 Argentine Government Says It Can't Pay Its Workers
Buenos Aires, Feb. 25 — The Argentine government has announced that it cannot pay the full monthly salaries of more than half a million-government employees who are expecting to be paid this week.
In a report published today, Argentine Research, an economic consulting firm, said that at the very least, "the government will confront a complicated week full of political negotiations" and that any "economic recovery is highly unlikely in the short run."
Now that the government has scrapped its decade-old policy of fixing the Argentine peso's value at one American dollar and backing every peso in circulation with a dollar in reserves, it is free to cover shortfalls simply by issuing more pesos.

 GRAIN | Agricultural research for whom? | Argentina struggles with Roundup Ready soybean royalties
When Monsanto announced in September that it was renewing biotech soybean research in Argentina, it appeared that the Argentine government and the company's management were on the road to resolving a decade-long royalty- related dispute (see FCN Sept. 13, Page 5).
Tensions came to a head when Monsanto management informed Argentine exporters that the company intended to collect royalties on RR soybean shipments upon arrival in foreign markets where the patent is respected.
Benito Legeren, head of the Argentine Rural Confederation, estimated that overseas royalty collections would cost Argentine soybean producers $200 million, enough to erase profits in the upcoming year.

Ask the typical Argentine about what he or she knows of Argentina's fl population or that country's African heritage and one is likely to receive one of two responses.
Despite the demographic significance of fl Argentines even into the nineteenth century (they represented about 30% of Buenos Aires's population in 1810), Morrone suggests that they were reduced to almost invisibility as a result of miscegenation, disease, and warfare (13-18).
Moreover, any discussion of fls in the Argentine military would be incomplete without references to the unitarist Colonel Lorenzo Barcala (65-67) and the semi-mythical "Falucho" (58-59).

 American University Law Review: Volume 46, Book 5 TITLE
For example, nineteenth century Argentine constitutionalism was a failure if analyzed in terms of social and economic equality, the democratic nature of its elections, or the implementation of all aspects of its written text.
The Argentine Constitution of 1853/1860 emerged from the intellectual vision of a small group of Argentine thinkers who lived in exile during Rosas' reign and were inspired by the model of the United States.
The Alberdian vision, although clearly summarizing the philosophy that guided the Argentine elite, was hardly ever cited for constitutional authority, perhaps because Alberdi spent most of the rest of his life as a political dissident in self-imposed exile in Europe after Mitre defeated the Confederation in 1861.

 Juan Facundo Quiroga Summary
After the war, Quiroga established himself as one of the leaders of federalism in Argentina (along with Rosas and the caudillo of Santa Fe, Estanislao López), although he declared in his correspondence with Rosas that his ideas were in fact unitarian, but that he became a champion of federalism because people wanted federalism.
In 1834 Quiroga was appointed by the governor of Buenos Aires (and Representative of Foreign Relations of the Argentine Confederation) Manuel Vicente Maza to mediate beetween the governors of Tucumán and Salta, but Salta governor De la Torre died before Quiroga could arrive.
Rosas, as the Confederation leader, led the criminal investigation that ended with the prosecution of the governor of Córdoba José Vicente Reinafé, and his brother as the intellectual perpetrators of the crime.
