TEACHING (Since 2004)

Comparative Politics (undergraduate lecture course) Introduction to the main concepts and theories in the subfield of comparative politics.

Latin American Politics (undergraduate lecture course) This course examines the major political and economic changes from the early twentieth century up to the present in Latin America, with the goal of achieving an understanding of contemporary politics in the region.


20

Transitions to Democracy (undergraduate seminar) This course introduces students to an in-depth analysis of the definitions and theories of democracy and democratization in political science and compares historic and recent regime transitions in different regions of the world.

Comparative Politics of Federalism and Decentralization (graduate and undergraduate seminar) This seminar presents the advantages and disadvantages of constitutional and fiscal federal arrangements and the causes, characteristics, and consequences of the recent trend toward decentralization in the largest federations of the world.

Democracy, Decentralization, and Participation in Latin America (graduate and undergraduate seminar) This course focuses on the decentralization of government in Latin America and its relationship to democratization and participation. Particular emphasis is placed on the role of subnational actors and their corporative organizations and associations.

Democracy in Latin America (undergraduate seminar) This course focuses on the political economy and political changes taking place in the region since the inception of the twenty first century, in particular as they relate to citizenship, constitutionalism, and democratic representation.

Democratization (graduate seminar) This course surveys the most influential and the recent works and debates on democratization in the subfield of comparative politics.

Social Capital and Trust Networks (graduate seminar) This seminar surveys the conceptual and operational definitions and applications of the concepts of social capital and trust in the recent literature of political science, in particular as they relate to processes of cooperation, political participation, and democratization.

Indigenous Politics in The Americas (graduate course). This seminar compares the evolution of relationships between states and indigenous peoples and movements throughout the Americas--and especially in Canada, the US, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina. We focus on these states’ articulation of indigenous demands regarding plurinationality, autonomy, territoriality, prior consultation, living well, and intercultural education.
