A number of writers have pointed to the importance of recovering aspects of dependency theory to explain the persistence of Latin American underdevelopment after 40 years of neoliberal hegemony and profound change and crisis in the world economy. Just as dependency theory emerged in the 1960s in response to attempts to achieve development in Latin America through neodevelopmentalist projects, its reappearance represents a challenge to the development model and a theoretical and political necessity. In light of the resurgence of neodevelopmentalism and prospects for progress and economic development led by the state through economic growth with social inclusion, dependency theory allows the evaluation of the potentialities, tensions, and limitations of this type of project. Diversos autores han señalado la importancia de recuperar aspectos de los análisis de la teoría de la dependencia para poder explicar la persistencia del subdesarrollo latinoamericano luego de 40 años de hegemonía neoliberal y de fuertes transformaciones y crisis de la economía mundial. Así como en los años '60 la teoría de la dependencia surgió como una objeción a los intentos desarrollistas de alcanzar el desarrollo en Latinoamérica, con proyectos neodesarrollistas el resurgimiento de los enfoques dependentistas representa a la vez una impugnación al modelo de desarrollo y una necesidad teórica y política. Frente al surgimiento del neodesarrollismo y de perspectivas de progreso y de desarrollo económico dirigido desde el estado a través del crecimiento económico con inclusión social, la teoría de la dependencia permite evaluar las potencialidades, tensiones y limitaciones de este tipo de proyecto
