The Country of Argentina
Argentina is a South American country with a population of thirty one million people. Argentina’s capital is Buenos Aires, which is one of the largest cities in South America. Buenos Aires is situated on the coast of Argentina, which makes Buenos Aires a major trade route in Argentina and in South America. Argentina’s national language is Spanish and the major religion is Roman Catholicism. Argentina is a country with much natural beauty. It has miles of beautiful beaches and is also surrounded by the majestic Andes Mountains. The Andes Mountains are among the highest mountains in the world. Argentina’s tallest mountain is the Cerro Aconcagua. This mountain reaches an amazing height of 22,200 ft. America’s tallest mountain only reaches the height of 20,000 ft.
Argentina has a huge industrial and agricultural base. Argentina has a large amount of natural resources which includes copper, silver, coal, iron ore, uranium and petroleum. Argentina is the #1 copper producer in the world. Argentina also produces huge amounts of coal and is self-sustained in petroleum products. Argentina also grows much more food than it consumes. Its main crops include wheat, tobacco and cattle. Argentina ranks 3rd in the world among wheat exporters, right behind the United States and Canada. Argentina is also one of the largest tobacco exporters as well.
Argentina’s large industrial and agricultural base makes it one of the richest countries in South America. With its rich history and its beautiful mountains and beaches, not to mention its wonderful Spanish culture, Argentina is a very special place to visit in South America.

Global Trade and Production
Q. 2
What factors affect leadership positions on trade policy?
Political, economic, social, and cultural factors may all be categorized as reasons why governments decide to meddle in commerce. The government of a country may try to safeguard certain professions or sectors for political reasons. For purposes of national security, several industries—such as the military, telecommunications, and infrastructure—might be considered crucial. A government could be concerned about who manages the ports inside its own borders, for instance. Problems with national security may have a detrimental influence on a nation’s imports as well as exports. This is so that advanced technical secrets are not sold to adversarial foreign interests, since certain countries do not want this to happen. When they believe that another country is being treated unjustly politically or economically, the governments of certain countries turn to trade as a method of retribution. Governments, on the other hand, have the power to affect business in order to recompense nations for their political support on global concerns.
Q. 6
I have chosen to focus on global trade and production because of the significant role it plays in contemporary society. The world’s economy has become more interconnected as a result of globalization, and international trade accounts for a significant share of the economies of the majority of countries. Understanding the dynamics of global trade and production is important. Consumers benefit from having more options, and businesses are compelled to provide products that are both high-quality and economical as a consequence of the increased competition caused by this strategy. Additionally, political, economic, social, and cultural factors affect how nations participate in trade and their competitive production advantage.

Introduction
As the year 2012, begins it should be noted that political risks reign global headlines in an unprecedented manner. In every segment of the global economic scene concerns rise over gridlocked, insular, or fractured politics that affect the market. A continuance of the politically driven upheaval in the euro zone appears guaranteed.
POLITICAL RISKS IN 2012
Ironically, political risk in contemporary times has grown to be so trendy that its consequences are now normally overstated. Therefore, the great challenge, for political analysts as well as corporate investors and decision-makers, is in cautiously considering the risks in a globe of ever-increasing data, information, and commentary. In this regard, the Middle East and G-zero should be accorded top priority risk for the year 2012 (Eurasia Group 4).
The Middle East and G-zero. The Middle East and G-zero should be accorded top priority risk for the year 2012. The G-Zero in this case refers to the unwillingness or inability of the leading world powers to assume new burdens and risks. The United Nations notes that, in this region, there are numerous unresolved sectarian, religious, as well as ethnic tensions. It is also imperative to consider the continuing nonexistence of a feasible regional security structure, at the heart of ongoing protests, long-standing autocracies at risk and colossal challenges facing the recent democratic regimes (4).
Note that, the U.S may not depart from the region soon. However, moribund US leverage generates a gap in peripheral political engagement, security provision, and economic support. This is at a time of outstanding geopolitical volatility in the region. It is worthwhile to note that Turkey assumes the role of the contemporary Islamic model for democracy, economic dynamism, and modernism. On the contrary, Saudi Arabia, desires to develop the power of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) to counteract America’s pressure for speedy reform, particularly in the Middle East monarchies (4).
There is a mounting danger for Israel, too. The Arab Spring has created a gush of populism across the Middle East, roiling Israel’s associations with Jordan, Turkey, and Egypt. In the meantime, Israel has little assurance in support from its global allies including the U.S. Ally fatigue, an increasing feeling of seclusion, and Iran’s proposal to shift its nuclear program to bomb-resistant underground locations make an Israeli hit on Iran increasingly thinkable, although currently unlikely, particularly in the face of Iran’s provocations. In addition, it undermines negotiation efforts with Palestine, opening up likelihood for more bloodshed, within Lebanon and Israel.
In Syria, there are little prospects of constructive negotiations between the opposition and Assad. In regard to this leadership struggle, the Arab League may extend Assad’s regime without creating a credible solution to the calamity. In Iraq, bigger sectarian conflict is currently filling the vacuity left by the departure of American troops. Earlier trends in the direction of mutual accommodation have overturned, and Shia-Sunni tensions are yet again on the rise. As the events unfold, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Iran, each seek more influence in the region (4).
CONCLUSION
No key player external to the region will move in to fill this void. This scenario would leave three major regional players namely Turkey, Iran, and Saudi Arabia in the current Middle East predicament. This is because external actors have little enthusiasm for intervention, and there is practically no prospect of regional collaboration to resolve these problems. Paradoxically, that is the real dilemma. That is why the United Nations requires considering an intervention in the Middle East and G-zero predicaments as a matter of urgency.
