Brazil is ranked position 22nd across the globe as the largest export economy as per Economic Complexity index. The country’s top exports are Soybeans, Iron Ore, Crude petroleum, Raw Sugar as well as cars. The major exporting countries are China, United States, Argentina, Netherlands and Japan. It’s main importing nations are China, United States, Argentina, Korea among other nations. The country experienced a 20% shrinking in the trade surplus to a tune of $ 46.67 billion for financial year 2019.
The recent shrank in international trading between Brazil and other nations was driven by strengthening domestic demand hence boosting the country’s economic growth rate to 2.3%. Consequently, the country has had higher imports compared to the exports in the recent times. The nation’s minister of Trade Ferraz allude confidence a balance between imports and exports would be attained.
The surplus were weakest in 2015 standing at $ 19.5 billion as a result of adverse economic recession in the country. In 2019, the demand for the Brazilian commodities faced the slowest global growth within the decade, several uncertainintites concerning the United States- China trade disputes. Moreover, the trading activity experienced political as well as economic turmoil in the latin America.
Argentina had a renewed slide into the economic as well as political crisis that significantly reduced the exports for manutactured goods to a tune of $ 5.2 billion in 2019. The trade actibity was also slowed by the outbreak of t6he African swine fever in the China market hence reducing the soy exports to a tune of $ 6.7 billion.
Brazil enjoys a comparative advantage in the international trade compared to other countries. For instance, United States has an absolute advantage in the production of the computers but Brazil enjoys a competitive advantage in the sector. Brazil has offered subsides to the computers manufactures to close to two-thirds the costs of producing in the United States. Consequently, the favorable terms attract potential investors to produce computers for ultimate export at a relatively cheaper costs of production.
The Brazilian foreign trade policy allows for increased imports while reducing on exportable products. At the beginning of 1990s, the country marked a significant shift in the foreign trade policy which included the liberation of the foreign trade attained through the reduction in import tariffs as well as the full implementation of MERCOSUR with primary objective of tackling globalization related problems. Consequently, the country was to increase the imports while attaining the balance of trade in 1996 of $ 5.5 billion and in 1997 at $ 8.4 billion. The country through the ministry of trade seeks not only to attain the bal ...
This article aims to demonstrate that the stagflation that affects the Brazilian economy will only be overcome with the end of Brazil's dependence on imports of inputs, components and products whose rising prices are mainly responsible for the increase in inflation in the country. The term stagflation comes from the combination of the words “stagnation” and “inflation”. In Brazil, high inflation and the stagnation of economic activity characterize this situation well. Brazil's general economic activity is too weak to be the main driver of pressures on domestic prices and generate inflation. In Brazil, inflation is not due to internal demand but to costs because it is being caused by shocks in the global supply of inputs, components and imported products whose prices interfere with domestic prices in Brazil. The lack of control of inflation in Brazil today is basically the result of the strong presence in the Brazilian economy of foreign companies that are closely linked to global suppliers linked to them of inputs, components and products whose price inflation is transferred to the Brazilian domestic market. This situation calls into question the logic of trying to control inflation by raising interest rates, which would only apply in an economy without external interference, which is not the case in the Brazilian economy. All of this leads to the conclusion that, not only will inflation not be controlled, but also the Brazilian government will not be able to promote the country's economic and social development without overcoming its economic and technological dependence on the outside world.

How to Approach the Case Study Paper (Module 6)
In light of the background reading from Wright, you need to consider the primary sources on African Americans. I’ve provided three guided questions to assist you with your analysis:
1. 2. 3.
You don’t need answer each of these questions in turn in your paper (this isn’t a worksheet to complete), but overall are the things you should consider in your paper.
Here are some suggestions for successful papers:
1. Identify the central question of the case study (see above).
2. Use the primary sources (not the secondary background) to answer the central question.
3. Use the secondary source (Wright) to provide context for the primary sources, where needed. Wright can help fill in the gaps between the primary sources or to help explain issues that might appear in the primary sources, but the strongest papers will use “primarily” the primary sources to build their argument.
4. Make sure your paper is well organized. It should have an introduction that addresses the central question. It should have organized paragraphs that address each central issue in turn and uses the primary sources as evidence. And it should have a conclusion.
5. Don’t summarize the primary sources, beginning at the beginning and moving forward, but use the primary sources to answer the question and make an argument.
Overall, what impressions do African Americans and European American
express about each other in the readings and portraits?
What factors represent dominance or submission, respect or contempt, trust
or distrust between black and white colonists?
How did enslaved Africans and European colonists adapt to the insistent
diversity imposed on each by the other?

