An economic history of Argentina in the twentieth century

Randall, Laura

Columbia University Press

The Political Economy of Venezuelan Oil describes the historic role of multinationals in establishing the oil industry there and the resulting coordination of an integrated, nationalized industry. Randall posits that the nationalization of the Venezuelan oil industry was strikingly different from that in Brazil and Mexico. Besides giving a detailed description of the structure and management of this industry, she also provides a history of labor conditions and an analysis of the impact of the oil industry on Venezuela's overall economy.

This is the first book in English about Brazil's largest firm, Petroleo Brasileiro, S.A., PETROBRAS, the state-owned monopoly oil firm. The work provides a history and analysis of PETROBRAS' organization, administration, operations, and efficiency. It analyzes its labor relations; the development of its suppliers of capital goods and research; and its impact on the economy and environment in Brazil. The study compares and contrasts PETROBRAS to the state-owned oil firms of Mexico and Venezuela, including current information regarding their organization. And it examines the trend toward reorganization and privatization as it has affected PETROBRAS and similar state-owned monopolies.This study completes Laura Randall's examination of the oil producers of Latin America, begun with The Political Economy of Venezuelan Oil and followed by The Political Economy of Mexican Oil. It will be of interest to scholars and industry experts in energy economics and Latin American studies.

The link between economic development and education in Latin America is generally well-recognized. A literate and educated work force is the largest single factor in explaining economic growth. In this study, the editors and contributors survey the various elementary educational systems to investigate the reasons behind the failure of schools to retain students in elementary grades. A group of scholars looks at the current state of education in four countries: Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, and Chile, with a view to designing more effective programs for reducing the dropout and grade repetition rates. For each country studied, there is an overview of the school system, teacher training and attitudes, centralized and decentralized planning, curriculum development, and psychological and environmental issues that contribute to school dropout.
