Abstract
The following paper examines the economic strategies adopted by the past Argentinian governments and the loop holes in their economic plans that led to such an economic disaster. This essay also examines the impact of the fixed exchange rate strategy adopted by the government of Argentina over the past few years.The writer uses some quantitative approaches to analyze the economic slowdown in Argentina and how it has affected the market conditions and what impact it has made on the standard of livings of a common man.
From the Paper
"Due to the unrealistic economic policies and unwise decisions made by the government, the Argentinean economy is going through the worst times of its history. The general public is holding the government responsible for the worsening economic crises that have led to high rate of unemployment and decline in trade activities. The current economic crises are believed to be the worst economic decline since the economic crisis of the 1980s. The credit ratings agencies and several other economic forecasters have warned that Argentina is currently facing a threat of getting defaulted on its $132bn of debt. Due to the economic slowdown and the political unrest, created by the economic crisis, it is much likely that the government of Argentina will not be able to arrange the short term repayments for its debts."

Abstract
This paper will probe at the trials and tribulations of the exchange stabilization program(s) in Argentina over the first half of the 1990s. This type of study could potentially draw on a number of important and directly related factors, and an even more impressive roster of indirect links. In the interests of brevity, only the most relevant factors will be drawn into the discussion. These include the nature of the stabilization programs in Argentina, the debt crisis of 1995, the debate between fixed and flexible exchange rates, the prediction of future exchange rates using spot values, and a brief mention on the other forces that are at work to undermine efforts to sustain economic stabilization in the developing economies. One of the important ones to mention is globalization, which is linked directly to factor allocation, linked interest rates, highly mobile capital, and the like.

Abstract
This paper examines the qualities of Argentina's exchange rate and whether these properties have been good for the economy or not. It looks at factors such as it being a fixed rate vs. a floating rate and how each of these are better in certain economic conditions.
From the Paper
"The country of Argentina has over the past several months seen the endemic problems that is has had with its economy over the past years (and even decades) burgeon into a crisis, resulting in the devaluation of its currency, the closing of many schools, a crisis in confidence by both Argentineans and people in many other countries, and substantial political upheaval as the government has repeatedly - and rapidly - changed hands. The causes for the country's economic failure are complex and interlinking: This paper examines one of the most important causes, which is the country's exchange rate."

From the Paper
Introduction
"The purpose of this research is to examine the question: should the United States (US) return to a system of fixed international currency exchange rates? Both the pro and the con positions are addressed in this research.
The Position Opposed to a Return to Fixed Exchange Rates
At the outset of this discussion, it must be understood that the US cannot unilaterally discard the floating exchange rate system, and return to a system of fixed rates. The system to be used must be acceptable to all of the participating countries, unless, of course, one country is both willing and capable of defending a fixed exchange rate for its currency in the face of a system which neither recognizes nor supports such a rate."

From the Paper
There is important historical precedence for arguing that a system of fixed exchange rates is most advantageous for the purpose of economic stability. Such international monetary stability was quite apparent in the Western World during the period between 1875 and 1914. The core mechanism for this stability was the gold standard. Most major countries then set fixed values for their currencies in relation to gold. These countries also allowed the relatively free movement of gold across their boundaries and agreed to convert their currency into gold at the established price.
The exchange rates between currencies were allowed to fluctuate in response to market demand. This meant that if country A were spending more abroad than it was taking in, the overabundance of its currency abroad might lead to a fall in its ... "

Abstract
The paper looks at the debt crisis in Argentina that helped plunge the nation into a financial crisis in 2001. The paper argues that much of the blame should be directed towards the Argentine governments' policies of the 1980s and early years of this decade. The paper also contends that the IMF (International Monetary Fund) should be criticized but stresses that both parties share the blame.
From the Paper
"The debt crisis which wracked many developing countries in the early 1980s (and thereafter) came about because of overly-extravagant domestic policies and exorbitant government spending - at least according to a United States Department of State dispatch from 1994. In any case, the developing nations - which obviously did not have huge tax bases or swollen coffers like their confreres in the developed west - were confronted with huge budget deficits and with overvalued exchange rates. According to the US State Department, the developing world (or at least many of its constituent nations) relied on short-term, variable rate loans to get them through the fiscal crises of the period - but those policies made them susceptible to the depredations brought about rising interest rates."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the current economic and subsequent political crisis facing Argentina. The paper begins with a history of Argentina, from a political point of view, citing years of internal conflict as one of the causes of the current situation. The writer concludes that while there were many indicators leading up to the crisis, the hyperinflation and problems with investment and unemployment are only symptoms of more fundamental problems in Argentina.
From the Paper
"Officially the Argentine Republic, Argentina is a country occupying most of the southern portion, or southern cone, of South America. Argentina is the eighth largest country in the world (it has an area of 1,073,399 square miles, roughly larger than Mexico and the U.S. state of Texas combined). The population of Argentina in July 2001 was estimated at 37,384,816. Argentina is bounded by Chile to the south and west, Bolivia and Paraguay to the north, and Brazil, Uruguay, and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. Buenos Aires is the nation's capital. Throughout its history and like most of its neighbors, Argentina has repeatedly been subject to rule by a "caudillo figure," or a strong leader, often from the military, who dominated the nation, usually until he was deposed or died."

