Abstract
This paper discusses the environmental problem of the disappearing rain forest in the Amazon region of Brazil, noting that the disappearing rain forest is not just an environmental issue but an economic one. The paper suggests that with certain agricultural methods used in Brazil (the slash-and-burn method) by people who have no other way to make a living, and with the country too poor to institute many of the protections needed, this issue has become a significant problem.
From the Paper
"One of the leading ecological problems facing the world for the last two decades or more is the disappearance of the tropical rainforest in Brazil, with scientists noting the many benefits the rainforest provides to the ecology of the world. The disappearing rainforest is not just an environmental issue but an economic one, with certain agricultural methods used in Brazil (the slash-and-burn method) by people who have no other way to make a living, and with the country too poor to institute many of the protections needed. As the Western nations complains about what is happening in Brazil, the leadership in Brazil points out that the country is too poor to do much about the problem."

Abstract
The paper briefly reviews the relationship between economic growth and the development of poorer nations in Latin America and in Southeast Asia.

From the Paper
"Economic growth and national development do not always go together: An examination of Latin America and Southeast Asia It is often said that economic growth fuels socio-economic development in third-world nations. While it seems logical to argue that the creation of wealth will lead to the creation of a healthier and more prosperous society, this is not necessarily the case. In the following pages, some time will be devoted to the checkered impact of economic growth upon governmental administration in Latin America and in Southeast Asia."

"The Ongoing Relevance of Carlos Fuentes, in Latin America - at War with the Past. (1985). Toronto: Anansi, 2001. The arguments found in Carlos Fuentes's volume, Latin America - at War with the Past, as valid in 2005, as they were 20 years ago, in a day when the world may have seemed rather different. The Soviet Union had yet to fall, there was some faith in international development programs that allowed for deficit finance, and developing countries had yet to feel the effects of restructuring ordered by the World Bank and International Monetary Fund."
