The Colombian clearances

Article Abstract:

There has been conflict in Barrancabermeja and Bolivar province, Colombia, and paramilitary forces and the Colombian armed forces have carried out bombing and land sweeps. This has led to the local population having to flee as refugees. The government has admitted establishing and funding illegal paramilitary groups. The government and paramilitary claim to be acting to combat the National Liberation Army, which wants ordinary Colombians to benefit more from petroleum wealth. The refugees notes that the actions of armed forces and paramilitary groups leaves land free of ordinary people for companies to exploit.

Standard ogre

Article Abstract:

Standard Oil was one of the first companies to be affected by antitrust regulation, and the company was broken up, with 34 companies formed, including Mobil and Exxon. American Tobacco, Alcoa and AT and T were also affected by antitrust moves in later decades, as was Microsoft during the 1990s. Political issues are important when courts seek to control monopoly power, and the application of the law leaves leeway for judgement on whether competition exists and the extent to which markets are affected. There are also problems in regulating national markets when markets are increasingly global.
