Description

To what extent has the relationship between the U.S. and Latin America shaped both regions' political reality? This course will use IR theory to explain the foreign policy dynamics of the region. It will explore issues in the multilateral agenda prior to the end of the cold war and how American foreign policy has changed (or not) over time. It will also examine current inter-American sources of tension including drugs, immigration, and free trade.
