Overview

Although Latin American Studies as a full-fledged programme was introduced in 1971 in the School of International Studies (SIS) from Jawaharlal Nehru University, academic interest in the area and preparatory work towards this end began as far back as 1955 when the Department of American History and Institutions was established.

Key Features

Intended to stimulate interest in the North American affairs, in time, the study of 'special' historic relations that the US had with its neighbouring countries inevitably prompted some forward-looking faculty members of the Department to underline the special need for training in Latin American Studies too and emphasise the favourable expertise that the Department enjoyed to provide such training.

Programme Structure

Courses include:

A Survey of Latin American History

Government & Politics in Latin America

Contemporary Economic Problems of Latin America

Process of Political and Economic Restructuring in Latin America

US Economic Policy Towards Latin America

Brazil Since 1930s
