Specifically, it will look at how Latin America\u2019s participation in the world economy as mostly a provider or natural resources and migrant labour has maintained its current pattern of underdevelopment, while new (and old) political formulations from the region itself seek to improve its situation. Intra-regional comparisons of the forces of populism, neoliberalism and radical politics will explain with national cases how domestic political and social processes react to globalization, as experienced in the South.<strong><br>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LACS 1002A: Introduction to Latin American and Caribbean Studies II Winter 2022 Instructor: Professor Pablo Heidrich This course will approach contemporary Latin America (late XX Century to today) from a political economy lens, assessing how global and local economic forces plus political ideas, social movements and individual leaders have contributed to the creation of today\u2019s [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2262","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-course-descriptions"],"acf":{"cu_post_thumbnail":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lacs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2262","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lacs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lacs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lacs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lacs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2262"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lacs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2262\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2276,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lacs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2262\/revisions\/2276"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lacs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2262"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lacs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2262"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lacs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2262"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
