De los impulsos a la convergencia político-comercial (1989-2007) Mgter. Juan José Vagni DIRECTORA: Dra. Gladys Lechini 21 de octubre de 2008 Este trabajo aborda las vinculaciones de Argentina con el Reino de Marruecos, en el contexto de sus relaciones con el Norte de África y África, centrando su atención en el período 1989-2007, etapa en la cual se profundizó el acercamiento entre ambos actores y, consecuentemente, el afianzamiento de los lazos bilaterales. Se pretende explicar porqué las relaciones político-diplomáticas y comerciales con Marruecos se intensificaron y avanzaron en el sentido de una convergencia político-comercial, a pesar del descenso del perfil de las relaciones argentino-africanas en la política exterior argentina. El incremento sostenido en la relación bilateral se produjo debido a la implementación de una política por impulsos, de carácter agregativo, que se sostuvo a lo largo de estos veinte años, gracias a las respuestas e insistencia del lado marroquí y a los acercamientos desarrollados por Brasil hacia la región norafricana. Mientras en los noventa se avanzó con el enfoque comercialista, animado por las coincidencias ideológicas resultantes del alineamiento con la potencia hegemónica; en el siglo XXI el enfoque comercialista se acentuó, pero ahora bajo el discurso de la cooperación Sur-Sur. 2 Argentina - Moroco. From impulses to political and commercial convergence (1989-2007) This thesis deals with the relationship between Argentina and Morocco in the broader context of the argentine relations with Africa and North Africa specifically.

    The Master and Margarita Mikhail Bulgakov Pdf

    The master and margarita mikhail bulgakov pdf Continue Sometimes it's good to take on a few personal problems. I have never stopped to cross this iconic novel of Russian literature (censored like any good Russian novel), from my research in Russian language to the discovery of several passionate bloggers as I do literature. Be sure to see. But also one of those that impress you too much ... What for? I do not know. Maybe when I heard about it, I was afraid that I wasn't smart enough? Now I know I misunderstood this story. I just knew about that black cat who smokes, drinks and talks. And now I know that this book needs to be re-read. Not immediately, but in a few years. I'm sure I'll learn more with each replay. I will not try to tell a story, I make a presentation that usually is on the back of countless editions of this novel. Available in all languages, in French: Master and Margarita and Bulgakov wins the letter on his behalf. Mysterious gentleman, proclaimed himself a magician, comes to Moscow by the name of Woland, he invites himself to the conversation of two men who discuss literature in the park. The youngest is a poet, the second is Berlioz, publisher of a well-known literary magazine and one of the prominent leaders of the Moscow Literary Society. Surprised by this man's impromptu arrival, they do not know that the Russian literary world will be completely destabilized. The Wizard did not come alone: Azazello, Behemoth and Koroviev - his servants.

LADB Article Id: 77816 ISSN: 1060-4189 Argentina Leader Visits Cuba, Expects to Expand Trade Relations by LADB Staff Category/Department: Region Published: 1986-10-21 Argentine President Raul Alfonsin arrived in Havana, Cuba Oct. 18 for a 20-hour official state visit, and received the most rousing welcome experienced by a foreign head of state for several years. According to Cuban and Argentine sources, between 200,000 and 300,000 people turned out to meet Alfonsin and his entourage at the Jose Marti International Airport, and along a parade route into downtown Havana. Alfonsin was reportedly quite moved by the reception. The Argentine president's stop in Cuba was the last leg of a four-nation tour including the Soviet Union, Spain and France. Argentine journalists reported that the tour was an "historic one," and particularly the visit to the Caribbean island. Alfonsin's visit to Cuba marks the first of its kind by an Argentine head of state.

    Statement by H.E. Mrs. Marie Chatardová Permanent

    Statement by H.E. Mrs. Marie Chatardová Permanent Representative of the Czech Republic to the United Nations on behalf of the Group of Eastern European States on the occasion of tribute to the memory of H.E. Mr. Dante Caputo (Argentina), President of the General Assembly at its 43rd session Mr. President, Mr. Secretary-General, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, I have the honor to take the floor on behalf of the Group of Eastern European States. It is with sadness that we received the news about the passing away of H.E. Mr. Dante Caputo, President of the General Assembly at its 43rd session. On behalf of the members of the Group of Eastern European States, I would like to express our deepest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Mr. Dante Caputo, as well as to the Government and people of Argentina. Mr. Caputo dedicated many years of his professional career as a diplomat and politician to the service of the people of Argentina, the United Nations as well as the Organization of American States. In the words of H.E. Jorge Faurie, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Argentina: “Mr. Caputo was the first Foreign Minister when democracy was restored and that gives him an important role in Argentina's history. He was a man who was committed to human rights, who respected dialogue and dissent and who listened to everyone, regardless of their rank or hierarchy.” After serving as the Foreign Minister from 1983-1989, Caputo was elected to the Chamber of Deputies and he served as Vice-President of the Foreign Affairs Committee.

For some years, it had become apparent that the spectacular benefits science and technology were bringing to the rich countries were not reaching the developing world. In 1935, after taking note of the global imbalance in scientific develop- ment, eminent biologist Julian Huxley called for a truly scientific approach to the problem of development. United States President Harry Truman declared in his 1949 inaugural address that it was time to mobilize science for worldwide development. He was convinced that the technology that had worked for the devel- oped countries would provide the same benefits when transplanted to underdeveloped regions. 1 In the mid-1960s, the UN Advisory Committee on the Application of Science and Technology to Development observed that “Only a very small fraction of the world’s scientific and technical resources is devoted to the problems of the developing countries; the overwhelming propor- tion of the world’s intellectual capital, as well as its physical capital, is applied toward … the highly developed countries.” And in her 1966 benchmark essay, Spaceship Earth, British economist, journalist, and educator Barbara Ward (Lady Jackson) declared that “… mankind is … a single, equal and fraternal community” and that “… new technological resources, properly deployed, will conquer ancient shortage.” By the late 1960s, a climate of disillusion and distrust surrounded for- eign aid programs.
