Course Description:
The “Paris of South America”, dynamic,
cosmopolitan and culturally vibrant, Buenos
Aires is a fascinating setting for studying the
political economy of Argentina. A large,
potentially wealthy country, Argentina has never
lived up to its economic promise. We attempt
to understand why by meeting local experts,
taking field trips, and making site visits to
businesses and financial institutions. There will
be excursions outside Buenos Aires, and an
opportunity to explore the city’s many
cultural treasures.
