Give analytical tools that enable the students to understand the main social and economic challenges in Latin America. This will be based on the analysis of the logics of the different actors at local, national and interna-tional level and on readings over a long time period.
Based on a review of the academic literature of the problematic, as it has been developed in the last twenty years by social and economic science in America, the following theme will be analysed:
1) The evolution of the development model and the social and economic challenges. The main transforma-tions in the last twenty years.
2) Social movements and socio-cultural dynamics in the globalisation era.
3) Social identities, migration and gender relations.