Russian Financial Crisis 1998: A Self-made Crisis, 2002.

Abstract
This paper contains an analysis of factors, both internal and external, that caused the financial crisis in Russia in 1988. The main argument of the paper is that the main causes of the crisis originated from inside. The monetary system that the Russian government created after the fall of the USSR failed to provide a stable channel for the implementation of an adequate monetary policy. The paper shows that the banking system was ill-designed and corrupt, mainly serving as a channel for government funds to favored industries. Finally, the paper shows that the extreme usage of government debt (often for the personal benefit of the Russian officials) was the factor that shut the whole economy down. Bonds were printed like paper, which is unsustainable even in the short-run.

A Self-made Crisis
Fake Monetary System

From the Paper
"In 1998 Russia was hit by a large-scale financial crisis. The bad news of Russian default (or payment suspension) in August 1998 was one of the primary concerns of almost all Russian and western media. The events and outcomes of the crisis were relatively similar to the ones that took place in Asia in 1997 or, more recently, in Argentina (the latter has recently defaulted on the largest government debt in history). These amounted, but were not limited to: national currency being largely devaluated, collapse of the banking system, and political unrest resulting in dramatic changes in the government."

Abstract
Canada has suffered without a fixed exchange rate with the United States. It has either lacked growth, had increased unemployment or high inflation with its flexible exchange rate regime. During the life of the young Bank of Canada, the country has done its best when it had a fixed exchange rate with the US. Fixed exchange rates provide immunity against crises and failure.

"FIXED AND FLOATING EXCHANGE RATES
Introduction
This research examines the concepts of fixed and floating exchange rates. Prior to discussing these concepts, the gold standard and the Bretton Woods Agreement are reviewed.
The Gold Standard
An economy is said to be on the gold standard, when its central bank is required to provide gold in exchange for the country?s currency presented to the central bank (Baxter, 1986, p. 203). In the United States, the Federal Reserve System acts as the country?s central bank. In practice, if the United States economy were on the gold standard, without any restrictions, United States currency could be redeemed for gold at any commercial bank which was a member of the Federal Reserve System."

From the Paper
"The foreign exchange market is the largest market in the world, it is the market "in which individuals, firms, and banks buy and sell for any currency" (Salvatore). Since each country has its own currency, an exchange rate system is needed. An exchange rate is the rate at which one currency can be exchanged for another. The two types of exchange rate systems used in the world are the fixed rate system and the flexible rate system. Both systems have their pros and cons, and both are used in the world today."

The turmoil within the country itself is discussed in detail, and the author also offers some creative solutions to the crisis.
From the Paper
"Despite criticism from some nations like Spain, who is heavily affected by Argentina?s crisis, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has so far refused to give any more aid to the country. However, many people blame the IMF for loaning ?massive? amounts to Argentina earlier in their crisis, along with conditions requiring the country to tighten its fiscal policies. Now, Argentina is unable to repay these outstanding loans. Some of the over 130 million in debt was defaulted on in December, and ?Critics say the IMF-imposed reforms have failed to work because they don't take into account the local situation. They argue that the insistence on debt repayment is what's brought Argentina to the brink of collapse? (Editors)"

Effective Crisis Management Techniques, 2002.

Abstract
This paper looks at the importance of a company's crisis management strategy and how the strategy that an organization takes during a crisis can affect the long-term health of that organization. It also puts forth the theory that organizations often collapse because when a crisis occurs they are not equipped to deal with it in a quick and timely fashion.
From the paper:
"Planning ahead of time can help soften the negative impact of an ongoing crisis. Decisions made while planning for a potential crisis tend to be more rational then a decision made in the middle of a crisis. Develop a crisis manual that is simple and easy to read and make sure it is used; it is worthless if it sits idle on a shelf. All employees need to be trained so they know what their roles will be during a crisis. This training will help prepare everybody in the organization to avert or effectively manage extraordinary incidents. It is not possible to plan for all potential crises that can occur. Rather an organization should prepare an action plan that involves responses for various aspects of a possible crisis."

Exchange Rates and Western Economies in the Post War Era, 2002.

Abstract
This essay will argue the reality of exchange rates in the modern world is much more complex than popular wisdom would suggest. Through a discussion of the history of exchange rates in the postwar era - from the fixed rates established at Bretton Woods to the flexible rates of today - it will be seen that exchange rates are one of the most complex features of modern economics. As the Canadian experience demonstrates, control of the exchange rates is beyond the power of governments to significantly influence in the long term. Indeed, given the complexities of the relationship between exchange rates and market forces, exchange rates are a feature of modern economics that defy easy analysis and prediction.
