From the Paper
"Until the 1970s, the Central American nation of Mexico had a fairly limited role in international affairs. From the United States' perspective during the early to mid 20th century, Mexico's foreign policy was considered leftist and supportive of internal, revolutionary and nationalistic movements within the Central and Latin American region, rather than directly supportive of United States interests. Mexico was a relatively impoverished nation at this time, however, and was undergoing intensive internal economic rehabilitation. Mexico was not able to support its advocacy of leftist regimes with money, troops, and arms, rather Mexico used the maximum diplomatic might at its means to express its national support or discontent, particularly regarding the leadership of nations within the Central American and Latin American regions."

Abstract
This paper compares Mexican and Central American migration patterns since 1960 with an emphasis on the role of United States immigration policy and its expanding globalization efforts. The writer argues that Mexican and Central American migration patterns share similar motivating elements and consequences due to both the forces intended to curb immigration and those intended to expand American capital interests.
From the Paper
"Economic analyst Saskia Sassen writes that migration should not solely be examined on levels of internal factors such as the sending country?s political and economic problems, but rather on a level of international processes that might encourage such out-migration (Sassen 213). If this is true, for our purposes it is important to note that historically, and most importantly since 1960, U.S. foreign policy catering to globalization interests have indeed been at play in the sending countries of Mexico and Central America. As the largest employer and exporter in Guatemala by the 1930s, the United Fruit Company (UFC) serves as an early example of foreign policy benefiting these globalization efforts. United Fruit did this by securing beneficial tax agreements through shrewd manipulation of the favorable political climate and privatization of Guatemalan land. The reading by Kinzer and Schlesinger points out that the UFC enjoyed a stronghold on the export-oriented Guatemalan economy, allowing them to dictate the politics on their terms. Guatemala had grown to become an economic appendage of the U.S. as a vast portion its economy was spear-headed by la fruitera."

Abstract
In this paper, the information and statistical data provided here on the NAFTA inter-governmental negotiations and policy regulation have been brought forth. By realizing the ideology and background of why NAFTA was originally created, the paper highlights the depleted and indebted economy of Mexico in relation to America and Canada. The debt accrued by former leaders of Mexico in the 80s reveal a need for stimulus in the Mexican economy, which the Americans were all too happy to provide.
From the Paper
"The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was an economic policy engineered during a period of international expansion of U.S. markets. During the 70s the American trade markets were being subjected to Japanese and Russian competitiveness, which forced the American government to set restrictions and guidelines that helped to help form bonds that would compete on the world market. Williams (1993) states: There are a number of factors that led up to NAFTA. By far the most important is the relative decline in US international competitiveness. Pivotal to US decline is the rise of Japan as serious rival in the US domestic market as well as the global market. By the 1970s it was clear that the international trade system the US had constructed was no longer working solely in the interest of American corporations."

Abstract
Through a detailed examination of the Mexican financial crisis and a review of the nature of the structural adjustment policies that were implemented in this country, the IMF's role in the development of the crisis is examined.
Introduction
Analysis of the Mexican Financial Crisis
Relation of SAP to Political Crisis
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The World Bank and the IMF are, theoretically speaking, expected to play a positive role in the development of lesser developed economies. According to Collier, a World Bank economist, and Gunning, an economics scholar at Oxford University, the World Bank and the IMF promote economic development and stability through the application of structural adjustment policies. As explained by Collier and Gunning, who focus their discussion on the IMF, structural adjustment policies can be defined as a set of economic reform policies that supposedly aim towards the reduction of state control over the economy, the development of a liberal open market economy, and the promoting of economic growth and development through trade and foreign direct investment. This is the overall aim of structural adjustment policies with the goal being economic development and stabilization. Further, as explained by Collier and Gunning, the IMF acquires the authority to demand the implementation of such structural adjustment policies through the conditionality attached to its loans. In other words, the condition for an IMF loan, as far as LDCs are concerned, is the application of structural adjustment policies."

China Market-Foreign Exchange Rate, 2006.
A look at how China uses its foreign exchange rate to make it difficult for foreign goods and imports to penetrate the Chinese market while simultaneously encouraging foreign investment.

