In all its activities the Woodrow Wilson Center is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization, supported finan- cially by annual appropriations from Congress, and by the contributions of foundations, corporations, and individuals. Conclusions or opinions expressed in Center publications and programs are those of the authors and speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Center staff, fellows, trustees, advisory groups, or any individuals or organizations that provide financial support to the Center.

  • 17.554 Syllabus-Revised
    17.554 The Political Economy of Latin America Professor Chappell Lawson Purpose This course is designed for graduate students in political science. Although doctoral students specializing in Latin America will presumably do outside reading, the class itself should be sufficient to prepare students for field exams. In case of unusually high enrollment, preference will be given to doctoral students over other students, and to students at MIT over those at other universities. Prerequisites The course assumes some familiarity with the history and geography of Latin America, as well as with comparative political science. For the uninitiated, useful sources on the region include The Cambridge History of Latin America, Thomas Skidmore and Peter Smith’s Modern Latin America, Gary Wynia’s The Politics of Latin American Development, or John Sheahan’s Patterns of Development in Latin America. There are also a number of widely available readers for those who feel the irrepressible urge to brush up on comparative politics. Knowledge of Spanish or Portugese is not required for this course. All course readings are in English, class discussions will be conducted in English, and papers should be written in English. However, non-native speakers who wish to read some of the course materials in their native language should see me during office hours, as many of the core readings are available in translation or were originally written in other languages. Course readings Weekly required readings average 175 pages. These readings are designed to acquaint you with the core paradigms in Latin American politics, as well as some of the most well known or well done empirical studies.

  • Syllabus Is a Celebration of Those Who Share a Passion for Understanding Mexico and Its Challenges for Divergent Perspectives
    Gov 1107 Mexican Politics1 Harvard University Updated on May 27, 2019 Professor: Viridiana Rios, Ph.D. Email: [email protected] Sessions: Monday and Wednesday / 9:00-10:15 a.m. Expected workload: 60 pages per class Room: CGIS K450 Office Hours: By appointment Course description Mexico's history features a unique combination of characteristics unseen in the rest of the world. It experienced a prolonged and violent revolutionary war, constructed one of the world's longest lasting authoritarian regimes, and yet consolidated a democratic political system that's vulnerable to populist appeals. Most countries during the past century had only one or two of these features, but not all three. This course will explore Mexico's idiosyncratic political identity and the distinctive challenges that come with it. We will come to understand why drug-related violence has spiraled out of control over the last decade, the role US-Mexico trade agreements play in creating a widening economic gap between north and south, and how crony capitalism has survived the consolidation of a democratic Mexico. Our primary goal is to discover the country in all its complexities by debunking the cartoonish stereotypes of one of the US's most important political, economic, and strategic allies. Structure Part I. Mexican Revolution: Revolution and reconstruction. Part II. Authoritarianism: The Mexican \Miracle", the perfect dictatorship, and repression & rebellion. Part III. Neoliberalism: Economic disequilibrium, neoliberalism, social costs and indigenous movements. Part IV. Democratization: Democratic transition, and unfinished democracy. Part V. Trying it all: Drug war, the \new" PRI, corruption, and AMLO's victory. Part VI.
