Three months later, the agricultural crisis continues without traces of a solution
Argentina appears to be losing a historic opportunity with regards to the global demand for food in a conflict between the government and the agricultural sector that has already lasted three months.

Convenience should solve the issue for Barack Obama
Will Hillary Clinton join Barack Obama as his vice presidential candidate? The answer, which should be simple, is in fact very complicated and is perhaps the most delicate decision that Obama will have to make before arriving at the White House–that is, if he does indeed win, which today is still far from clear.

Latin America-EU: Free trade agreements–from country to country or group to group?
The commotion has shaken relations between the Andean countries: accusations between Peru and Bolivia, disputes between Ecuador and Colombia, and the eventual agreement between Lima and the EU behind the backs of the Andean Community of Nations. Chavez, meanwhile, has remained silent.

As globalization increasingly provides access to resources necessary for the spread of militant radicalism, it also allows valuable opportunities to begin healing animosities between certain Western countries and the developing world.

Old disputes over Golan Heights reappear in a complex and volatile regional context
The big question is whether an agreement can actually be reached between Israel and Syria that does simply return Golan Heights to Damascus, but that brings peace in the true sense of the word. With Iran in the background, and with its alliance with Syria, peace is difficult to fathom, says the author.
