International Organizations LA The past two decades have witnessed the evolution of different movements and organizations that are challenging traditional conceptions of relations among nations in the Western Hemisphere as we have known them since 1945. What has brought about the emergence of these movements and organizations? Are we witnessing paradigmatic changes that will redefine hemispheric relations in years to come? What is the importance, if any, of these changes for the future of the Hemisphere? This seminar examines the changing nature of inter-hemispheric relations in the 21st century. It will combine a variety of theoretical approaches and policy issues to illustrate and analyze the history and nature of these changes. It is designed for upper level undergraduate and graduate students interested in pursuing further research and/or careers in inter-hemispheric affairs. Although the seminar does not presume a prior knowledge of International Relations Theory, it does presume knowledge of Latin American political economy and history and a reading knowledge of Spanish.
