Chile’s active policies of bilateral, regional and multilateral trade agreements, combined with their open economy have underpinned their position as an active international partner (CIEChile 2015). One of these agreements is the Pacific Alliance from 2011, a trade bloc between Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru. The aim of the alliance is to advance economic integration, free trade and free movement of people. An additional part of the Alliance was the Integrated Latin American Stock Market or MILA. The background of establishing MILA was to offer a greater supply of stocks, issuers, and funding to investors throughout Latin America (Marketline 2015).

While some have been slightly improving, taken as a whole, Latin America is in a slump. Some of the viewpoints attributed this to the extremely interventionist policies instituted by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The International Monetary Fund, according to the speakers, gives a large sum of money to these struggling countries and in return institutes standard policies that are not always successful. One source described it as an “experiment where they’ve forced these countries to implement tight fiscal policies and open trade and monetary policies regardless of what was happening on the ground, and it has failed” (21-22). However, officials from the International Monetary Fund dispute these claims, and assert that their policies have brought about positive change and growth.

California which is one of the fifty states of American might have been stolen from Mexico. On April 25th 1846 after the annexation of Texas American soldiers went to the borders by Texas and went to guard it. Mexico had a different perspective however and saw that the United States were crossing their borders and attacked them. This caused a lot of conflicts which lead to the Mexican American War. I believe that America was not justified with going to war with Mexico because of how Mexico did not accept the annexation of Texas, Mexico defending their land and US invading it, the last reasons is what Mexico did not accept slavery but Americans ignored this rule.
