Lateinamerika

Latin America is one of the most diverse and fascinating regions in the world. It is not only characterised by a wealth of biodiversity, natural resources and cultural diversity, but also by extreme inequality, crime, violence and crisis-ridden democratic systems.
In its fourth, completely updated edition, this textbook offers a compact introduction to social and political structures, actors and processes in Latin America. It is aimed at all those who want to gain an overview of important historical developments in Latin America and who are also interested in the current state of the region’s political systems. The book also addresses foreign policy and Latin America’s role in world politics.
