PSC 325 Latin American Politics
The central purpose of this course is to introduce students to the varied
political institutions and practices throughout Latin America. Another
purpose is to sharpen our analytical tools so that we can better describe
and explain the political differences and similarities among Latin
American countries. Finally, this course will increase our understanding
of the obstacles Latin Americans have faced in building stable, equitable
political systems, and our appreciation of their many accomplishments.
Each year brings a new thematic focus. This year we will focus on
militarism and demilitarization. Counts as an advanced course in
Comparative Politics. This course is offered in the fall semester.
