Abstract
This paper deals with factors affecting the development of intra-regional trade within the Andean Community and ways in which this trade could be increased through economic measures while avoiding breaking international trade rules. The paper identifies changeable problem issues, by briefly examining the history of the Community and identifying some of the problems presented by the Community?s current organization and execution of its objectives. It concludes by recommending workable solutions to these problems.
From the Paper
"The Andean Community has the dual distinctions of being one of the oldest regional arrangements in Latin America and being the second largest such arrangement in South America. Though it had a rather unsteady start, over the last decade, due to large movements towards liberalization on the part of its member nations it has seen rapid growth. This growth, while phenomenal, has mainly been concentrated in its exports to third party nations, and while intra-regional trade has improved significantly, there remains quite a significant amount of room for improvement. Given the recently made commitment to the creation of an Andean Common Market by 2005 , and the high levels of support for the project in both the public and private sectors, it is increasingly important that the Community address the issues causing its intra-regional trade to lag behind its external trade. Especially as there is the possibility that in many cases simple policy interventions could generate commerce and stimulate intra-regional trade. This plan will therefore endeavour to identify changeable problem issues, by a) briefly examining the history of the Community, b) identifying some of the problems presented by the Community’s current organization and execution of its objectives, and c) recommending workable solutions to these problems."

"?Tambo: Life in an Andean Village", 2006.

Abstract
This paper discusses Meyerson's book from a personal point of view. Offering a brief summary of the book, the author delves into the similarities and differences between the author and Quechua Indian in 'Tambo. The paper discusses their lifestyle, how they deal with emotion, their day to day life and technology in contrast and comparison to that of the author's.
From the Paper
"The ongoing struggle for survival provides an explanation for the seemingly barren emotionality which the people of 'Tambo often evidence, as well. As Meyerson explains, "people cannot allow disappearance or death, even of their own children, to interrupt the rhythms of their lives: the crops must be planted, tended, harvested, the food cooked...the living and present must be provided for" (184). In my world, we are allowed to indulge our emotions as life events unfold. Most employers even provide paid leave in the event of illness or death of workers' family members. But the seasons will not wait and time cannot be suspended when a Quechua Indian in 'Tambo disappears or becomes ill and dies. And so, the living do what they must and hold onto their grief and other emotions until the day designated for their free expression."

Abstract
This paper describes how two native tribes, the Kogi and the Kallawaya, have adapted to the conditions of the Andes mountains. There are similarities and differences in how these two groups have approached survival in this harsh climate. Both groups have relied on vertical farming and living in order to maximize arable land for food production and dwelling.
From the Paper
"Ancient Andean Tribes: the Kogi and the Kallawaya The Andes mountain range is home to two different groups of native dwellers. One group, the Kogi tribe, descendants of the Tairona, lives in the mountains of Colombia. The second group, the Kallawaya, is native to Bolivia. Both groups have adapted effectively to living in the harsh Andes climate; however, they have adapted quite differently from each other. This paper will be used to describe several of the similarities and several of the differences that exist between these groups. The ancient Andean tribes created a method of adapting to their environment known as 'verticality' or the 'vertical archipelago.' The tribes that lived in these hostile mountain regions created a series of pastures and croplands that often stretched for "sixty or more kilometers from top to bottom, [which] allowed a critical mass of people to assemble who could undertake the enormous work of terracing"

From the Paper
"The purpose of this paper will be to briefly describe the biosocial aspects of coca production and consumption among the indigenous peoples of the Peruvian Andes. Coca is a plant similar to the rosebush; the leaves of this plant contain a stimulating narcotic when chewed. Until the 1920s or thereabouts, depending upon prohibition by local ordinances, coca was used as the basis for flavoring popular soft drinks worldwide, hence "Coca Cola," and was a major Peruvian export commodity along with coffee. Coca is also the basis for cocaine, a powerful narcotic. At the turn-of-the-century a popular and oft-prescribed medication internationally, cocaine was gradually made illegal from the 1930s through the 1970s. In 1978, cultivation of coca for narcotics uses was made illegal in Peru. Cultivation of small ... "

