In this essay I am going to explain the social , economical and political situations , as you read in the tittle, of three specific countries of South America. But before going deep into these countries I am going to clarified some points of the continents it self and the division that exist inside of the continent South America.
When we talk about South America we are talking about the fourth largest continents of the earth after Asia , Africa and North America. South America is found in the western hemisphere. Most of the continent is in the southern hemisphere, although some parts of the northern part of the continent fall in the northern hemisphere. South America is a subcontinent of the Americas. South America as a continent is almost two times bigger as Europe by land area , and is marginally larger than Russia. The countries that conformed South America are Venezuela , Guyana , French Guiana , Suriname , Brazil , Ecuador , Colombia , Panama , Argentina , Paraguay , Uruguay , Peru , Bolivia and Chile. Most people when are talking about South America the normal most of the times they mention Brazil , Argentina and Colombia , some people talk about these countries in representation of South America because they are the most populated countries. But I am not going to specify on those three because most people will, and when we talk of South America we are not just talking about three countries , we are talking about fourteen whole , beautiful countries and all beautiful and unique in there own way , so is good that if we are from any of these countries , we are informed of all these important aspects , but not just of our own country , we should at least have the minimum knowledge about all the countries in our continent. That is why in these essay I am going to inform the social , economical and social aspects of the countries that we know the less. These countries are Suriname , Guyana and Bolivia .
First I am going to start with the country of Bolivia since is the most populated out of the three. The politics of Bolivia takes place in a framework of a presidential representative democratic republic, whereby the president is head of state, head of government and head of a diverse multi-party system. Executive power is exercised by the government. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the two chambers of parliament. Both the Judiciary and the electoral branch are independent of the executive and the legislature. Socially speaking Bolivia is a indigenous country with very old and traditional beliefs. The economy of Bolivia is the 95th largest economy in the world in nominal terms and the 87th economy in terms of purchasing power parity. It is classified by the World Bank to be a lower middle income country. With a Human Development Index of 0.675. Bolivia has the second largest reserves of natural gas in the continent. And Bolivia is also one of the world’s largest producers of coca.
Now the second country out of the three most populated is Guyana . Guyana is the only English speaking country is South America with it’s capital Georgetown. When we talk about politics Guayana is a parliamentary-style democracy with a constitution, a National Assembly, a multiparty system, elections, a president chosen by the majority party, a minority leader, and a judicial system based on common law. Despite its democratic institutions, independent Guyana has seen more than two decades of one-party rule and strongman politics, perpetuated by manipulation, racially based voting patterns, and a disenfranchisement of the Guyanese people. Socially speaking Guyana is a country full of tension between the two ethnical groups that share the country which are the africans , since most of guyanese people is descendent of African slaves , and Indians. Economically Guyana is a country full of resources , is a country covered in tropical rainforest , and have rich reserves of bauxite, gold and timber they struggle a lot with the poverty of the country and they do not know how to manage there economy correctly.
Last but not least is Suriname. Politically speaking Suriname take place in a framework of a parliamentary representative democratic republic, whereby the president of Suriname is the head of state and head of government, and of a pluriform multi-party system. Executive power is exercised by the government. The executive power is dependent on the parliament. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the National Assembly. The judiciary is independent of the executive and the legislature , most political parties are ethnically based. Socially speaking Most of its people are descended from African slaves and Indian and Javanese indentured laborers brought over by the Dutch to work in agriculture. They have a traditional culture , and still follow there roots. Economically is dominated by the mining industry, with exports of oil and gold , it has a vulnerable economy and gold, oil and agriculture are key economic sectors. Bauxite mining has gone into decline. Efforts have been made to diversify the economy.
To conclude my idea and my essay , when I choose these three countries is to notice and see how bad we are sanding not just as individual countries but as a whole continent. It is really hard to say how these countries will be a few years from now , a year from now , or even maybe tomorrow , because they all have a lost of problems and they have been living with these problems since forever and is really hard to see if all these aspects , but the most two important being the political and economical one , will change for real or will they just apparently change , but they are in the same situation.
