucky break?. As a result of the coup in 1943, ?few of the officers involved had any better ideas about how to manage the new political classes that had been forming over the last several decades. However, one among their number did. This was Juan Peron.? As a member of the War Department, Peron was in a position to influence appointments in the army and thus to increase his personal following among the officer corps. In addition, the Labor Department provided an opportunity to cultivate the masses, mainly by intervening in strikes to win settlements favorable to the working class and by co-opting the trade union leadership."

Juan and Eva Peron, 2007.

Abstract
The paper discusses how, during the Peron years, Evita Peron successfully created a cult of personality around Juan Peron, as leader of the Peronista movement. The paper further discusses how Eva suggested that non-support for Peron and Peronismo was inherently unpatriotic. The paper examines how, in 1952, the popular Eva Peron's death hastened the decline of her husband's political fortunes. The paper further examines how the unified national support for Peron unraveled, causing the military to seize power from him.
From the Paper
"Within Argentina itself, however, the Peron regime appealed widely to the masses, especially the poorest, e.g., the trade union descamisados, who most strongly supported it. Further, with significant help from Evita Peron's brilliant public relations strategies and tactics, the early years of Juan Peron's presidency encouraged an enthusiastic new Argentine nationalism. This was also in part because the Perons' leadership was both strongly nationalistic and strongly anti-United States. The United States was considered (and not inaccurately) by the Argentines and other Latin American nations to be grasping, imperialistic, and opposed to Latin American prosperity and self-sufficiency (Cockcroft). Juan Peron and peronista national policies appealed to average Argentines, at least at first, because Peron promoted national unity and promised increased prosperity; self-sufficiency, and an overall better way of life."

Peron and Vargas, 2004.

Abstract
This paper discusses how both Juan Domingo Peron of Argentina and Getulio Vargas of Brazil were very influential people in the evolution of their nations and their region as a whole. It looks at how both of them were highly popular leaders in their time and enjoyed almost godlike status in their nations. It analyzes how both men took power when their countries were suffering from recession, unemployment, and economic hardship. It also shows how, due to the very different nature of the two nations and the time at which they took control of them, the two leaders were very different.
From the Paper
"Vargas? regime was largely uncontested during the twenty four years of his rule. This is largely due to the fact that his power within Brazil was absolute, and no one could contemplate opposing him. Furthermore, Vargas always held out the possibility of making a deal with the opposition to include them in his administration, which was a powerful sop designed to keep people faithful to him. On the other hand, Peron?s regime lasted less than ten years, and was followed by a coup that saw him toppled and sent into exile."

Abstract
In Jack Larkins' book "The Reshaping of Everyday Life", the author clearly explains the progress, hard times, disease, slavery and new ways of life between 1790 to 1840. The paper shows that the book presents us with a good understanding of how hard our ancestors must have worked to offer us a better life in the future.
From the Paper
"People married between 19 and 23 usually, and had huge parties to celebrate their marriage. After a year of marriage the couple usually started having children. It wasn't unusual for a couple to have seven or eight children. When some children were born, it wasn't until the child was a few months old before the parents would name it. Risk of death was great during the child's fragile first months so the parents would try hard not to get too attached."

From the Paper
"The Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States, signed in December of 1933, established the criteria that a state must meet as a person of international law: a permanent population; a defined territory; a government; and the capacity to enter into relations with other states. These criteria entail two aspects of sovereignty: an internal one referring to a government's authority over a defined territory and the population within, and an external dimension referring to a state's recognition by other states. Since 1933, however, the international system has undergone many changes: WWII, the rise of the United States, the creation of the United Nations, decolonization, the Cold War, the fall of the Soviet Union, the growth of democracy, the birth of the European Union, and the emergence of an active international community."

Reshaping American Law, 2002.
This paper discusses the ways in which the face of American law is steadily changing.

