Abstract
This paper discusses the economic crises the Mexican economy has experienced over the last twenty years, briefly explaining the root causes of each financial crisis experienced. The paper also discusses the economic assistance extended to Mexico by the United States, the IMF and other international agencies and why this assistance has consistently failed to deliver Mexico from its economic woes. Finally, the paper explains what must be done in order to ensure Mexico's economic success, suggesting that the only permanent solution lies in institutional reform that embraces market forces.
From the Paper
"For the fourth time in the past 20 years, the Mexican economy is in financial distress, largely because of bad monetary policies pursued by Mexican officials. The United States has responded in all four instances by lending money to the Mexican government as a short?term palliative. The cumulative result is a set of perverse incentives for Mexican officials and foreign investors that ensure the "crisis" will reappear on an even larger scale. In addition, the use of the Treasury's Exchange Stabilization Fund and the Federal Reserve to fund an administration's foreign ventures raises constitutional issues about separation of powers and undermines the principle of central bank independence."

From the Paper
"The globalization of world markets has had a number of positive and negative effects, including the migration of currency fluctuations across borders (The Economist, 1996a). After the collapse of the peso in late 1994, a panic rattled other emerging markets from Brazil to Thailand, sending shocks into these and other vulnerable markets as well. This raises, according to Edwin M. Truman (1996), broad questions about the international institutional and financial environment. On December 20, 1994, the Mexican government announced the devaluation of its currency, surprising financial markets and precipitating the so-called "Mexican peso crisis." The devaluation came after three years during which Mexico had followed an exchange rate policy of maintaining the peso within a well-defined band against the U.S...."

The Mexican Peso Crisis, 2007.

Abstract
The paper reveals that the cause of the currency crisis was because the Mexican peso was pegged to the dollar and this type of fixed exchange rate limited investment in Mexico. The paper relates that the only natural thing to do was to devalue the peso. The paper explains that the problem was that the political and security situation in Mexico was not necessarily one that would encourage foreign investment. The paper explains the 20 % devaluation, intended to take place some time in December 1994, turned into a 50 % devaluation of the peso due to pressure from investors and a subsequent significant economic crisis. The paper examines the Mexican government's response to this currency crisis, "tesebonos", and shows the gains from this external trade growth.
From the Paper
"The response to this currency crisis that the Mexican government used was the so - called "Tesebonos", "a short-term security whose principal was indexed to the dollar" . Practically, these were a form of insurance or governmental guarantee for the foreign investors. This was type of security guaranteed the foreign investor that the investment he made in Mexico would not be affected by the peso devaluation and that it would still be calculated with direct connection to the US dollar."

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.

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."

From the Paper
"The United States' policy during the early to middle nineteenth century can be examined through the five general concepts of American foreign policy: isolationism, expansionism, imperialism, idealism, and exceptionalism. Each of these concepts was prevalent during the crisis leading up to the Mexican-American War of 1846. The precipitating causes of the war are deeply rooted in the domestic and international affairs of the United State and in the personality of President Polk and his clandestine desire to acquire California."

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."

Abstract
This paper looks at the currency crisis in Thailand, which started in the summer of 1997 and rapidly engulfed a number of East Asian "Tiger economies" in a major financial crisis. This crisis became a an interesting case study for economists who were interested in analyzing the pros and cons of globalization and laissez faire market economies. The author further examines the effects of the East Asian currency crisis, on Thailand itself, which underwent a painful re-adjustment of its economy.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The country took a number of measures to attract foreign capital during the 1980 and early 1990s. These included lifting of restrictions on foreign investments, elimination of most barriers on foreign ownership of export oriented industries, granting of tax incentives to foreign mutual funds and investments in the stock market, creation of closed-end mutual funds, and reduction of taxes on dividends remitted abroad (Antczak 40-41). These measures along with a pegged exchange rate policy (i.e., the Thai currency baht was pegged to the dollar and its value rose and fell with dollar's value), and the large differential in interest rates provided comfort to foreign investors who came to Thailand in droves.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the Cuban Missile Crisis and President Kennedy's handling of this confrontation with the Soviet Union. First, the paper briefly examines the global events and Cold War conditions that precipitated the missile crisis. The paper then discusses the tensions between Moscow and Washington and why they had increased throughout the decade of the 1950s after the Soviet Union exploded its first atomic bomb, then its first hydrogen bomb and brutally invaded Hungary in 1956.
From the Paper
"In conclusion, President John F. Kennedy's ability to balance issues of national interest against the imminent threat of global nuclear war was the most important aspect of his leadership during the Cuban Missile Crisis in late October of 1962. Ironically, it was disagreement among Kennedy's advisors that ultimately produced a tough but measured response that compelled Khrushchev to remove Soviet missiles from Cuba and thus avoid an American invasion and likely escalation into nuclear war.
"By the narrowest of margins, World War III had been avoided. Despite the ill-considered decision of Premier Khrushchev to antagonize the United States by deploying nuclear missiles in Cuba certain to be discovered, and President Kennedy's ill-considered decision to authorize the Bay of Pigs invasion the preceding year, which antagonized Khrushchev into deploying those nuclear missiles to Cuba, both leaders managed to restrain their hawkish advisors and generals, and found a way to resolve the crisis through back-channel diplomacy and covert compromise."

History of the Currency Crisis, 2008.
This paper discusses the history of the currency crisis focusing on Asia and Mexico.

Abstract
This document discusses currency crises and utilizes the Asian financial crisis of 1997 to 1998 and the Mexican peso crisis of 1994 as illustrative examples. In both of these examples, the writer notes that the currency crises were precipitated by sudden capital flights out of the markets in question which exacerbated the devaluation of the currencies. In essence, the writer maintains that currency crises occur because investors, internal or external, leave a market suddenly and with little prior indication. The writer concludes that regardless of how valid the investor assumption of impending currency devaluation is the fact of their sudden flight from the market always leads to the devaluation they were predicting.

