Expanded Course Description
| This course is designed to provide students with an introduction to the dynamic nature of Latin American politics by addressing historical and contemporary social, political, and economic developments and challenges. It explores the causes and consequences of diverse phenomena such as regime change, economic development, revolutions, democratization, market-oriented reforms, and social mobilization. The course will give students an overview of regional trends with more in-depth study of selected countries including Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Cuba, Guatemala, and Venezuela. In so doing, students will learn to study Latin America as a region, but also to examine important differences within the region. Students should acquire a basic familiarity with Latin America historically and currently, knowledge of key countries and sub-regions, and will develop a desire to further their studies through future coursework, reading and travel. This is an area-satisfying course in the Social Sciences and as such draws on work from political science, economics, sociology and geography in its exploration of social, economic and political developments in the region. Students are expected to apply central social science concepts, theories, and approaches to a variety of empirical phenomenon, synthesizing across course material and developing original arguments. PS 330 is also one of the Core Education Cultural Literacy courses in Global Perspectives and as such raises issues of race and ethnicity in relation to legacies of colonization, indigenous movements and multiethnic nationhood. |
