授業の目的 【英語】
Goals of the Course | | | This course is aimed at introducing (a) historical process of Latin American countries’ social, economic, and political development and (b) a theoretical understanding of core development issues. Latin American region has rich experience of both successes and failures with regard to political and economic development. The region not only faced some developmental challenges prior to other world regions but also has implemented also some innovative reforms firstly. Important theories in economics and political science, which have many implications to other regions, have been constructed and tested in Latin American context. The goal, therefore, is to transmit both empirical and theoretical knowledge from Latin America. |

授業の内容や構成
Course Content / Plan | | The lecture is structured into five sections, which are interrelated each other. After an introduction of particular features in the regional social structure, brief history of economic development will be provided. Then we turn to democratization, a study field to which the Latin American experience has a large contribution. While these three sections are more historical, the latter half, with two sections, narrows down on specific themes in current policymaking and policy development. Government officials, development practitioners, and political and economic analysts, as well as aspirants for those either in Latin America or in other regions of the world, will find them helpful.
