NEW COURSE ANNOUNCEMENT
Course Number and Title:
REGN U6330: POST NEOLIBERAL POLICIES IN THE ANDES
Time/Date: Wednesdays 11:00AM -12:50PM
Location: 802 IAB
Instructor: Juan Antonio Morales, Tinker Visiting professor Fall 2012
**This is a seven week course, starting Wednesday, October 17 through Wednesday, December 5, 2012. 1.5 credits
Description:
The purpose of the course is to examine the origins and the scope of the post neoliberal policies adopted in the Andean region, particularly in Bolivia, Ecuador and Venezuela. The post neoliberal policies surged as a reaction to the policies of free markets and globalization encapsulated in the Washington Consensus and in the structural adjustment recommendations of the international financial institutions. Opposition to the neoliberal model is the signpost of the post-neoliberal policies together with a rejection of political parties and other institutions of representative democracy. The neoliberal model is blamed for the increase in inequality and the worsening of poverty in the 1990s.
The boldness of the current anti-market policies in the Andean region, e.g. nationalizations, would not have been possible without the windfall income brought by the abnormally high international prices for hydrocarbons and metals. We will discuss the management of natural wealth in the new policy setting, the redistribution issues, the efforts to include indigenous peoples, and the fight against corruption.
