We will ask: "how do arrangements of tasks, rewards, roles, and opportunities in schools affect student learning, behavior, and sense of attachment?" and "in what ways are social control processes in schools related to the demands and dynamics of other institutions, particularly the family and the labor market?" before addressing these questions, we will define social organization and social control, and describe the forms (both intended and unintended) they take in schools.

Latin American development will be analyzed as a historical process that is driven by intertwined internal socio-economic factors and constraint by the world economy. The inclusion of these countries in the world economy since the colonial times fostered the formation of outward oriented economies based on primary export commodities. After a short period of inward-oriented development, the new global order fostered a reorientation of the national economies towards global markets. The new developmental model led to downsizing of the state, and the reconfiguration of social structures. The course will focus on the analysis of the economic developmental patterns starting in the middle of the 19th century. Finally, in the second half of the semester, we will analyze in depth the contemporary neoliberal approach to development. Globalization is the force that drives economic, social and political processes in Latin America. The course will include case studies as well the social conflicts generated by the increasing polarization of the society. Cross-listed with Program in Latin American Studies
