	August 15: Likely Ill-Fated President-elect Takes Office Tonight at Ceremony in Paraguay
		Given that the dominating Colorado Party of Paraguay has spent the last fifty-five years emptying the National Treasury, mixing party with public funds and hatching scores of corruption scandals, one would assume that the electorate would have chosen an opposition party candidate for their country’s highest office in the most recent election.
		Although the last two presidents — both Colorados — were impeached, the candidate of this dominant but deeply divided party has triumphed once again, despite the fact that he played a crucial role in prolonging the administration of his predecessor, the second president in a row to face impeachment on corruption charges.
		The Colorados have held on to their hegemonic power in part because the state is the biggest employer in Paraguay; thus, these workers vote to keep the Colorado Party in power mainly so that they can keep their jobs.

	World View: Democracy failing in Paraguay
		But some economists argue that it is not Paraguay's inefficient bureaucracy that is to blame for the country's economic woes, but a weak state that has done little to protect local industry and to invest in social services.
		Compared to other countries in the region, Paraguay hardly participated in the free market bonanza of the 1990s, during which import tariffs were slashed, government regulations streamlined and state-owned industries auctioned off.
		But unlike Argentina and Brazil, Paraguay never had a strong, interventionist state to begin with, and therefore there were relatively few trade barriers to knock down and state-owned companies to dismantle, according to Fernando Masi, co-director of the Asuncion-based CADEP think tank.
