Course/Module description:
The course examines the relationship between Britain and Latin America in general and specific countries in particular, in the 19th and 20th centuries. It focuses on diplomacy, economy and trade, society and culture. It examines several emblematic cases such as the British involvement in Latin America's wars of independence; the conflict surrounding the establishment of Venezuela's border; the Malvina's War; and the arrest of Augusto Pinochet in London. Several "big questions" are at the core of this course: the difference between formal and informal imperia; and the British "abandonment" of Latin America.
