This course aims to equip students with a deep understanding of Latin America’s multifaceted challenges. By focusing on key issues such as security, migration, inequality, climate change, democracy, and corruption, the course will provide a holistic analysis of how these factors interact and shape the region’s political, economic, and social landscape.
Key topics such as organized crime, drug trafficking, and migration will highlight regional instability, while discussions on inequality and climate change will focus on their impact on vulnerable populations. Corruption will be studied as a factor that undermines governance and complicates efforts to address these challenges, alongside an analysis of the current state of democracy in the region.
Ultimately, the course will encourage students to critically assess the broader implications of these challenges and develop informed strategies for promoting governance, stability, and sustainable development in Latin America.
Overall, students will build a robust foundation for understanding Latin America’s distinctive political, social, and economic landscape, gaining insight into the complex dynamics that shape domestic governance. By analyzing these interconnected factors, students will also explore how Latin America’s internal challenges influence its evolving role on the global stage.
To achieve this overall objective, the course will be structured in three modules with distinct intermediary objectives.
