Learning outcomes
The goal of the course is to explore the instability of Latin American political systems from the late 19th century to the 21th century. This exploration does not want to isolate the politics from other two dimensions: the social question, on the one hand, and the cultural orientations, on the other.
Program
Classes: second term
The course will be dedicated to the history of Latin America in the late nineteenth and early twenty-first century. The first lessons, nevertheless, will address three long-term assumptions about the issues, conflicts, and the "delays" of Latin America countries.
The crux of the course will investigate the problems that emerge in the South American twentieth century while undermining the ability to sustain a xenophilous cultural orientation but even more to build an inclusive and stable political system.
