Description:

A. Pitcher The past decade has produced major changes in the political systems of Latin America, including the international debt crisis, the declining attraction of communist movements and ideologies, and a possible shift toward more democratic civilian governments. Focusing on the political and economic systems of such major nations as Mexico, Argentina, Peru, Chile, and Brazil, this course considers the sources and consequences of these and other developments. Related concerns include the political impact of the Catholic church, peasant movements, organized labor, debt, and United States influence in the region. POSC 213 strongly recommended.
