Course Description
From the CTY Course Catalog (2008):
In this course, students examine a variety of economic development theories and how they have been implemented in Latin America. The theories examined include import substitution industrialization, structural adjustment, and free trade and regional integration. Using historical cases, students discuss issues such as the difference between growth and development, the role of institutions in economic development, and the persistence of economic inequality and poverty in the Americas.
