Latin America is a diverse and vibrant region and the home of some the world’s most dynamic economies and areas of great poverty. Students examine issues in Latin America today: the struggle to create a functional democracy; the war on drugs; relations with the United States; the benefits and challenges of globalization; rebel and reform movements; and the counter-revolutionary response to popular mobilizations, environmental problems, immigration and economic development and inequality.
