220024 The History of Development and Inter-American Cooperation (Ü) (SoSe 2022)
Contents, comment
-
Development discourses and economic aid profoundly shaped international relations between the global North and the global South in the twentieth century. The course exemplifies this history by looking at inter-American cooperation since the 1930s. We will follow the gradual change of development thinking over time, shed light on important moments such as Harry Truman’s Point Four Program, explore the history of crucial development aid projects such as the Alliance for Progress, and ask why these policies largely failed. The focus will be primarily on the tension between U.S. and Latin American development theories and actors, but also on new dependencies, for example in the form of loans.
No classroom is assigned to this course, yet. On April 7, we will meet via Zoom and discuss how to proceed. The Zoom link will be provided at eKVV.
