Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Although both North America as well as Central and South America were colonies of European powers the USA (and Canada) on the one hand and Latin America on the other hand developed in different ways after having gained independence at nearly the same time. Today the USA are the most powerful state on the earth and the global hegemon whereas Latin America is regarded as their "back yard". The seminar aims at explaining this bifurcation and to highlight its consequences. The relation between the impact of structure and alternativity as basics of human history will be in the foreground.