Brazil’s International Trade Regulations
The international trade patterns and compositions started to witness many shifts at the dawn of the 21ST Century, especially due to the evolution in the process of economic evolution. Consequently, the scope of cross-border trading has become more complex and wider. The implication is a multi-layered relational framework that links foreign direct investment, the support services of core activities of companies, and international trade as a result of fragmentation of production in terms of tasks and its global value chains’ geographic dispersion.
Consequently, the traditionally more closed Brazil’s economic policies have begun to shift. Brazil began to open its trade and investment regime policies since its last economic depression and recession about six years ago (Oliveira, 2017). The result include a decentralized but more market-driven environment via prices and state monopolies deregulation, privatization and privatization, and liberalization of investments. Furthermore, the World Trade Organization (WTO) reports th ...

Exporters are not sure, however, that this time road conditions will be much better.

The coronavirus crisis reveals the importance of national self sufficiencyFernando Alcoforado
The coronavirus crisis finds Brazil devastated as a country threatened with having collapsed its health system and unable to produce inputs for the manufacture of drugs, respirators and even masks to protect health professionals and the population. Even the United States today is a good example of the scarcity that many countries face because it transferred many of its industries to China. In New York, where the situation of the epidemic is dramatic, everything from personal protective equipment to respirators is lacking. Today, as in much of the world, many governments lament the lack of development projects that make the country self-sufficient because they have left the free market to make decisions such as closing factories in the country and taking them to places where profit margins would be higher, such as China, India and Southeast Asian countries. This stance was dictated by the vision that started to prevail in the world from 1990 onwards, that of globalization and the opening of markets according to the neoliberal ideology.

On the one hand, musicals (Sound of Music), World War II war films (The Great Escape) and historical epics (Dr. Zhivago) drove the adult market. Rebellion, sex and individual-minded heroes drove the youth market (Easy Rider, Bonnie and Clyde, The Graduate.) By the end of the decade, the tastes of the counter-culture youth had won. Anti-war film (Catch-22), flawed characters as heroes (The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly) and sexual issues (Midnight Cowboy, Butterfield 8, Valley of the Dolls) dominated the screen.
Question 1: What are some of the benefits of the Boomer generation's rebellion and changes to Hollywood in the 1960s?
Question 2: What are some of the drawbacks of having film dominated by the demands of an audience that was under the age of 25?

The mid-term essay will be the development of a general threat analysis of the US using the perspective of a foreign intelligence entity or service.
Foreign Intelligence Entity (FIE) Threat Analysis
The CIA's Counterintelligence Center Analysis Group (CIC/AG) identifies, monitors, and analyzes the efforts of FIEs against US persons, activities, and interests. CIC/AG analysts focus on two specific types of counterintelligence threats to US national security:
1. Transnational threats, such as the counterintelligence aspect of terrorism or the threats posed by emerging or changing technologies to the US Government, intelligence operations, and US Government information systems; and
2. Threats posed by FIEs and their activities.

MigrationThe human population has lived a rural lifestyle thro.docxhealdkathaleen
Migration
The human population has lived a rural lifestyle through most of history. The world’s population, however, is quickly becoming urbanized as people migrate to the cities. Developed nations have a higher percentage of urban residents than less developed countries. However, urbanization is occurring rapidly in many less developed countries, and it is expected that most urban growth will occur in less developed countries during the next decades.
In this Case, you are to select a country (not Nigeria and Canada) which is experiencing rural-urban migration and answer the following questions.
1. Identify the Country you have selected and briefly describe its demographics.
2. Discuss the factors that are driving rural-urban migration in your selected country? (Hint: Migration is often explained in terms of either “push factors” – conditions in the place of origin which are perceived by migrants as detrimental to their well-being or economic security, and “pull factors” – the circumstances in new places that attract individuals to move there).
3. Describe the impact of rural-urban migration in your selected country? Consider health, environmental, economic and social implications.

