Description and Goals
This course will introduce you to the major issues, debates, and works of scholarship relating to Latin America’s role in regional, international, and global politics and political economy. While we will trace the evolution of the international politics of the region from the beginning, this course focuses on the period starting with the Cold War. We will pay particular attention to current issues and future horizons relating to Latin America’s place in the global system, including its evolving relationship with the U.S., the growing role of China, and the rise of Brazil. Throughout, we will analyze how thinkers from a variety of fields, perspectives, and locations have sought to make sense of the Latin American experience.
