Abstract
This paper explains that the economy of Brazil has grown dramatically since the Great Depression of the 1930s and the close of World War II in 1945. The author describes that, within the last several decades, there has been tremendous growth in areas, such as the export of minerals, farm products and manufactured goods, and an explosive movement from a basic rural society into an urban giant. The paper states that, with Brazil's geographically ideal location and immense
size, similar to China and India, it could become a leading global economic contender by the year 2050.
From the Paper
"Although Brazil's agricultural base did not expand as fast as its industrial base following World War II, its overall growth was quite substantial, due to an expansion in cultivated land (which continues to this very day as a result of rain forest depletion) from about sixteen million acres in 1920 to more than one hundred and fifteen million acres in the mid 1980's. Brazil also became the world's biggest exporter of sugar products and the second largest exporter of soybean. Today, Brazil continues to export a very large percentage of the world's coffee crop along with large amounts of cocoa and cotton."

Abstract
This paper provides an overview of the economic past, present, and future of Brazil, the most economically productive South American country.

Thanks to these changes, the future holds more promise for a stable, normal progression."

Abstract
This paper compares various aspects of Brazil and Portugal, including their location, geography, history, people, climate, natural resources, economic development, type of economy and industry and the legacy of the Portuguese colonization of Brazil and its effect on the two countries.
From the Paper
"Brazil was 'discovered' by the Portuguese nobleman Pedro Alvares Cabral in 1500 while seeking a route to the Indian Ocean . It laid its claim to the area and sent the first settlers to Brazil in 1531. At the time, the area was inhabited by indigenous people who were hunter-gatherers and spoke variations of the Tupian language. Estimates of their numbers vary from 1 to 6 million. Over the next 300 years of its colonization, most of the indigenous population of Brazil was annihilated by their lack of resistance to European diseases and a huge population of African slaves was imported by the Portuguese for use as labor on the sugar cane plantations. Partly due to the small population of Portugal, the Portuguese were encouraged to marry among the local people, giving rise to the racially mixed of the present day Brazil."

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at the north westernmost country in South America, Colombia. The writer notes that Colombia is the second most populated South American country next to Brazil and the majority of the population lives in the mountainous cities around the capital of Bogota. The writer points out that with this intense congregation of people in one area, the economy of Colombia is poor and unstable. This paper attempts to explain why the economy has fluctuated during the last thirty years and gives examples of life in Colombia as a result of an ever-changing economy.
From the Paper
"In 1999, Colombia suffered a recession as a result of low world oil prices, reduced export demand, and increased guerilla violence throughout the country. This caused an increase in unemployment, increased drug usage and sales, and devaluation of the Colombian peso. In 1999 at the time of the recession approximately 17.7% of the Colombia people were living at or below the national poverty line."
"As a result of the 1999 Colombian recession, unemployment quickly rose. There were more people in Colombia than jobs. Many companies closed because they could not afford to pay their employees. In the year 2000, the unemployment rate in Colombia reached 20%. This rate did not stay at 20% for long because of the instability in the Colombian economy, by 2006 the unemployment rate had improved and was at 13% which also decreased poverty and gained confidence among the people in foreign and domestic affairs."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper describes the Brazilian economy during the government of the Old Republic that came to power in 1889. The explains that in spite of all the economic developments that took place during this period, the economy still retained the fundamental characteristics, and the fundamental weaknesses, that it had possessed in 1889. The paper further explains that the reasons for these problems were fundamentally political in nature and that, as a result, the Old Republic failed to bring about an economic transformation in Brazil's fortunes.
From the Paper
"In November 1889 a military revolution led by General Manuel Deodoro de Fonseca forced the abdication of the Emperor of Brazil, Pedro II, and instituted a provisional republican government. By June of the following year a fully republican constitution had been drafted, and in November 1891 that constitution was officially adopted and a federal republic, under the title United States of Brazil, was established. This first republican constitution was to remain in force until its revision by the authoritarian president Getulio Dornelles Vargas in 1934, and the period from the revolution of 1889 to the securing of the presidency by Vargas in 1930, amid violence and political chaos, is known in Brazilian historiography as the Old Republic. In economic terms it was an era of transformation and rapid development, but one that ended in economic distress and accompanying social and political instability."

Abstract
Brazilian economic development has been characterized by a series of boom and bust periods with little to be said in terms of sustainable development. Because of this, governments throughout the latter half of the 20th century have made efforts to guide development via economic diversity through forced industrialization. In relative terms, poverty inequality, foreign debt and inflation remain staggering. As an example, in 1995, Brazil's total outstanding foreign debt was 159 billion dollars. This has had significant repellant effects on foreign investment. During the Latin American Debt crisis in 1995, the pressures that were placed on the Brazilian economy could not be sustained. With an economy that was just starting to really grow, it could not repay the debts that it had accumulated during this crisis period. Like a bubble, the economy burst and Brazil continues to suffer the effects of a high reliance on foreign capital. This paper will look at the record of Brazilian economic development in terms of these and other important indicators.

"TRAPPED IN INEQUALITY?
Persisting Inflation and External Debt in Brazil
Introduction
No other nation has experience so much inflation, persistantly, over a long period as Brazil has. Hyperinflation in other countries has produced astronomical price increases, but hyperinflation is a shortlived process, whereas Brazil's inflation has operated for decades. Brazil also has a long history of high foreign debt, going back to the 1920s, and in the early 1990s Brazil had the world's largest external debt, at a level of about $118 billion."

