Learning objectives
The course offers a critical reflection on the history of the European integration process from its origins to the present day, placing it in the broader context of the political, economic, and cultural evolution of post-1945 Europe. In this way, both the main historiographical interpretative lines and the different integration projects implemented by the actors involved will be examined. Particular attention will be devoted to the evolution of EU institutions, both in terms of their ecosystem and in their relationship with national institutions and with other international institutions. To this end, the course will integrate the text and the material essential for exam preparation, while offering ample space for participation and discussion in class. At the end of the course the student will have thus obtained a more dynamic but also more complex image of what the process of European integration has represented and continues to represent.
Prerequisites and basic notions
Basic knowledge of modern history, good knowledge of contemporary history
Program
The course program is divided into three parts, the first two by the titular professor, the third by visiting professors Joao Carlos Tedesco (Universidade de Passo Fundo, Brazil) and María Inés Barbero (Universidad de Buenos Aires, Argentina). The first consists of a general presentation of Latin America from a geographical, economic and social perspective. It also includes the 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 1980: 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 examined in depth (in particular Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and Chile), articulating the analysis of the economic processes with that of the institutional and political contexts that constitute their framework. The third part of the course, which includes a 12-hour laboratory, will address on the one hand the debates on the causes of the limits of Latin America's development and on the other two specific issues: the problem of land concentration in Brazil and that of Latin America's performance in the second globalization. All lectures will also be streamed and video-recorded and form an integral part of the program to be prepared for the exam, together with the mandatory bibliography, for both attending and non-attending students. The latter are invited to contact the teacher in correspondence with the beginning of the lessons in the second semester. Mandatory bibliography for all, available in the course moodle: For an overview: - A. Rouquié, L'America Latina. Introduction to the Far West, Milan, Mondadori, 2007, part I and III - L.
