The course focuses on Latin America as a region from a specific perspective of security and conflict studies. A region which on the one hand reverberates in academic, political and public debates due to specific issues and challenges (coups, insurgencies, terrorism, environmental risks), while on the other hand remains relatively distant from the European perspective, Latin America represents a special case worth studying and dissecting. For this purpose, the course first establishes the historical and conceptual boundaries of the region, including the formative period of Cold War. Subsequently, key thematic issues, with relevance across the region, are analysed: interstate wars, autocracy, civil wars and insurgencies, production of and trade with illegal drugs and influence of external state actors. In the final part, the course focuses on four selected countries in which the aforementioned issues are demonstrated, typically in a mutually overlapping manner.
