RE: DEMOCRACY, ECONOMY, GEOPOLITICS, LATIN AMERICA


Argentina is a large country in South America, bordered by Chile, Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia, and Uruguay, with a long Atlantic coastline. Its capital, Buenos Aires, is known for its cultural life, political activism, and historic role in shaping Latin American thought and identity.


Argentina is the second-largest economy in South America and has abundant natural resources, including fertile farmland, oil, gas, and lithium. It is globally recognised for its literature, music, and football, as well as its bold, sometimes turbulent political history.


The country has also produced powerful women leaders who have shaped public life and advocacy. Eva Perón (Evita) campaigned for women’s suffrage and workers’ rights in the 1940s. Cristina Fernández de Kirchner served as President and currently as Vice President, while figures like Alicia Moreau de Justo and Victoria Donda have led feminist, human rights, and civil society movements across generations.


Argentina is a democratic republic with a history of military dictatorship (1976–1983), followed by a return to democracy and strong human rights activism. It continues to play a leading role in regional politics, international climate efforts, and debates around social justice.
