Spanish/Spanish American Studies focuses on contemporary economic development in Spain and Spanish America, and explores how these two regions are performing in terms of international and regional competitiveness, as well as the changing role of the private sector. Module One addresses Spain’s contemporary economic development and international competitiveness. Key topics include: SMEs, e-business, I+D and technological development, and key sectors such as tourism. Module Two addresses Latin America’s contemporary economic development and international competitiveness, with specific topics including: the role of multinationals, industrial clusters, SMEs and family businesses, and the role of business as an increasingly important political force in the region. We will also look at the implications of human development for economic development in both regions.Emphasis in the language classes will be on improving students’ grammar, communicative competence and fluency in Spanish in preparation for their fourth semester abroad. |
