DESCRIPTION
After approximately 25 years of neoliberal domination, critical ideas are beginning to appear in force in main stream literature again. Some of these ideas are new and some are old, some are from the U.S. and Europe and some are from elsewhere such as Latin America. The purpose of this course is cross-disciplinary and strives to understand the structure, form and arguments of some contemporary and critical ideas,the paradigms they represent, and how they relate to the present world order and in some cases,how they envision its fall.The question of justice within social,economic and political spheres in the international system are at the center of these arguments, but these spheres are not insulated from other spheres such as history, identity and pedagogy especially when seen from the localty of Latin America.
