Università Roma Tre

This course is based on the assumption that each country's domestic policy conditions its foreign policy. The theorists who debate the subject are studied. In the case of Argentina, the course starts with the Consolidación Nacional (Consolidation of Latin America) and continues up to the present day, with particular attention to the Malvinas conflict. With respect to Latin America, we look at the processes of the formation of nation states and their foreign policies. The cases of Chile, Brazil and Mexico are analysed. With regard to 20th century foreign policies, the case of Mexico and the recent Inter-American problem are examined in depth, including the presidential summits. The course concludes with an overview of the globalisation process and a workshop on writing the essay required at the beginning of the course.
