Development in Latin America from 1900
Between 1930 and the present, Latin America explored a great variety of paths towards development. This course goes across that period, tracing the causes and consequences of such exploration. Along the way we will find democracy and dictatorship, populism and revolution, export of raw materials and industrialization, globalization and dependency.
This course is at a Bachelor's level. It is offered during the autumn semester and is compulsory for students who follow the Bachelor program in Latin American Studies, but can also be taken as a free-standing course. Teaching takes place in English. You can read more about this course below.
