PSC 216 - Development and Social Change in Costa Rica (4 Cr.)

(SOA 216 )
This course examines the development path and processes of social change in Costa Rica, with an emphasis on the post-World War II paradigm that gave rise to the social-democratic structure of Costa Rican society. Drawing on the body of literature from Latin American theorists, students will explore notions of exceptionalism, myth-making and myth-breaking, conservation and the Green Republic, and the rise of ecotourism in Costa Rica. Prerequisite: 100-level course in social science. Spring semester.
