Apparently, two decades of privatization, liberalization, and government austerity, ushered in by Argentina's brutal military junta (in power from 1976 to 1983), were not enough to sate the appetites of global financial capital: earlier that year the International Monetary Fund had withheld $1.3 billion in loans the country needed to service its $142 billion external debt. [...] these forces represent a critical barrier to virtually any project for greater social and economic justice.

Most Latin American countries have overcome military disruptions and are now well-established democracies. Nevertheless, electoral continuity and fairness is not enough to guarantee that democratic institutions function properly and fairly. A simple inquiry reveals the region's entrenchment of corrupt governments, the growth of inequality, and the deepening of poverty and unemployment. Argentina is no exception. Many authors have argued that civic engagement will solve the struggles new Latin American democracies are undergoing. In particular, it has been suggested that the activities of NGOs will lead inexorably to a better democracy. And, without a doubt, civil society's role is fundamental for improving government accountability and strengthening the rule of law. This paper, however,...

In the first part of a series of articles, Graham-Yooll's narrates a story of a short war that had disastrous consequences for the Argentinean government and created a political victory for Margaret Thatcher. The war began on Apr 1982 when Argentina landed special troops on the British-owned Falkland Islands, which Argentina calls "las islas Malvinas," far away in the South Atlantic. Moreover, Buenos Aires imposed more military restrictions on news reporting and threatened to arrest editors and staff who might try to test restriction orders. Furthermore, Peru proposed a peace deal, which was described as the last civilized answer to the dispute between the Argentineans and the Britons.
WASHINGTON -- At a time when an entire industry is fretting about the foreseeable demise of newsprint, there is something charmingly passe about Argentine President Cristina Kirchner salivating over Papel Prensa, her country's predominant producer of the product. Or rather it would be charming if her government's actions to control the company did not threaten freedom of the press. Papel Prensa's private owners -- Argentina's leading newspapers Clarin and La Nacion -- are accused of unlawfully acquiring the newsprint company with help from the military dictatorship in the 1970s. The Kirchner government alleges that Papel Prensa's previous shareholders, who were kidnapped by the regime, were forced to sell the company.
