Trade unions in the “South” in the era of globalization
This article examines the effects of globalization on the trade union movement in developing countries (the “South”). It concludes, first, that globalization has been asymmetrical: much further-reaching for trade in goods than for capital flows, weak for technology transfer and very limited in migratory flows. Second, it examines the role and economic repercussions of labour unions. It finds that, contrary to the orthodox view, these have little …

A development strategy founded on natural resource-based production clusters
This article contends that the rapid development of Latin America and the Caribbean - a region rich in natural resources- will depend on how fast it learns to industrialize and process its natural resources and to develop the necessary suppliers of inputs, engineering services and equipment for this. Consequently, this will not be a form of development based on the mere extraction of natural resources, as at present, but rather one based on the p…
Neo-liberal structural reforms in Latin America: The current situation
Latín America is currently undergoing a strategic turnaround with far-reaching implications: from an inward-oriented form of development with heavy State intervention in production and the system of prices, to an outward-oriented development strategy in the context of a free market, with the private sector playing the leading role. This study analyses the seven main reforms associated with this neo-liberal strategy

Poverty and Inequality in Latin America: A Neostructural Perspective
Two facts stand out from even the most cursory inspection of income distribution data in Latin America. First, income is highly concentrated, making the region one of the most unequal in the world. Second, despite the fact that the region has now reached an intermediate position among the world's nations in terms of per capita income (some US$2,000 per year on average), a level which, by historical standards, would presuppose a more equitable dis…
Can growth and equity go hand in hand
This article presents the issue in the context of the theoretical and empirical debate, started by Kuznets, on the possibility of achieving growth with equity. The conclusion is that there is no inevitable conflict between these two goals, provided that economic policy promotes the areas of complementarity between growth and equity. It therefore rejects the approaches which assume that there is an insoluble conflict between these objectives, such…
Growth, crises and strategic turnarounds
The import-substitution strategy was entirely justified in the 1930s and continued to make sense until the late 1950s, so long as export opportunities were being dampened by the Great Depression, the Second World War and the reconstruction of Europe. From the 1960s on, however, it afforded diminishing returns as international trade burgeoned. During the 1980s, the macroeconomic instability caused by the debt crisis compounded the problems associa…
Neoconservative Economics in the Southern Cone of Latin America, 1973-1983
Neo-Keynesian macroeconomics as seen from the South
The central problem in macroeconomics is to determine to what extent variations in aggregate demand will fall exclusively on prices, or whether they will also have an impact on output. The Phillips curve was one answer to this question, but when this attempt at synthesis failed, the issue was reopened
Neoconservative Economics in the Southern Cone of Latin America, 1973-1983
Planning and the market during the next ten years in Latin America
The issue of the relationship between planning and the market has given rise to fruitless theoretical contention over the relative merits of central planning versus a laissez-faire market. At the practical level, this disagreement has manifested itself in sharp swings in policy, which at times have favoured State intervention while mistrusting private enterprise, and at other times have curtailed State action on the grounds that it is inherently …
Stabilization and adjustment policies in the southern cone, 1974-1983
Two economic problems contributed to the political upheavals which gave rise to the neo-conservative experiences in Argentina, Chile and Uruguay: galloping inflation and disequilibria in their external accounts
Urbanization and the labour market
In the postwar period, as is known, Latin America underwent a process of demographic growth and urbanization unprecedented in its history
