Le Costa Rica est un petit pays d’Amérique centrale à peine grand comme la Suisse avec une population de 5 millions d’habitants. En 1948, après de violents affrontements entre deux factions de militaires, le gouvernement a décidé de dissoudre son armée et de transférer le budget militaire sur celui de l’éducation. Il est devenu depuis le plus grand pays du monde à ne pas avoir d’armée et c’est, avec Cuba, le pays d’Amérique Latine qui a le moins d’analphabètes et le plus de diplômés (…)

ESTADOS UNIDOS - Las relaciones entre Estados Unidos y América Latina: rupturas, reacción y la ilusión del tiempo pasado
James Petras, Rebelión
14 de noviembre de 2006, puesto en línea por Amando BasurtoIntroducción
Muchos escritores, periodistas, altos cargos públicos y académicos de la derecha y la izquierda han observado cambios en las relaciones entre Estados Unidos y América Latina. Los de la derecha se lamentan del ’final de la hegemonía estadounidense’, del crecimiento de una ’Nueva Izquierda’, de la ’reactivación del populismo’ y de la ’pérdida de la influencia estadounidense’. Los de la izquierda presagian los supuestos cambios como un momento de progresivo re-alineamiento (…) -

Friday, November 10th, 2006 - Democracy Now! News Program - Today, we take a look at who voted and why. Voter turnout for Tuesday’s election was one of the highest for a mid-term election in recent years. It is estimated that over 40 percent of eligible voters cast ballots in an election that gave Democrats control of both houses of Congress for the first time in twelve years.

ESTADOS UNIDOS - El fundamentalismo norteamericano y el APC-TLC Perú-EEUU (por Juan Carlos Bossio Rotondo)
14 de noviembre de 2006, puesto en línea por Juan Carlos Bossio Rotondo
La victoria demócrata en las elecciones parciales norteamericanas influirá sin duda en la posibilidad que el APC-TLC Perú-EEUU sea aprobado por el congreso estadounidense. Alan García lo negó presuntuoso en un primer momento; luego, reaccionando probablemente a un inesperado baño de realismo, lo ha aceptado.
Al parecer, modificó su posición al expresar la Representante Comercial de Estados Unidos, Susan Schwab, que muy previsiblemente, su gobierno no solicitará al congreso de su país (…) -

8 November 2006, posted by Manuela Garza Ascencio
Truthouth - Despite widespread problems with electronic voting machines, long lines that stretched several city blocks in some states, hours-long waiting at the polls, and GOP intimidation tactics aimed to drive away predominantly Democratic and minority voters, the public turned out en masse Tuesday and helped shift the balance of power in Washington, DC, to Democrats for the first time in 12 years.
