Modernización, Dependencia y sistema-mundo: los paradigmas del desarrollo latinoamericano y los desafíos del siglo XXI

During the second half of the 20th century, the concern for and the interest on the development issues of Latin America generated the greatest theoretical-methodological wealth focused on the political, economical and social reality of this region, in what the author considers a "golden age" of Latin American social thought. In this sense, the present article analyses the four greatest theoretical perspectives which, during this period -and even nowadays-, have contributed to the construction of the Latin American social thought and, as a result, a shaping of a conscioussness of its domestic and external problems, as well as of the region's theoretical and methodological strengths and weaknesses with regard to the rest of the world. In this way, the author goes deep in the folowing theoretical-methodological approaches: 1)Theory of Modernization; 2)CEPAL's thought and "desarrollismo"; 3)Theory of Dependence and Underdevelopment, and 4)Theory of System-World. Therefore, this article represents an effort to rpove the relevance of these paradigms of the Latin American critical thought of our days.