»

Abstract
This research examines the supposition that China utilizes its foreign exchange rate to erect an effective barrier to foreign imports of goods and services while it encourages foreign direct investment. The strategy China employs to expand its export market and minimize its import market is simple but effective and not as blatantly antagonistic as an outright tariff on imports or imposition of quotas on imported goods.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Explaining the nature of fraud, de Grey, C.J. stated that though a judgment would be res judicata and not impeachable from within, it might be impeachable from without. In other words, though it is not permissible to show that the court was "mistaken", it might be shown that it was "misled". There is an essential distinction between mistake and trickery. The clear implication of the distinction is that an action to set aside a judgment cannot be brought on the ground that it has been wrongly decided, namely, that on the merits, the decision was one which should not have been rendered, but it can be set aside if the court was imposed upon or tricked into giving the judgment."

The Mexican Muralist Movement, 2004.

Abstract
This paper explains that, by the early 1920s, Mexican Secretary of Education Vasconcelos ensured the creation of an artistic renaissance in which Mexican artists reinterpreted Mexican history in accord with revolutionary principles, locating major works of arts on the walls of public buildings and, thus, making them accessible to the most humble and unlettered of Mexicans. The author points out that Mexico became a destination of choice for Americans and Europeans with a wide variety of leftist views, ranging from liberalism to communism. The paper explores the work of Diego Rivera, unmistakably a major light in the Mexican Muralist Movement, and his wife Frida Kahlo, who was not a muralist, but who retained some of the essential characteristics that defined the Mexican Muralist Movement.

From the Paper
"Others besides Delpar regard this as ?the most fascinating phase of the whole revolutionary movement?.the attempt to readjust the spiritual and cultural background of an entire nation in accordance with the revolutionary changes that the machine age had produced.? Vasconcelos expanded cultural activities widely, including archaeology, ancient history of Mexico, religion, literature, music and the visual arts. Until then, none had ever been developed as integrated parts of the nation?s cultural heritage. The most vital and strongest to emerge, and one that has been uniquely identified with Mexico, is mural painting."

Mexico and NAFTA, 2002.
A discussion of the effects of NAFTA on Mexican foreign trade.
1,172 words (approx. 4.7 pages), 7 sources, MLA, $ 40.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how the North American Free Trade Agreement was put together in 1993 and provides agreed upon resolutions for its members when it comes to free trade boundaries and rules. It shows how NAFTA had a positive impact on Mexico?s free trade industry because it strengthened an already strong relationship between the United States and Mexico. It looks at how NAFTA has allowed Mexico to increase in stature among world nations and how it has assisted in strengthening local Mexican economies, as well by providing more jobs as increased product and service continues. It also examines how it has boosted Mexico?s trade business with Canada as well.
From the Paper
"Because Mexico and the United States have the largest mutual trade relationship in the world the economic success of those in NAFTA becomes very important. Research and history points to a continued strengthening of the relationship shared because of NAFTA not only between Mexico and the US but Mexico and Canada as well. It is obviously helpful for the US and Mexico to trade through NAFTA because of their close boundaries but the Canadian-Mexico trade business is stronger than it has ever been according to the numbers and the NAFTA created the stage for that to happen. The trade with Canada and Mexico has increased more than eight billion over the last eight years."

"Because of deteriorating relations between the United States and Muslim governments throughout the Middle East, France and other European powers such as Germany and Russia are recognizing that they must demonstrate leadership in the international community and make every effort to pursue diplomatic solutions. According to my analysis, Democratic control of the U. S. Congress, and recent calls by American leaders for a diplomacy and political solutions are providing France with an opportunity to take the initiative and play a leading international role in brokering peace agreements between Israel and the Palestinians, and some form of ceasefire in Iraq."

Abstract
This paper examines the sociological history of Mexican Americans from the annexation of Mexico after the Mexican American War to the present. It analyzes the personal accounts of three Mexican Americans from different time periods, and describes the discrimination Mexican Americans have faced throughout their history. The author states that Mexican Americans have been a valuable asset to American society.
From the Paper
"From the time of the annexation of Mexico by the United States until the present day, Mexican Americans have faced severe hardship and discrimination, but their presence in the United States has resulted in a largely positive impact on both the lives of these individuals and the nation as a whole. Many of these individuals came to the United States in search of a better, more prosperous way of life, and a large number of them succeeded in this. At the same time, they have added to the economy and cultural diversity of the United States. The narratives of three typical Mexican Americans living in different time periods, Jes?s Garza, Camelia Palafox, and Mar?a Jim?nez show the obstacles typical Mexican Americans have faced and what reward they have received."