Brazil Historical Trade Patterns
Prof.: Dr. Kim, Rachel

Southern States University
Brazil is ranked position 22nd across the globe as the largest
export economy as per Economic Complexity index. The
country’s top exports are Soybeans, Iron Ore, Crude petroleum,
Raw Sugar as well as cars. The major exporting countries are
China, United States, Argentina, Netherlands and Japan. It’s
main importing nations are China, United States, Argentina,
Korea among other nations. The country experienced a 20%
shrinking in the trade surplus to a tune of $ 46.67 billion for
financial year 2019.
The recent shrank in international trading between Brazil and
other nations was driven by strengthening domestic demand
2. hence boosting the country’s economic growth rate to 2.3%.
Consequently, the country has had higher imports compared to
the exports in the recent times. The nation’s minister of Trade
Ferraz allude confidence a balance between imports and exports
would be attained.
The surplus were weakest in 2015 standing at $ 19.5 billion as a
result of adverse economic recession in the country. In 2019,
the demand for the Brazilian commodities faced the slowest
global growth within the decade, several uncertainintites
concerning the United States- China trade disputes. Moreover,
the trading activity experienced political as well as economic
turmoil in the latin America.
Argentina had a renewed slide into the economic as well as
political crisis that significantly reduced the exports for
manutactured goods to a tune of $ 5.2 billion in 2019. The trade
actibity was also slowed by the outbreak of t6he African swine
fever in the China market hence reducing the soy exports to a
tune of $ 6.7 billion.
Brazil enjoys a comparative advantage in the international trade
compared to other countries. For instance, United States has an
absolute advantage in the production of the computers but
Brazil enjoys a competitive advantage in the sector. Brazil has
offered subsides to the computers manufactures to close to two-
thirds the costs of producing in the United States. Consequently,
the favorable terms attract potential investors to produce
computers for ultimate export at a relatively cheaper costs of
production.
The Brazilian foreign trade policy allows for increased imports
while reducing on exportable products. At the beginning of
1990s, the country marked a significant shift in the foreign
trade policy which included the liberation of the foreign trade
attained through the reduction in import tariffs as well as the
full implementation of MERCOSUR with primary objective of
tackling globalization related problems. Consequently, the
country was to increase the imports while attaining the balance
of trade in 1996 of $ 5.5 billion and in 1997 at $ 8.4 billion.
3. The country through the ministry of trade seeks not only to
attain the balance of trade but also improve on the level of
imports and exports of raw materials as well as capital goods.
Therefore, the country geared on the selective imports to create
a modern industrial sector in the country.
The country has a significant volume of direct foreign
investment as evidenced in 1997 it was at $ 17 billion.
However, the county’s foreign investment increased by $ 9.3
billion as in December 2019.
The Brazil foreign market has its own challenges and
opportunities concerning the marketing of the products. The
Export trade does not receive adequate support to accelerate its
economic growth. The sector’s profitability reduced greatly as
well as lack of credit facilities to the traders. The country faces
adverse corruption activities hence hindering countries across
the globe such as U.S. among others trading with Brazil.
Brazil’s Currency fell in value hence assisted greatly in the
export growth in the country. Moreover, more firms are also
interested in investing in the country to drive the foreign
business sector.

