The aim of this investigation was to determine the historical relationship between anti-communism in the United States and military dictatorship in Paraguay. Relations between the two countries have been of great importance since the U.S attempt to obtain hemispheric solidarity in World War II, the Cold War in Latin America, and the balance of power in the La Plata region. The Archives of Terror are official documents of police repression between Alfredo Stroessner's dictatorship and the U.S. U.S provided support and aid to Paraguay dictator. Alfredo Stroessner spanned more than half a century. The course of Paraguay-U.S. relation during his regime is illustrative of the flow of real politics in both nations. Not only did Washington had definite diplomatic goals, so did $Asunci{\acute{o}}n$. The relative disparity in power and wealth between the two nations did not necessarily hinder Paraguay's pursuit of international advantage in its relations with the United States.

This study analyzes how the health program is implemented by political and economic factors in the case of Minga Ambiental program in Paraguay. In the field of critical medical anthropology, the practice of health care programs explains that socio-cultural and political and economic factors can be the main variables besides the primary purpose of preventing and eradicating the disease. In the same vein, this study also analyzed how community-based health programs operate by various external factors. As a result, the Minga Ambiental program is a health program called Dengue Fever, which has been tended to be sustained and expanded by various actors, including politicians and corporations in countries and communities, despite concerns about effectiveness.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify policy implications for the construction of public health facilities in the field of international cooperation, by examining the case of establishing a health care delivery system using a public health center in a rural area of Paraguay. Methods: Firstly, to map the capacity of the 20 public health centers that were studied, we used the WHO Capacity Mapping tool to select and analyze relevant items. Secondly, to assess the utilization of public health centers, we conducted a direct visit survey and analyzed the results using the M-survey tool. Results: The floor plan of each public health center, the structure of the health center, the size of the population served by each health center, the number of monthly visitors, medical human resources, and the budget were classified by health center for comparative analysis. In addition, by utilizing the M-survey tool, we analyzed the general characteristics of the respondents, their perceptions of the purpose and accessibility of public health centers, their satisfaction with using public health centers, and the level of demand for public health centers to play a role in promoting community health. Implications: The results of this study suggest that access to public health facilities for residents in the research area was improved. By classifying public health centers into two types, these centers can perform the functions and roles of primary health facilities. A patient request and evacuation system was established in the research area. Finally, a network, such as a social prescribing program, is needed so that public health centers can function as a "setting" for community members to live together.

Después de la década 1990, la soja ha sido un agro-producto más importante en Paraguay. Pero la soja ha convertido el campo rural en la zona de la producción, es decir, la zona de sojización, para la exportación. Por otro lado, el campo rural se ha deteriorado por el aumento de la extensión del cultivo sojal. Los cultivos se extienden a lo largo de cientos de kilómetrios y afectan zonas muy cercanas a comunidades, colonias y otros asentamientos campesionos e indígenas, incluyendo escuelas, hogares, charcas familiares y comunitarias. Los sojeros utilizaron los agrotóxicos que contaminaron la tierra, agua y alimentos. Aunque los campesinos no quieren vender sus tierras, no ven otras alternativas ante los graves problemas que conllevan las masivas fumigaciones. Ellos venden sus lotes y migraron a ciudades. Se pierde la soberanía territorial, pues las tierras pasan a manos extranjeras, y la soberanía alimentaria, porque se desplaza la diversificación y los cultivos de subsistencia, expulsando a los campesions hacia las ciudades. Ante el agravamiento de la situación causado por el incremento del cultivo de la soja, los campesinos empezaron a resistir, es decir, desarrollar 'la guerra de la soja' contra los sojeros y el gobierno paraguayo que no tenia refuerzos de resolver los problemas. Los campesinos formaron coordinadoras por la defensa de sus tierras y de su modo de vida contra los sojeros. Las luchas y movilizaciones reclaman no sólo un nuevo tipo de reforma agraria sino también la defensa de la soberanía económica, alimentaria y territorial, el derecho a producir con la propia semilla y a desarrollar técnicas agrícolas adecuadas de acuerdo con la economía campesina y el equilibrio del medio ambiente, el desarrollo de formas sociales de producción y la democratización en el medio rural.
