Course Description:
In this course, we will examine the interrelated macroeconomic and development challenges that Latin American countries have faced in the past few decades. Our focus will be on growth and economic diversification issues, and the management of key variables to deal with macroeconomic volatility. We will study these issues by analyzing the import-substitution industrialization strategy, the debt crisis, the period of neoliberal reforms, and the different policy regimes that have been in place since the early 2000s. |
