Kommentar
While the Latin American dictatorships of the 1970s and 1980s have often been studied as a regional phenomenon, recent scholarship has begun to focus more on the global context in which they took place. The obvious starting point is the Cold War context and the support dictators received from the United States to stave off the rise of communist and socialist governments in the region. More recent literature has also begun to focus on the international networks that arose out of the dictatorial experience, either through the collaboration of churches, exiles, political parties, and other kinds of organizations. The Latin American dictatorships, for example, were catalysts for the development of the human rights movement on a global scale. This seminar seeks to explore the history of the Latin American dictatorships taking a global perspective. While the course will focus on the experience of the Chilean dictatorship, students are encouraged to critically engage with this and other cases in the region. Schließen
