| Sumario: | Descripción del curso / Course Description
This survey course studies the formation of the relationship between the U. S. and
Latin America since the early days of the Wars of Independence. The period of
continental state formation, the subsequent U. S. southward expansion by the turn
of the century, and the transformations that occurred as a consequence of U.S.
position as a world power, including the World Wars, the Cold War and its
aftermath, and the current post-Cold War transitionwill be analyzed also. While the
course will implement a comprehensive historical approach, the focus is placed on
the analysis of specific moments and crises. Even when the Eighteenth and
Nineteenth Centuries are the grounds to understand the process of policy formation,
the bulk of the course concentrates on the diplomatic performance in the Twentieth
Century to the present. We will not only address the analysis of the major
continental actors that shaped the core of the inter-American relations but also to
less known actors that have impacted relations as well |
