This paper investigates the relationship between inflation uncertainty, the conduct of monetary policy, and the level of economic growth in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru. This is accomplished by analyzing regression and nonregression evidence. The regression evidence is drawn from an earlier study by Sebatian Edwards (1983). A replication and reexamination of the tests conducted by Edwards reflect an overall negative relationship between unexpected monetary policy and economic growth for the period between 1963 and 1993. In addition to regression evidence, non-regression evidence confirms the econometric results. The evidence presented in this paper demonstrates that inconsistent macroeconomic policies, such as sizable and chronic budget deficits result in sustained and variable inflation as well as lower economic growth in the long-run. / Master of Arts

This thesis presents a critical evaluation of the Alliance for Progress. Particular emphasis is placed on the main difficulties and failures that the Alliance has had during its first years of existence. However, certain specific advances occurring during this first period of the Alliance deserve mention. Attention is given to the relationships between economic assistance and economic growth, and to the reasons for the failure of the Alliance. The first part of the thesis gives the adequate background for a better understanding of the second part, which makes a severe examination of the accomplishments of the Alliance. / Master of Arts

The evolution of the People's Republic of China's Latin American policy from Mao to Deng consists of four stages: (1) communist internationalism, (2) revolutionary policy, (3) government contacts and peaceful co-existence, and (4) independent and open policy. Besides explaining the meaning of each policy and its execution, this study identifies the key elements--domestic and external--which characterize the policy evolution, and compares those elements in an explication of why Sino-Latin American relations under Deng's regime appear more active than those of Mao's regime. The policies of Mao and Deng differ in the greater emphasis of Deng on the content of government contacts and his greater concern with economic relations, in contrast to the political motivation of Mao.

This thesis analyzes George Canning's persuasive campaign to gain British recognition of Latin America. The modification of an exigence capable of change through persuasion was emphasized, and the audiences which had the power to bring about the change were identified. The campaign was broken into seven discernible, but dependent, stages which were examined to test the progress of the campaign. Canning was the prime mover of the campaign, and through a series of petitions, speeches, and press releases plus other strategic maneuvers, gained the necessary public and political support to successfully achieve his goal.

Há muitos textos sobre a atuação da música, via canção de protesto, frente às ditaduras militares na década de 70 no Brasil e na América Latina, mas é esquecido que a música erudita também enfrentou problemas sérios e apresentou um tipo de resistência ao establishment. Houve um significativo relacionamento e trânsito de músicos eruditos, irmanados numa mesma luta, estética e política. Esse trabalho relata a identidade desses propósitos, tendo como objetos de estudo o Festival Música Nova e o Curso Latinoamericano de Música Contemporânea / There are many texts about music action, it means canção de protesto, facing military dictatorships on the 1970s from Brazil and Latin America. However, it has been forgotten that classical music also has confronted serious problems and has made a kind of resistance against establishment. In fact, there were a meaningful relationship and a movement of the classical musicians, which have been congregated in the same struggle, aesthetic and political. This work reports the identity of these purposes, making Festival Música Nova and Curso Latinoamericano de Música Contemporânea its analysed objects

President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles began trying to make military matériel available to Latin America during the latter 1930s. Little progress was made until passage of the Lend-Lease Act in 1941 enabled Washington to furnish eighteen Latin American nations with about $493,000,000 worth of military assistance during World War II. This study, based primarily on State Department lend-lease decimal files in the National Archives and documents published in Foreign Relations volumes, views the policy's background, development, and implementation in each recipient nation. The conclusion is that the policy produced mixed results for the United States and Latin America.
