About this course

This is an Enduring Question course and is open to FRESHMEN only. You must take both HIST1733 and UNAS1740. How and why is political power created, obeyed, and resisted? The state is the dominant political institution, claiming dominion over every speck of habitable land on the planet. Seemingly omnipresent, the modern state is a relatively new development in human affairs. These paired courses examine methods of state-making and state-breaking through an interdisciplinary approach of political theory and Latin American history, asking: What is the state? Where, when, and for whom did it originate, outcompete other political forms, and appear inevitable, in Latin America and beyond? How does it promote or undermine justice? How might the relationship between state power and society shape understandings of the common good?
