This course is designed to provide the student with a
comprehensive survey of the major theories and leading
issues in the study of economic development in Latin
America. Particular emphasis is placed on those economic
and historical links between the countries of the region and
the developed nations in influencing the nature and
direction of the former's unbalanced growth and delayed
development. In so doing, students acquire a deeper
understanding of the socioeconomic obstacles preventing
economic growth and development in the region and a greater
appreciation of the importance of the interdisciplinary
approach in development studies.