TRADE IN BRAZIL2

Prof.: Dr. Kim, Rachel
Brazil’s International Trade Regulations

Southern States University
6. Running head: TRADE IN BRAZIL1
Brazil’s International Trade Regulations
The international trade patterns and compositions started to
witness many shifts at the dawn of the 21ST Century, especially
due to the evolution in the process of economic evolution.
Consequently, the scope of cross-border trading has become
more complex and wider. The implication is a multi-layered
relational framework that links foreign direct investment, the
support services of core activities of companies, and
international trade as a result of fragmentation of production in
terms of tasks and its global value chains’ geographic
dispersion.
Consequently, the traditionally more closed Brazil’s economic
policies have begun to shift. Brazil began to open its trade and
investment regime policies since its last economic depression
and recession about six years ago (Oliveira, 2017). The result
include a decentralized but more market-driven environment via
prices and state monopolies deregulation, privatization and
privatization, and liberalization of investments. Furthermore,
the World Trade Organization (WTO) reports that greater
flexibility and improved resource allocation have enabled the
Brazilian economy to deal with unfavorable internal and
external shocks thus facilitate a rapid financial recovery (World
Trade Organization, 2000).
The transformation has come with much opportunity. Market-set
exchange rate has enabled the country to decrease, or alleviate
measures that initially caused the restriction of supposed
exports or imports and create a definitive departure from all
forms of formerly protective trade policies. The progressive
policies have fostered an undistorted balance between export
and large domestic offer, and achieve and sustain greater
economic growth through its offer of a positive strategy towards
the realization of such opportunities.
The foreign direct investment (FDI) FOR Brazil has continued
to exponentially increase since1996, surpassing US$30 billion
7. in 1999 due to its stimulation of privatization (World Trade
Organization, 2000). Brazil’s internal market is very attractive,
has reflects a better share to MERCOSUR markets’ access, and
has an enhanced policy environments’ market orientation. Brazil
remains the largest country in Latin America, and the second
largest in the Western Hemisphere, only after the United States
of America. Furthermore, it remains the largest exporter of
several agricultural products and produce in the world,
including sugar, orange juice, and coffee. The European Union
(EU), MERCOSUR (including Argentina and Uruguay) are the
leading markets for Brazilian products, while the leading
suppliers to Brazilian markets include Argentina, United States,
and EU, in increasing order (World Bank Organization, 2020).
For instance, according to the US Census Bureau, Brazil has had
a net import and export totals of US$ 181,230,498.36 and
US$239,887,754.93, respectively, thus leading to a positive
trade balance of US$ 58,657,256.58 (in thousands), with the US
(United States Census Bureau, 2019).
Foreign trade in Brazil is governed by many resolutions,
decrees, provisional measures, and laws which are also
frequently amended. However, international trade regulations in
the country are very complex (Ayub, 2017; Novatrade, 2016).
Non-residents are exclusively taxed at source based in their
Brazilian-sourced income whereas residents the taxation of
residents is based on their worldwide income (International
Living, 2020). The main trade instrument in Brazil is tariffs
computed through a plan which converges or leans the Common
External Tariff (CET) of MERCOSUR (World Trade
Organization, 2000). Furthermore, the country adopted a
computerized system for customs clearance, or SISCOMEX to
simplify its custom clearance (Australian Trade and Investment
Commission, 2020). The other import policies include the
contingency measures like anti-dumping laws and automatic
import licenses for trade law monitoring and statistical
purposes.
Brazil regularly uses export promotion policies. The practice
8. aids the country to offset its domestic inefficiencies like
overvalued exchange rates, cascading tax system, inefficient
financial intermediation, and poor infrastructure. As a founding
member of the WTO, Brazil upholds the five basic principles of
global trading systems, including safety valves, transparency,
enforceable and binding commitments, reciprocity, and non-
discrimination. However, the European Commission has
recently reported that Brazil has resorted to several potentially
trade-restrictive measures.
Its domestic market is protected using applied customs duty
averaging at 13.5% (European Commission, 2019). The tariff
and non-tariff barriers inhibits open and stable regulatory
environment for foreign traders and investors. However, Brazil
sees the trade protection policies to cause the consumption of
Brazilian products and produce within the local market
(International Monetary Fund, 2019). The country is however
opening up and implementing newer international trade
regulations that would open up the Brazilian market to more
global trade.
