Abstract
In this paper, the writer states the policies of Hugo Chavez, the president of Venezuela and discusses his obvious abuse of power and their repercussions not only on America and the world but also on Venezuela itself. The writer discusses how Hugo Chavez's vision of utopia can lead Venezuela's economy into a terrible crisis. The writer concludes that such utopia could end in further unemployment and poverty, since the country's major earning is through oil production which itself faces upheaval, not to mention the overburdening of economies of America and the world.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"What Chavez is actually trying to do is shift the customer base of P.D.V.S.A., the oil company owned by the state of Venezuela towards Asia where the increasingly oil-thirsty China would welcome it. This would make Venezuela less dependent on US and other neighboring states. Chavez has signed a deal to build oil and gas pipelines between Maracaibo Basin in Venezuela and the Caribbean and Pacific coasts in Colombia which would enable him to ship petroleum to China without using the Panama canal. This would allow him to cut deliveries to those who oppose him and hence forcing them into seeking other sources of oil at of course greater costs. As if this was not enough; Chavez has also announced plans to annul all mining concessions, which were previously granted to private companies. The state mining corporation of the country Corporacion Venezolana de Guayana, CVG, is reviewing many of its contracts and each of them would be modified according to the new laws."

Abstract
This paper discusses that, after a two-month long oil strike, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is assuring voters and foreign investors that the Venezuelan economy is on track to rebound but economic; but, geopolitical indicators point to a prolonged aftershock for Venezuela and the region. The author points out that the country's overdependence on oil has overexposed the economy to the high volatility in oil prices and the resultant "booms and busts" of the oil industry cycle. The paper reveals another problem: Chavez' s handling of the strike risks tarnishing Venezuela's reputation as one of the regions more stable democracies.
From the Paper
"Venezuela is also in the midst of a difficult restructuring of its foreign debt, which totals $23 billion, leaving it less flexibility in the use of its reserves. President Chavez stated at the end of March that the country would be able meet its $2 billion in foreign debt obligations in 2003 and stave off any defaults. An important component of the foreign debt refinancing is the country's intention to issue a voluntary bond swap. A credit default would jeopardize the security exchange and could trigger further defaults."

Abstract
This paper explains that, in Venezuela, there are serious shortcomings in the coverage and ability of the health services, which are made up of the public sector, which bears the greatest responsibility for providing health services; the private sector; and the mixed, or social security, sector. The author points out that the demographic transition in Venezuela, which began with a decline in infant and child mortality, has resulted in the aging of the general population, with associated increases in chronic and degenerative diseases and disabilities. The paper relates that, even while the Venezuelan's social security system is completely destroyed, with a scarcity of drugs and an administrative collapse, there should be an improvement in the preventive policy, especially in the rural areas of the country and in regard to the indigenous people because the future of the epidemiological situation will depend on the country's effort to prevent and control it.

From the Paper
"Venezuela was affected by the economical and social crisis that hit Latin America in the 1980s and continued unto the 1990s. As a result, the population has been affected by growing poverty and violence, while the political system has weekend as well as corruption, which has become more widespread. The country's socio-economic situation has been adversely affected by an inflation rate of around 20 percent (13) resulting in a widening gap between the rich and the poor (up from 7.5% according to the indicators reported by the PAHO by 1995). This difference between the populations, together with a collapsed security system has increases the absolute risk of significant social problems, like accidents and violence. In Venezuela approximately 25 people day died due to common crime, this is more than what was killed in the war with Iraq."

The author points out that there are only two seasons in Venezuela--the wet season from May to November and a dry season; the average temperatures are temperate ranging between 70F and 85F year round but the mountains often record much cooler temperatures. The paper relates that the Venezuelan economy is dominated by petroleum products; ninety-five percent of the country's exports and 30 percent of its gross national product are petroleum related.
From the Paper
"It was on Christopher Columbus' third voyage, in 1498, that he first spotted Venezuela, after landing on Trinidad, which lies across the Gulf of Paria from the Venezuelan coast. He ventured to the mainland a few days later and declared the region for Spain as a Spanish colony. Twenty-four years later, the first permanent Spanish settlement, Nuevo Toledo, was established. After many years of struggle, in 1830, Venezuela finally became a sovereign country."

Abstract
This paper explains that corruption and dissatisfaction with the Venezuela democratic government brought Hugo Chavez to power. The author underscores that, because of Chavez's hostility towards the United States and the dependency of the U.S. on Venezuelan oil, an alternative to the current state of affairs between the US and Venezuela must be developed. The paper explores several possible alternatives to the current state of affairs between Venezuela and the United States, all carry differing costs and benefits the United States. These include using an oil embargo against Venezuela, which would severely affect the popularity of Chavez's government by cutting the funding for several of his popular social programs, developing anti-Chavez, pro-U.S. sentiment in the region of Latin America in an effort to use multilateral cooperation to control Chavez and his foreign policy agendam, and ignoring Chavez's anti-U.S. rhetoric and developing bilateral relations dealing with several issues of mutual concern. The paper concludes that the best alternative is using multilateral support to control Chavez, which has both the greatest benefit and the lowest cost and could help U.S. and Latin American relations in the future.

