WiSe 14/15: A Continent of Crises? An Economic History of Latin America
Christian Ambrosius, Michael Goebel
Kommentar
Economic and financial crisis have plagued few world regions as much as they did in Latin America. This seminar seeks to trace some of the historical reasons for Latin America's proneness to recurring crises. The seminar's first part offers a theoretical approach to the economic history of Latin America. It raises the question, for instance, of whether and how specific institutions derived from colonial times shaped the region's economic history. We will also address the role that ideas played in the formulation of economic policies. The second (and larger) part of the seminar deals with a series of historical case studies of economic and financial crises and phenomena, ranging from colonial times through to the present. The maximum of participants will be 30, seminar language is English (unless all students prefer German), while a basic knowledge of Spanish will be an advantage. For those who take the course as part of the module "Konstituierung Lateinamerikas" (M.A. Interdisziplinäre Lateinamerikastudien): This course is targeted towards students with previous knowledge in Latin American history, as an alternative to the "Grundkurs Konstituierung Lateinamerikas".