Abstract
This paper discusses the overall economy of Brazil vis-a-vis its infrastructure. In terms of infrastructure, the discussion is largely limited to highway and railway transportation systems and how Brazil's are less than adequate. Further discussion revolves around the impact that infrastructure has on an economy and the effects that a lack of infrastructure can have on a developing economy such as Brazil's.
From the Paper
"Brazil, otherwise known as the Federative Republic of Brazil, is the fifth largest country in the world in terms of land mass and population and the largest such in Latin America. Brazil derives its name from its native brazilwood tree which was held in much esteem by early colonial powers (Levine, 1999). Currently Brazil's economy revolves around extensive agricultural development, a growing industrial base and preservation of its remaining rain forests. Brazil is South America's leading economy and has a huge labor pool that has allowed it to compete internationally as a manufacturing base as its infrastructural development improves. Its official language is Portuguese owing the fact that it was those intrepid explorers who first colonized Brazil in 1500AD (Levine, 1999). Brazil formerly claimed independence from Portugal in 1822 but remained economically and socially integrated with the European continent throughout the succeeding two centuries."

"Understanding the Brazilian economy is the first challenge to the investors. Brazil is becoming a market where, in the medium term, companies may have to consider establishing a presence and localizing product to be able to compete effectively. It is important to remember that a company will not succeed in Brazil without developing a sound business plan and a longer-term strategy. Foreign investment is generally welcomed and the regulatory environment is friendly. On the one hand, Brazil offers immediate attractions to new market entrants such as a population of some 172 million people..."

Railroads in Southern Brazil, 2002.

Abstract
Railroads were first constructed in southern Brazil to serve primarily as growing coffee production industry in S?o Paulo state. Railroad growth in the region, however, facilitated the growth and development of other economic activities such as communication and agriculture. In its early stages of development, Brazil's socioeconomic activities were separated. According to the paper, railroads developed in response to the needs of an agrarian economy but served also to support the development of industry in Southern Brazil. The paper argues that the railroad aided in the integration of the economies of the states in southern Brazil.
From the Paper
"According to Poppino, because of the economic ascendance of Southern Brazil from the late-nineteenth century through 1920, which was facilitated by railroad development, "the locus of political power shifted permanently to the South, where S?o Paulo became the economic heart of the country, and a new class of industrialists, drawn from immigrants and the land holding elite, competed with plantation owners for prestige and political influence. Railroads, thus, developed in response to the needs of an agrarian economy but served also to support the development of industry in Southern Brazil."

Business in Brazil, 2004.
An analysis of business conditions in Brazil.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the Brazilian economy, considered the 10th largest in the world, claiming it to be attractive to many foreign investors for a variety of reasons, including the relatively large consumer base. The paper describes how fluctuations in the economy and the rise and fall of currency have prevented many big businesses from investing in Brazil. The paper contends, however, that careful attention to business and economic trends, as well as the rules and regulations that govern business operations in Brazil, can ensure the success of even marginally lucrative endeavors.
From the Paper
"There are several different political parties that dominate the Brazilian landscape including: Brazilian Democratic Movement Party, Liberal Front Party, Progressive Renewal Party, Brazilian Social Democracy Party and the Liberal party to name a few (Lomheim, 2004). Corrupt politicians and lack of support for a predominately military rule has led to a decline in public support for political parties in the last decade, as well as the existence of more than 30 political parties overall in the nation (Lomheim, 2004). A majority of the economic and business activity that occurs within Brazil is concentrated in southeastern states including those of So Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais (Kullman, 2004). The primary areas of business and manufacturing include (but are not limited to): automobile manufacturing, steel, petrochemicals, computers and aviation (Kullman, 2004). There are many manufacturing cities located in the Northern region of Brazil though generally this area is less populated than other."

Abstract
Both Brazil and Russia seem to give a picture of what is needed to become a leader in their regions. However, these two countries are very distinct in their strategies and have derived their action based on their own experience and leanings. The paper shows that it is essential that both countries do not become complacent. Their respective economies have great potential but also have become more vulnerable to conditions that they may not be able to control. The paper suggests that both Brazil and Russia should review very well the steps they have taken and where it has led them, to be able to define their future strategies for the coming year. The paper includes graphs and tables.

"It is said that Russia's national agenda that focuses of key sectors of development should be done without any hint of extra-economic controls to allow full economic freedom. However, it should also be essential to understand that though Russia seems to be embracing capitalist economies, it social structure ahs yet to keep pace with these developments may not be, in a very essential way, government intervention for a longer time (World Bank, 2006)."

"Introduction
Brazil is one of the markets in Latin America that companies from around the world have viewed with a mixture of anticipation and anxiety. The company's population, high level of education, and relatively stable political environment present an attractive opportunity to those companies who want to export goods to Brazil, but until recently, the country's internal economic environment was highly volatile and not conducive to long-term market growth. Following dramatic economic reform in the last several years, the country has emerged as a strong market which enjoys foreign trade with the United States, Asia and Europe: the United States received 19 percent of the nation's exported goods in 1996, and was responsible for 25 percent of the goods imported to Brazil during the same year. This research considers how one company.."
