COURSE DESCRIPTION The course examines the transitions from authoritarian rule in Latin America, a region that was long characterized by military regimes and variations of authoritarianism. Readings explore a number of theoretical questions, among them the nature and weaknesses of authoritarian regimes as well as the general causes of their disintegration. The course assesses the ongoing process of democratization in the region, which has been underway since the early 1980s, and assesses national and international factors that may condition and effect the course of transition. The course will also seek to highlight any lessons for (and from) the more recent transitions from communist rule in central and eastern Europe.
