Overview
The objective of the course is to provide area knowledge to prepare foreign affairs professionals to carry out their responsibilities working in or on Central America. Ability to also address Cuba and the Dominican Republic is a plus.
The purpose of the course is to provide participants with an understanding of the forces that have shaped modern Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama and continue to influence the course of each country’s development domestically and internationally, especially those issues that most affect relations with the United States. It reviews historical and cultural factors that have given rise to each country’s recent political and economic structure and explores the major social, economic, and political issues facing the nations today. It also provides an overview of each country’s government and economy as well as the present policies of the United States on the key issues in U.S.-bilateral relations. The seminar combines short lectures, class discussions, field trips, documentaries, and other participatory activities such as debates and oral presentation in class and is supported by readings.