From the Paper
"Thus, because of the currency speculators, who are typically foreign institutional investors, introduce a degree of risk simply through the size of their investment in a single currency that would not otherwise be there if the speculation was limited to smaller investors. While there are a whole slew of factors that must accompany a genuine currency crisis, in general, a crisis develops as these large institutional speculators perceive a decline in value of the currency and dump their investments en masse. The ensuing devaluation of the currency in question is unsustainable and the event often exposes other fundamental economic weaknesses that were disguised previous to the onset of the currency crisis, such as credit over extension in the market and a lack of foreign capital reserves."

Abstract
Each year approximately three million baby boomers turn 40. This is a time of introspection and re-evaluation of who the baby boomer is. This is the time of mid-life crisis and the American Dream. Most baby boomers went to college, got a successful job, married, had 2.5 children, and bought a house in the suburbs. Now they look at life and ask, "Is this all there is to life?" Many of these baby boomers are divorced, have quit their jobs, given up their home in the suburbs and find themselves in a mid-life crisis. It is the American Dream and the mid-life crisis that this paper will focus on. What is the mid-life crisis? Why has the American Dream failed for many? Why are the baby boomers finding themselves feeling unfulfilled in life? What does research show about mid-life crisis? Can mid-life crisis be considered an actual diagnosis for people suffering from mental anguish? What steps can the middle-age individual take to prevent the mid-crisis? How does this affect my worldview about those experiencing mid-life crisis? How does it relate to current news items on television? What are the ramifications of this research show in regards to mid-life crisis? As a counselor how will this research affect the way I might treat someone going through the mid-life crisis? How does this affect my viewpoint of my family, and perhaps my viewpoints of my family? Can I recognize how family members have suffered mid-life crisis and the effects of this in their life?

Abstract
This paper explains how, for both Mexican-Americans and Chinese-Americans, there is greater academic achievement among students who are bilingual. These achievements are instrumental in increasing economic and professional performances in each group. Students in both groups have a higher high school graduation rate if one or both parents are college graduates, further increasing their earning potential. The paper discusses that, while both are considered ethnic groups, Chinese-Americans have greater economic and professional accomplishments, compared to Mexican-Americans. Each group is constantly striving to increase their earning potential, not only to benefit themselves, but future generations.
From the Paper
"Mexican-Americans have shown to have lower academic scores than a number of other ethnicities such as Asian Americans, Hispanics, and Native Americans. These scores are significant since education has a direct effect on earning potential and economic performance. Studies have shown that when one or both parents have a graduate degree there is an increase in test scores. In 1993, the combined SAT math and verbal scores for Mexican-Americans ?with at least one parent with a graduate degree were 912, compared to 1072 for Asian Americans, 917 for other Hispanics, and 934 for Native Americans (Edgerton).?

From the Paper
This paper will provide a basic overview of the Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962. It will focus on the decision.making process which led to the crisis, U.S. foreign policy, and an assessment of the crisis some three decades later.
Over the past decade, numerous previously classified documents have come to light regarding the events that led up to, took place during and after, and precipitated the 1962 Cuban missile crisis. Commentary in the United States has focused almost entirely on the American experience of the event and the lessons learned, or which should have been learned, from the event. "In addition, the main reason so much attention has been given to the crisis is that it has rightly been regarded as the most intensive, dangerous, and climactic crisis of the cold war, and has thus become a unique historical source for the study of ...

Conclusion
From the Paper
"While many companies still lack an effective crisis communications plan, others have recognized the potential threat to their survival and have taken steps to address these shortcomings. In fact, the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and the series of natural disasters that affected the coastal regions of the United States in the years that followed appear to have been a wake-up call for many enterprises. Indeed, following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, a survey of national public relations professionals determined that many companies area assigning higher priority to updating their crisis communications plans and attempting to identify faster approaches to communicate with all employees during such emergency situations (Duhe, 2005). According to this author, "The survey of 150 companies found that 46 percent of companies have increased their focus upon crisis communications planning in the wake of 9/11. Companies re-evaluated their crisis communication plans and determined that the top priority is to communicate quickly and effectively with all employees" (Duhe, 2005, p. 7)."

Abstract
This paper explains that, because investors lost confidence, the Asian financial crisis was not just a domestic problem but rather spread to other parts of the, world especially Third World countries. The author posits that the recovery from the crisis was dependent on the macro economy prior to the crisis within each country. The paper relates that South Korea and Malaysia have different internal structures, were at different levels of development before the crisis and have different survival rates with very different 'after crisis' scenarios. The author points out that the crisis in Malaysia was more of a currency crisis, which had spillover effects within other sectors of the macro economy; however, South Korea faced more of a banking crisis. The paper discuses the role of the International Monetary Fund, the government's role in each region and the Asian Monetary Fund to present a policy outline for preventing future crises.

Role of the IMF
Figure 1: Malaysia's and South Korean Unemployment Worsened by IMF Policies

Figure 2: Economic Growth, the Main Aim of the AMF: Implications for Asia
From the Paper
"There were a lot of issues that caused the financial crisis. Mainly, investors lost confidence in the Asian market and started to remove capital from South Korea and Malaysia. The onset of the loss of confidence by investors began when the economies, such as Mexico had crises that preceded the Asian crisis. Similarly, the United States was increasing interest rates during the period to lower inflation as part of its monetary policy. Investors prefer to invest in the United States versus Asia, since the former is considered less risky."
