The Latin American emerging role in world economy and geopolitics
Is Latin America a geographic region, a cultural area, or a geopolitical pole? This course discusses the nature and international standing of a hybrid subcontinent, which combines traits of cultural homogeneity with increasing political and economic divergence. The lectures will focus on three aspects: the political landscape of the region (democratization and breakdown, presidentialism, foreign policy), the evolution of regional integration, and the evolving international relations of Latin American countries (mainly regarding the United States, the European Union, and China).