From the Paper
"Costs to developing this alternative are relatively few and would only significantly affect American policy in the Latin American region with relatively little impact on domestic issues. While the turbulent history of U.S.-Latin American relations have led to a large amount of hostility and suspicion on the part of Latin American governments towards any American involvement in the region, such a low opinion of the United States must change in order to develop the regional support necessary to control Chavez."

Population Trends and Effects on the Social Structure
From the Paper
"Industrialization and increasing economic complexity, population mobility, and urbanization have all tended to erode the bases on which man-to-man trust can be established. This was apparent specifically across class lines. In the large cities the quality of everyday life has become mostly objectified. Similarly, large foreign-based corporations on which many Venezuelans depend for their living provide scant basis for the development of patron -retainer links (Herring, 75). The values of the relationship persist, nevertheless, and many are adapted to the new social and economic order. The paternalistic employer or landowner who cared for his retainers and gave them advice and a measure of security is disappearing from the social scene."

From the Paper
"Venezuela was an economically promising Latin American country that somehow failed to reach its potential, thus triggering its involvement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Venezuela was once the wealthiest country in Latin America, more accustomed to acting as a donor than as a recipient of foreign aid. The country's fall from grace cannot be traced to one single factor, instead a multitude of complex fiscal problems is to blame.
Venezuela once enjoyed the status of an upper-middle income country in the global hierarchy. In 1988, the country's gross domestic product (GDP) was approximately US$58 billion, or about US$3,100 per capita (Haggerty, 1993, p. 81). Blessed with an abundance of natural resources, Venezuela's relative prosperity ground to a halt during the 1980s. Previously spurred by..."

The role of the IMF is examined through a review of the organization's purpose and the contemporary status of the institution. The probable future of the IMF is also considered.
The origins of the IMF may be traced to an international recognition of the debilitating character of such activities, and of the need to establish some sort of mechanism through which international economic stability could be both created and maintained (Heller, ..."

Outline:
MERCOSUR and the Computer Industry
Globalization and the Law
Changes in the Market
Effects on the Value Chain
From the Paper
"Changes in cash flow and operations are intimately connected to both the inbound and outbound portions of the value chain. Logistics means transfer of value from the seller to the customer (FTAA, 2003). One of the key concerns for Venezuelan companies will be protecting their market position. Legal and intellectual property rights are an important part of this equation, but so is the ability to anticipate the reactions of customers to new competition (FTAA, 2003). MERCOSUR specifically addressed and took steps to protect software and innovative hardware advances in its language (FTAA, 2003). This alleviates many worries of this nature for all technologically based companies, including Technodyne. Service marks and trade marks are also protected. "

Clorox's Brita Water Purifiers, 2005.
This paper discusses the possibility of the Clorox Company exporting Brita water purifiers into Venezuela.

Abstract
This paper explains that Brita's main strength is that it is the world leader in the consumer filter market; its main weakness is that, for much of the world, it would be considered a luxury item although it has an opportunity to position itself differently for the Venezuelan market than for others. The author points out that the market for this sort of luxury item in Venezuela is not segmented; it is necessary to attract virtually the entire leisure-class market, which lives mainly in more heavily populated areas along the coast. The paper concludes that, while there are both drawbacks and opportunities to entering the Venezuelan market, the relative ease of entry and the commitment of the Venezuelan government to improve economic conditions and the perceived need for better water suggest that it is an excellent point of entry into the South American market.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The good news in Venezuela, germane to the current project, is that the nation is conceivably getting wealthier. The bad news is that, unless things have changed since 2000, the percentage of Venezuelans living in poverty, and unlikely to be a market for Brita products unless government-subsidized, is increasing. Between 1991 and 2000, the percentage of households living on income of less than $2 (U.S.) per day rose from 32.2 percent to 48.5 percent. While the inequality gap may be problematical for the country, however, it may open an obvious set of markets-the government subsidized one for poor people with substandard water, and the affluent one. "Currently, the richest 20 percent of Venezuelans receive 53 percent of all income, while the poorest 20 percent account for only a three percent share of the country's total income." "

Abstract
The following paper is a proposal for a larger essay discussing the impact of globalization - especially business globalization - upon the Yanomami people of the Amazon regions of Venezuela and Brazil. The paper provides an annotated bibliography and also suggests some areas of study. In particular, the paper focuses upon the social and cultural impact of globalization upon the Yanomami.
From the Paper
"The Yanomami people of Brazil have endured much in recent decades as white settlers and then western corporations violated the formerly pristine lands of the Amazon rainforest and greatly disrupted the indigenous ecosystem. More importantly for our discussion, however, the arrival of late-twentieth century globalization has both greatly impacted the social and cultural life of the Yanomami - and exacted a disturbing toll in terms of loss of life."
