MA Business Management and Legal Studies at ABDN: Fees Dates & Requirements

This MSc from the University College London (UCL) examines the theoretical issues raised by globalisation and the variant ways in which different Latin American societies have reacted to it. The Globalisation and Latin American Development programme studies the degree to which contemporary indices of globalisation are continuous with earlier forms of Latin AmericaÕs global incorporation, and focuses on the ways in which the regionÕs development is bound up with global processes.

Students will gain a broad understanding of ÔhyperglobalistÕ, ÔscepticÕ and ÔtransformationalistÕ notions of globalisation, and of key contributions to current debates surrounding globalisation and Latin American development. They will be able to explain and provide specific national examples of the ways (economic, political, social, cultural and environmental) in which Latin American development articulates with global processes.