Abstract
This paper offers a discussion on the Andean indigenous peoples' interest and rights regarding the politics of the Amazon. The paper begins with a general description of the Amazon and surrounding environment. The paper then looks at the effect of European immigration into the area and outlines the problems that the indigenous people face politically, socially and culturally.
From the Paper
"Basically, the difference in cultures led to many misconceptions. The natives did not wear clothing, an act that the Europeans interpreted as an obvious lack of culture. Therefore, the Europeans viewed the natives as closer to the natural world, and they became as a part of the landscape, "... somewhere between birds and trees" (Foller, 1997). Christopher Columbus observed that the native were pagans, without law and religion. Columbus could not see past his own views of culture, which included money, clothes and material things, to understand the unique culture of the natives."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine the phenomenon of modern-day violence in the Andean region, particularly Colombia. The plan of the research will be to set forth in general terms the historical, social, political, and economic context in which Andean violence needs to be understood, and then to discuss whether violence, fostered in the form of domestic government policy and as a consequence of government policies of such engaged nations as the U.S., is in fact a realistic means of putting an end to the apparently incessant violence in the region. That is, is the "carrot" stronger or more effective than the "stick" in the project of breaking the cycle of murder and suffering plaguing the Andean region?
For the last sixty years, Colombians and neighboring countries have been using the stick, praying, as it seems, that one ..."

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at climate changes and focuses on its effects on Peru, in particular. The writer explains how the background of the Peruvian people and Peru's unstable climate make Peru especially susceptible to global warming. The paper also exmaines the effects on Peru of global warming such as freezing weather, glacial retreat, El Nino and then discusses what is being done about climate change. The writer notes that climate change is a global problem and explains that it is an on going process caused primarily by global warming, harming both natural and human environments. The writer points out that because of the way the Peruvian people live, and because Peru has such an unstable climate that can be influenced by many factors, Peru is the third most susceptible country to global warming. The writer concludes that the people who depend on the Andean highlands in Peru are facing severe hardships due to global warming and notes that if the trend of climate change continues, the effects of global warming will only be felt more severely.
From the Paper
"Because the weather was freezing weather rather than hotter weather, it is harder to link this abrupt change to global warming. However, one cannot just assume the freezing weather is an anomaly because it was a national crisis that had never happened before. Global warming would mean higher temperatures; this would mean to increased levels of evaporation, and increased levels of precipitation. Therefore, one link that can be made to this unusually freezing weather would be the increased levels of evaporation leading to a higher level of snowfall and sleet in Peru. The higher levels of sleet and snowfall would contribute to the abnormally cold temperatures in the Andean highlands in the middle of July."

Abstract
This paper discusses how Peru faces many problems common to many developing countries around the world, including economic difficulties. The problems include underdevelopment in its infrastructure, including underdevelopment in its health, education, industrial, and transport sectors, and environmental difficulties, including deforestation, overgrazing, desertification, pollution; there is severe air pollution in Lima and river pollution from unregulated industries. It also examines how Peru has the added problem of coca and the illicit drugs trade. The paper looks at three global issues, in particular, the struggling economy, deforestation, and the illicit drug trade, and discusses how they directly affect the country of Peru. It also analyzes these three issues in relation to three other countries, Colombia (an Andean neighbor), Uganda (an African example of a developing country), and India (an Asian example of a developing country).
From the Paper
"In terms of the problem of illicit drugs, Uganda and India are not fair comparisons with Peru, as these two countries do not suffer from such a problem: Uganda has problems with smuggling of precious stones, but not drugs. The direct comparison here will therefore again be Colombia. As we have seen, those connected with the illegal drug trade in Colombia import coca leaves from Peru for processing to cocaine, for export to drug-users in the US and Europe. The same problems, i.e., falsely inflated economies, leading to unemployment and economic difficulties upon the collapse of this economy, also apply to Colombia. Businesses and communities in the heart of Cali have been destroyed by coca dollars, and again through their withdrawal from the local economy."

From the Paper
