Nicaragua: Democracy in the Age of Globalization

This course is centered around a eight-day excursion to study the history and politics of Nicaragua.

Participants will visit and stay in Managua and the rural countryside, talking with people from all walks of life, and learning much about Nicaraguan history, culture, politics, and economics. Highlights include meetings with political leaders and cultural figures, investigating alternative economic development projects, visiting major landmarks in Managua, exploring an active volcano, and spending time at an active coffee-growing cooperative. Plans include visits to the cities of Granada and Matagalpa.

Themes of the course include the political and economic histories of Nicaragua, an investigation of the Nicaraguan political system, U.S. foreign policy in the region, free trade and fair trade, and poverty and democracy.
