Between 1840 and 1910 Latin American political and economic models were closer to Colombians than previously thought

Abstract

In his doctoral thesis in History, Professor Jairo Campuzano Hoyos shows how some Colombians looked for models of material and intellectual progress in Latin American countries such as Mexico, Argentina and Chile, in the second half of the 19th century. Hence, the country has not been as isolated from the American environment as has traditionally been suggested.
