What has been the cause of ongoing border disputes in Latin America?

Geography and poor cartography made it difficult to settle some boundary disputes. British decolonization in mainland Latin America is a persistent source of territorial disputes. Inter-American peacekeeping institutions have been very effective, yet they also generate moral hazard.

What are three main cultures that combine to form the collective culture of Latin America?

What is dependency theory and the Latin American experience?

Dependency theory argues that under-development as experienced in Latin America and elsewhere is the direct result of capital intervention, rather than a condition of “lacking” development or investment.

How were the cultures of Latin America blended together?

Due to hard work and disease, much of the native population died. Because of this, the Europeans brought over Africans to work as slaves. Mixing of the races also began leading to the creation of mestizos (European and native mix), mulattos (European and African mix), and criollos (Europeans born in Latin America).

What do you do in a boundary dispute?

If you know where the boundary is and you don’t need to follow the process for party walls, the best approach is to talk to your neighbour. Talk to them face to face if you can – make a note of what you agreed. If you don’t feel comfortable speaking to them, write to them or ask someone to contact them for you.

What is the main argument of dependency theory?
