ECON 246 - Latin America and the World Economy

Type of Course: Lecture, Discussion
This course explores the past 150 years of Latin American economic development. An important theme is understanding the roles of both domestic and international influences on Latin American development. The course begins with a consideration of colonial legacies. It then turns to the incorporation of many Latin American economies into the international economy by 1900 and the dramatic turn towards isolation with the adoption of import substitution policies during the 1940s and 1950s. It concludes with an assessment of the adoption of domestic and international reform during the 1980s and 1990s. Along the way, comparisons with Asia and North America will help to assess the pattern of Latin American development.

Prerequisites: ECON 011 .

Instructor: Mr. Brown
