If oil prices stay below $90 per barrel
for any length of time, we will witness massive fiscal squeezes and
regime changes in one or more of the following countries: Iran, Bahrain,
Ecuador, Venezuela, Algeria, Nigeria, Iraq, or Libya. It will be a
movie we have seen before.

In the midst of the unrest this year in
Venezuela, there was little attention paid in the media to the
conditions facing Indigenous peoples in that country and where they
stood in regard to the anti-government demonstrations.

While it is important to be well-read and keep up
with the news, it can be equally important to make sure the news stories
mean something to you personally.

Over the last few months, the price of
Brent crude oil lost over 20 percent of its value, dropping below $90
just yesterday and hitting its lowest level in over two years. In
consequence, oil producers will no longer be able to rely on oil
revenues to pay their bills.

The challenge for regional democracies
will be to meet the rising economic and political expectations of their
people within a framework of slowing economies, reduced growth, and
growing global competition. The political implications are potentially
large.

The U.S.'s decision to send soldiers to
fight disease says it all. Every problem to the U.S. -- a country which
is armed to the teeth and which has become the proverbial hammer of the
world -- looks like a nail.
Human and labor rights lawyer
As a feminist, I've always felt deeply conflicted
about the whole boob job thing. On one hand, it's both sad and
ridiculous that women feel compelled to pay thousands and undergo
surgery to attain an ostensibly "more desirable" body.

Crimea, once part of Ukraine, is now
part of Russia (at least according to Putin). Yet so far, this dramatic
move is being met with relatively weak responses from the United States
and Europe.

Justice Vegas is optimistic about
Venezuela's future and believes that the democratic process began by
Hugo Chavez 15 years ago will continue and grow.

After zigging toward liberalization, by suggesting a reduction in the gasoline subsidy or letting the
bolívar devalue, and zagging back away, the only continuity is that Maduro is gradually displacing the original
chavista high guard.
Attorney, foreign policy writer
South American political elites seem to
have jettisoned much of the high minded left idealism of past years in
favor of crass economic interests. In a somewhat outlandish turn of
events, Brazil has embraced Vladimir Putin, a figure who has desperately
sought to end his country's political and diplomatic isolation.

Studying abroad contributes to global,
regional and national economies in a significant way. It opens up doors
for international trade, commerce and understanding, as well as for
peace building, communication, and national security.

Colombian President Santos staked his
job on finalizing a peace agreement with the FARC guerrillas. Voters
rewarded him with a mandate in June's run-off election, giving him a
decisive victory over right-wing challenger Oscar Zuluaga.

I beg to differ with liberals who say the recent U.S.
sanctions against individual members of the Venezuelan government are
counterproductive. By the same token, I disagree with conservatives who
dismiss them for being too light and applaud the White House and
Congress efforts to punish Venezuelan drug traffickers and human rights
violators for a very simple reason: in the rigged system of justice that
Hugo Chavez set up in the country, it is impossible for any member of
its repressive political system to ever face justice in a court of law.
