Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

International organizations (e.g., the United Nations and World Bank) have effected political outcomes in Third World conflicts in the following ways.

These international organizations have a powerful presence in Latin American countries because they are represented by many countries that are members of these organizations that have economic and political interests in the region.

The United Nations -for instance- has many agencies that play key roles in underdevelopment countries. We are talking about the World Health Organization, the United Nations Environment Program, the World Food Program, the Food and Agriculture Organization, the International Monetary Fund, and UNESCO, among others.

When a crisis, natural disasters, and economic or political instability is present in one of the Latin American countries, these agencies and programs tried to intervene and offer some relief but many times is at a high cost for the countries. These countries ask for loans to partially resolve their urgencies but become more4 in deep debt that makes the situation worse.
