  • Argentina | Freedom House Page 1 of 5
    Argentina | Freedom House Page 1 of 5 Argentina freedomhouse.org Popular support for President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner continued its decline in 2014, due primarily to inflation and insecurity. Officials devalued the peso by 19 percent in January in order to shore up international currency reserves (which fell to a seven-year low in 2014), prompting a surge in inflation. An estimated 24 to 30 percent annual inflation rate during the year eroded the purchasing power of Argentines and increased the incentive to buy black market dollars. Inflation rose in spite of the government’s price watch agreement—Precios Cuidados (“protected prices”)—which mandated reduced prices on more than 150 products sold in the largest supermarket chains. Argentina also struggled with declining public safety in 2014 as the country played an increasing role in the international drug trade. In April, a 24-hour general strike by labor unions brought large portions of the country to a standstill, affecting public transportation and government offices, and threatening the movement of the soybean harvest. Strikers demanded higher pay, lower taxes, and an increase in living standards amid the rising inflation. The Fernández administration attempted to meet the country’s persistent economic uncertainty with pragmatism. By agreeing to a $5 billion settlement, the government resolved a two-year dispute with Repsol, a Spanish company whose controlling stake in an Argentine oil firm had been nationalized in 2012. The national statistics agency made efforts to increase transparency by reporting more credible inflation data, and the government exercised fiscal restraint by cutting expensive and unsustainable water and natural gas subsidies.

  • Nuclear Capability, Bargaining Power, and Conflict by Thomas M. Lafleur
    Nuclear capability, bargaining power, and conflict by Thomas M. LaFleur B.A., University of Washington, 1992 M.A., University of Washington, 2003 M.M.A.S., United States Army Command and General Staff College, 2004 M.M.A.S., United States Army Command and General Staff College, 2005 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Security Studies KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2019 Abstract Traditionally, nuclear weapons status enjoyed by nuclear powers was assumed to provide a clear advantage during crisis. However, state-level nuclear capability has previously only included nuclear weapons, limiting this application to a handful of states. Current scholarship lacks a detailed examination of state-level nuclear capability to determine if greater nuclear capabilities lead to conflict success. Ignoring other nuclear capabilities that a state may possess, capabilities that could lead to nuclear weapons development, fails to account for the potential to develop nuclear weapons in the event of bargaining failure and war. In other words, I argue that nuclear capability is more than the possession of nuclear weapons, and that other nuclear technologies such as research and development and nuclear power production must be incorporated in empirical measures of state-level nuclear capabilities. I hypothesize that states with greater nuclear capability hold additional bargaining power in international crises and argue that empirical tests of the effectiveness of nuclear power on crisis bargaining must account for all state-level nuclear capabilities. This study introduces the Nuclear Capabilities Index (NCI), a six-component scale that denotes nuclear capability at the state level.

    Falklands March - July 1990 (Mike Traynor) I went down south long after the invasion, so we had it pretty good, up at the Mount Pleasant. Firstly, I can't remember anyone who was pleased to be selected to go! I certainly wasn't looking forward to it but just accepted it. 18 hours on an aircraft is a long time for anyone. It was quite pleasant at first arriving in Ascension, glorious sunshine, thinking this is OK. When we arrived in Ascension we were told that everyone in the Falklands was moaning about lack of mail from home. It was found out that all the mail from the previous two days had been off loaded to accommodate some essential equipment that was required urgently. To ensure we loaded as much mail as possible, everyone on board had to be weighed, together with any hand baggage you had. I think I was 500 letters and a couple of small packages. The ritual when you arrived at Mount Pleasant was that you were met by the person you were relieving and just about everyone had a placard stating only 122 days to do! A couple of stories I heard from a SWO from Kinloss who had been down three times. First time just after hostilities. Seemingly they were living in tents and ISO's, large metal shipping containers. Of course the SWO had the biggest and best container and being a good organiser, he had loads of home comforts. The container served as his office which was curtained off midway, behind which was his sleeping area.

The U.S. Intelligence Community and defense establishment was told to come up with a strategy to combat the expected strong opposition to the nomination of the critical of Israel Hagel by that nation’s lobby in the United States. The pro-Hagel circles needed a secret weapon to counteract the Israel supporters who would stress that Hagel was not supportive of the «special relationship» between the United States and Israel. There was no better way to demonstrate that Israel was no special ally of the United States but a longtime hostile intelligence threat to America by declassifying a large part of the Central Intelligence Agency‟s Damage Report arising from the intense espionage carried out by one-time U.S. Naval Intelligence spy Jonathan Jay Pollard on behalf of Israel… The declassification of the long-classified Pollard report was made on December 16, 2012. However, the first substantial media reports on the report began around December 26.

Dado que el caso argentino no se ajusta a esta perspectiva, al construir el concepto trayectoria de gabinete, el artículo prueba cómo dos causas fundamentales (la baja institucionalización de los partidos políticos y la centralidad presidencial) combinadas con dos causas próximas (el contexto en el cual asume y transcurre su mandato un jefe de Estado y las estrategias que utiliza para gobernar) definen la formación del gabinete.

El nuevo orden económico de cuño liberal que se había impuesto a partir del disciplinamiento social de la dictadura del 76 era la base del programa político tanto de los partidos de derecha en la Ar- gentina como también de los grandes grupos económicos. Lo llamativo sería que dicho programa liberal, ya en el proceso democrático, habría de ser tomado por el gobierno electo de Raúl Alfonsín en su segunda etapa. Se iniciaba en la Argentina un nuevo ciclo signado esta vez por las democracias de mercado. Los regímenes democráticos posdictadura en América latina, inclu- ido nuestro país, presenciaron en este período un ordenamiento y posicionamiento de los grupos de presión que definirían sus formas de legitimación y representatividad.
