Program
The course program is organized in three parts. The first consists of a general presentation of Latin America from a geographical, economic and social perspective. It also includes an analysis of the main concepts used in the course, including globalization. The second presents an overview of the economic history of Latin America between 1870 and 2015: the main stages of this history and the general performance of the countries in the different periods will be examined. For each of the periods examined, some representative national cases will be studied in depth (in particular Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and Chile), articulating the analysis of economic processes with that of the institutional and political contexts that constitute their framework. Finally, starting from the concrete historical experience, the course will address on the one hand the debates on the causes of the limits of development in Latin America and on the other the comparison with the success of other countries, articulating history and theory, in a comparative perspective. All lessons will be delivered in person, streamed and videotaped and form an integral part of the program to be prepared for the exam, together with the mandatory bibliography. Compulsory bibliography for all, available in the course moodle: For an overview: - A. Rouquié, Latin America. Introduction to the Far West, Milan, Mondadori, 2007, part I and III - L.
