The latest Trading the Globe special on CNBC took an in-depth look at Argentina, a market with many of the components that make Brazil a world-class emerging economy.

Argentina is out of the wilderness: For nearly a decade since the 1998 bond market rout, Argentina has been isolated from international capital markets after declaring the largest sovereign debt default in history. But now the country is re-emerging as a regional and global player to watch.
Economic momentum is solid: Is Argentina the next big emerging market to follow in the Brazil mold? Is it too late to climb aboard? Either way, with Argentina on track to post a strong fiscal trade surplus and growth this year, the economic momentum should carry through 2011.
