Structuralism – Latin American

Rugitsky, Fernando

Abstract

In the decade following the end of the Second World War, one of the most active fields of research in economics was development (Hirschman, 1981, Arndt, 1987, Krugman, 1993). Several researchers dedicated their work to understanding the reasons why so many countries remained underdeveloped, at the periphery of the world economy, and how this situation could be overcome. They would later be called the “pioneers in development” (Meier and Seers, 1984). An important part of this collective research effort was undertaken by Latin American economists working at the United Nations’ Economic Commission for Latin American and the Caribbean (ECLAC), who were led by Raúl Prebisch. This particular strand of early development thinking is referred to as Latin American structuralism.
