Lewis and Able examine the economic relationship between Latin America and the 'advanced' countries since their independence from Spanish and Portuguese rule.

Historical Dictionary of Argentina (Hardcover, New Edition): Bernardo A. Duggan, Colin M. Lewis Historical Dictionary of Argentina (Hardcover, New Edition)
Bernardo A. Duggan, Colin M. Lewis

Argentina celebrated a century of independence from Spain in 1910, and the republic was the tenth most important trading nation in the global economy. Although it had the promise of growth and industrial development at the time, crises, mismanagement, and unrealized potential associated with authoritarianism, populism, and military coups (culminating in thousands of "disappearances" over a period of unparalleled state terror) prevented that from happening. By 2001, Argentina announced that it would not service its foreign debt, triggering the largest default in world financial history. Since then, the country has sought to recapture the potential and promise of the past, and its place in the world while escaping from what appeared to be an interminable cycle of expansion, crises, conflict, and institutional collapse. Historical Dictionary of Argentina contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, an extensive bibliography, and more than 800 cross-referenced entries on the country's important personalities and aspects of its politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Argentina.

Argentina - A Short History (Paperback): Colin M. Lewis Argentina - A Short History (Paperback)
Colin M. Lewis
R962 Discovery Miles 9 620 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

From an inauspicious start as a muddy backwater of Imperial Spain to a global trading economy, Colin M. Lewis traces the rise and fall of Argentina in this authoritative history. At the heart of this survey is the theme of paradox: why has a country with such enormous economic potential, and such cultral sophistication, suffered so badly in recent years?Focusing particularly on the 19th and 20th centuries, the author outlines the key events, from Independence to the dirty war, and from the Falklands conflict to the economic and political crises of 2001. He also traces the tumultuous careers of such figures as Rosas, Roca, the Perons and Carlos Menem.Offering an insight into Argentina, this text explores the paradoxes of economic growth and instability, of corruption and democracy, of aspiration, achievement and disillusionment that characterize this land of the conquistadores.