Abstract
This essay discusses the U.S. foreign policy towards Middle Eastern and Latin American countries before 9/11 and post 9/11. The foreign policy is analyzed, its inherent problems are highlighted, and a comparison of U.S. foreign policy towards the Middle East with U.S. foreign policy towards Latin America is made.
From the Paper
"With all eyes turned toward Iraq and the Middle East, South America rarely makes the headlines in the United States. Except for perhaps tighter controls and security on U.S. borders and waterways since September 11th , it seems Latin foreign policies are not top priorities for Washington. However, recent events in October in Bolivia led to ?a massive mobilization of Indians and peasants?military crackdowns that left as many as 70 people dead?and led to the demise of the conservative Gonzalo S?nchez de Lozada government on Oct."

Politics and U.S. Foreign Aid Decisions, 2002.
An examination of the foreign policies of the Bush administration and how they determine foreign aid decisions.

Abstract
As fiscal year 2004 budget proposals are clogging up the legislative hopper, this paper reviews the Bush administration's foreign aid policies and payouts. It looks at how Bush?s conservative political philosophy effects foreign aid and why it is nearly impossible to reach an approximate figure on total U.S. foreign aid disbursements.
From the Paper
"To begin with, how much does the U.S. spend on foreign aid? According to the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB, 2002), the U.S. government poured some $23 billion into international assistance programs of one kind or another last year. Of that, $9.9 billion was ?official development assistance? to foreign nations; $12.7 billion went for ?other government assistance? to foreign nations. But those numbers do not reflect the $9.3 billion that it costs to run the U.S. Department of State (which interacts with foreign governments at many levels), nor do the numbers include the billions in secret military hardware and technologies given to nations ?friendly? to the U.S. by the Bush Administration. After all, when it comes to definitions, foreign ?aid? is foreign aid whether it is rice, milk, medical supplies, equipment for drilling wells for fresh water in Africa munitions for the Columbian government to do battle with drug lords, or millions to oil drilling companies to restart Iraqi energy facilities."

Abstract
This paper explains that foreign direct investment includes equity investment, both wholly foreign-owned and joint venture investment; contractual investment, including contractual joint ventures and oil exploration ventures; and other forms of activities, such as compensation trade, processing and assembling arrangements, and international leasing. The author points out that the purpose of foreign direct investment is to boost the economies of the host nation while providing the foreign nation with a means of investment, which is both lucrative and efficient, allowing countries to share ideas, increasing awareness of foreign markets, and developing valuable business skills. The paper relates problems involved in assessing the impact of inward investment on any individual host nation and states that the main reasons for such problems are strict labor, product, and market rules.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Although the transfer of technology can be beneficial to the economy of the host country, it can also be detrimental if the businesses in the host country or the culture of the host country are not prepared to deal with these new technologies. The Earth Summit report explains that the technology that foreign firms utilize may be inappropriate for the local needs of the host country. These technologies may also require a great deal of investment capital and negatively affect small businesses because they will not be able to adapt to the changing technological climate. In addition, the external changes that may occur may not be an improvement over the already existing approaches."

Game Theory and Foreign Policy, 2003.
Examines the importance of game theory in analyzing foreign policy decision-making and outcomes and its compatibility with other foreign policy models and systems.

Abstract
Game theory is the use of mathematical models to predict the outcome of a dispute or interaction between two or more independent actors. It has been applied in a wide range of contexts, including gambling, business and international relations. This essay examines the importance of game theory when analysing the foreign policy decision-making process. It argues that while simple games such as the Prisoner's Dilemma may not illuminate the process on their own, more complex models can offer a systemic device by which foreign policy can be analyzed more accurately.
From the Paper
"Perhaps the most widely recognised game is the Prisoner's Dilemma, which examines the choices faced by two people arrested for the same crime, and observes the likelihood that they would both accuse the other one, and thus both go to jail. When used in foreign policy analysis, it is often used to describe the nature of arms races, or the possibility of nuclear fallout. This is a non-zero-sum game, a game where it is possible for both players to lose, or to win (as opposed to a zero-sum game, where one actor's gain is always equal to another actor's loss)."