Abstract
The paper looks at the elements within the practice of law in America that have been changing, including the shift of the balance of power within the profession toward today's younger lawyers. The writer also cites the growing number of women and minorities as well as an increasing number of "employees" who are replacing the old model of professional independence, the solo practice.
From the Paper
"In many ways the huge growth in the number of lawyers and the increased competition will, as Abel claimed, contribute to the overhaul of the profession. As Heinz's and Laumann's study of the social structure of the Chicago Bar shows, for example, the sharp division of labor along personal- and corporate-client lines has a deep effect on the coherence of the profession. In the 1950s, for example, the bar would probably have reached a quick consensus that only lawyers should be allowed "to search real estate titles and handle the closings of home sales," barring anyone else from performing these lucrative tasks by making such actions "the unauthorized practice of law" (Heinz & Laumann 31-32). But with today's growing specialization and increased competition among lawyers themselves, the lawyers who represent real estate brokers and title companies--and whose clients would rather not employ lawyers for such functions--are pitted against the lawyers whose middle-class clients buy and sell homes and businesses. The latter group depends on real estate closings as a major source of income and the two sides clash, leaving the profession as a whole unable to support the inclusion of this profitable activity within the profession's prerogatives."

Abstract
This paper provides an overview of Eva "Evita" Peron's life. The author discusses how Eva spent her early years in abject poverty and as a misfit in Argentine society. The author also discusses how she, after a school play, decided to become an actress and trekked to Buenos Aires. While Eva struggled as an actress, her numerous lovers provided her with security and would eventually allow her to meet the Juan Peron, the up-and-coming military command who would eventually become president of Argentina. Eva eventually married Peron, and acting as First Lady, held a considerable amount of power, power which she used to benefit the poor and feminist concerns. While often compassionate, she despised (and was despised by) the upper classes and could be harsh toward dissidents. After her death by uterine cancer in 1952 at age 32, the country went into mourning.

From the Paper
"Many authors have written versions of the Don Juan legend according to their own interpretations. Since an individual is shaped by the prevailing society, each author tells the legend according to how he or she sees society. Thus, each author attempted a modernization of the legend, so that the original meaning isn't lost, though the words, beliefs, and character attire have been altered to fit the norms of the author's present society.

Abstract
Ernesto ?Che? Guevara, the international revolutionary, and Eva ?Evita? Peron, Argentina?s influential First Lady during Juan Peron?s first term as President, are perhaps the most recognizable Argentines of the 20th century. Che?s bearded, beret-wearing image leaps out at every protest demonstration, whether it is a sit-in for higher wages, a walk for the cause of peace, or a fiery protest against international trade talks, while Eva Peron has become an unofficial saint in the country of her birth, apart from being the subject of theatrical musicals and a Hollywood movie. This essay compares and contrasts the lives and times of these two enduring icons whose legacies transcend borders and generations.
From the Paper
"The early lives of Che and Eva are a study in contrast. Ernesto was born in a middle class family and received his early education from his mother and a father from whom he inherited revolutionary literature and a hatred of the ?left fascist? dictatorship that existed at the time in Argentina, ?capitalist oligarchy? and the pervasive influence of ?American imperialism.? Ernesto, however, is not known to have indulged in student politics in his early life and concentrated instead on becoming a doctor by pursuing his medical studies at the Buenos Aires University. His initial interest in medicine was focused on understanding his own infliction of Asthma that later branched off into study of leprosy?the first indication the young doctor was concerned about the sufferings of the poor and the suffering.

?Why Peron Came to Power?, 2004.
Reviews this book on the Argentinian leader edited by Joseph R. Barager.

