Argentina lost a seven-week war over the islands to Britain in 1982 and the two countries have since pledged to resolve their differences peacefully. But moves to begin exploiting what could be lucrative reserves of oil and gas around the islands have sent tensions soaring. The Latin American nation is taking the diplomatic offensive, lobbying countries at the Rio Group summit in Cancun next week to condemn what he called Britain's "unilateral and illegal" exploration in the islands and urge Britain to sit down for sovereignty talks.
Macy's Inc. is turning to star power this holiday season to fight disappointing sales and resistance to its takeover of local department stores.

Canadian policy makers have repeatedly emphasized improving relations with Brazil as a strategic objective in the Americas. Given past failures to cooperate, this objective may be difficult to realize. We argue that one of the reasons for this unrealized relationship between Canada and Brazil within hemispheric institutions is different national approaches to the role and purpose of multilateralism. This argument is advanced through an analysis of national interpretations of each country's engagement with multilateralism, drawing on the local literatures. The paper concludes with a discussion of the prospects and limits of future multilateral cooperation between the two countries, drawing on examples from the Inter-American System.

This paper examines the Harper government's approach to Cuba. Following some general comments on the evolution of Canadian policy towards revolutionary Cuba, it examines some of the errors in the Harper approach, suggests an explanation for the approach employed, and makes suggestions about policies that Ottawa should consider to improve relations. In sports terms, Cuba "punches above its weight"-a fact which is known widely in Latin Ame...

Alcan's board of directors is unanimously recommending shareholders accept Rio Tinto's all-cash offer of US$101 a share. Before Alcoa had tipped its hand on May 7, Alcan had the "wind in its sails," he said. Then Alcoa's move forced Alcan to consider all options and meet with several suitors. Rio Tinto's offer represents a premium of 32 per cent over Alcoa's US$76.03-per-share offer and a premium of 65.6 per cent over Alcan's record closing share price of US$61.03 on May 4 in New York before the Alcoa offer.
