El pensamiento cepalino: estructuralismo y regulación del desarrollo

Abstract

This article tries to present the classical CEPAL economic thought, concerning development, in the light of the theoretical ideas of the French Regulation School. It attempts to show how the original CEPAL thesis about latin american undervelopment implicity (and partially) takes us back to the capitalist development problem, analyzed in terms of the accumulation regime and type of regulation and the changes that took place after the 1929 crisis. The approaching of the two heterodox theories will alIow us to obtain certain results about the scope and limits of structuralist thought in relationship with new lines of thought that also try lo take into account the development problem.
