Description:

In the past quarter of a century, Latin America has experienced many dramatic transformations in the social, economic and political spheres, yet many traditional characteristics of Latin America, suchas pervasive income inequality, persist. This course seeks to provide students with an introduction to contemporary Latin America. Throughout the course we explore the interaction of historical, social, economic and political factors.

The course will highlight a few countries as case studies. I