Abstract
In the book, "Why Peron Came to Power", editor Joseph Barager states in the introduction that the intention of the book is to argue that Juan Domingo Peron was not responsible for ?all the ills and misfortunes? that afflicted Argentina following WWII. This paper reviews the book, which is a collection of contributions by 21 authors, all of whom contribute short essays on pivotal periods and events leading up to and into the Peron era.
From the Paper
"Barager?s book about the Peronist Revolution resulted from his own personal interest, which led him to receive a ?Doherty Foundation Fellowship,? allowing him to study the Peron phenomenon; and, he also was awarded a ?Penfield Traveling Scholarship? (from the University of Pennsylvania), which paid his way to live, study, research and write in Argentina from 1949 to 1950. Barager?s style is straight-forward, and matter-of-fact; he does not launch into a great deal of opinion, but rather, he tries to objectively cover the voluminous material in a non-opinionated style. The scope of the material covered in the book begins in the early 1800s in Argentina, into and partly through the 1960s."

From the Paper
"The loss of the war brought about a popular, and relatively peaceful, revolution in Argentina, which, in turn, gained the adoption of a new constitution, and the election of a new president, Raul Alfonsin, in 1983. The revolution was not just against the outcome of the war. It was also a manifestation of the extreme dissatisfaction of the Argentine public with the terror tactics employed domestically by the military governments, and with the almost complete mismanagement of the country's economy by those governments. Argentina's current constitution is designed to provide stable, elected civilian governments. It is also designed to curb the power of the military, although President Alfonsin had to deal with several attempted rebellions by factions within the country's military establishment. In October 1989, President Menem announced pardons for 39 military officers accused of human rights crimes during the period of military rule, and announced the end of human rights trials for military officers for actions alleged to have occurred during the period of military rule. These moves by President Menem were designed to enhance the country's political stability. The new constitution also provides the government with greater powers to manage the economy than were available under the constitution of 1853, as amended."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Furthermore, in January 2002, the peso was no longer tied to the U.S. dollar and the peso was floated in February 2002. As a consequence, the exchange rate plummeted and real GDP declined by 10.9 percent in 2002; however, by the middle of 2002, the Argentine economy had stabilized but at a lower level (World Factbook, 2006). During the 2-year period from 2003 to 2005, the country's GDP increased by approximately 9 percent annually, with economic growth being fueled by a resurgence in domestic demand, robust exports, and favorable external conditions (World Factbook, 2006). Although the Argentine government increased spending ahead of the October 2005 midterm congressional elections, strong revenue performance permitted the country to enjoy a budget surplus. Despite these positive signs, inflation remains a problem and has been steadily increasing; in fact, the inflation rate in Argentina reached 12.3 percent for consumer goods in 2005, but had declined to 11.1 percent by year's end (World Factbook, 2006)."

Dominican President Juan Bosch, 2005.
This paper discusses the life and work of Dominican President Juan Bosch.
2,760 words (approx. 11.0 pages), 10 sources, MLA, $ 82.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses Juan Bosch, a leader who played a central role in shaping the modern Dominican Republic, a teacher of politics to generations and a prolific writer of works of fiction, history and politics, who was known for his humanism and as an advocate of democracy. The author points out that Bosch got deeply involved in Cuban politics and even became personal secretary to President Carlos Prio Socarras, which led to his having to flee Cuba in 1952 when Fulgencio Batista overthrew Prio. The paper stresses that Juan Bosch was first and foremost a humanist, who was interested in all aspects of human interest and welfare as clearly reflected in his writings that did not merely dwell on the miserable plight of the rural poor but also reflected on the materialism and hypocrisy of the upper classes.

From the Paper
"Yet, Bosch suffered the perception that he had pro-communist leanings at several points in time. In fact, he was even jailed in Cuba in July 1952, with Communist leaders. In jail, the communists tried to get him to work on behalf of the Guatemalan regime, but he told them "he was an anti-communist out of conviction...and that therefore he could not be bought." This incidence is very revealing in so much that it proves that Juan Bosch was a person with integrity and had the courage of his convictions. More important, it reveals that while Bosch may have been concerned with the problems of the rural class and working poor, he did not believe that communism could solve their problems. On the contrary, he was a firm believer in democratic principles, which is reflected very clearly in his writings as well as in the decisions he took during his long political career."
