BEIGEL, Fernanda. The Chilean Flacso an the Regionalization of Social Sciences in Latin America (1957-1973). Rev. Mex. Sociol [online]. 2009, vol.71, n.2, pp.319-349. ISSN 2594-0651.

This article examines the establishment of the Latin American Social Science Faculty (Flacso) as the result of a strategy of institutionalization that linked the interests of various agents possessing various kinds of material and symbolic capital: a) a set of Latin American academics, b) the University of Chile, and the government of that country and c) UNESCO. The article shows that the Chilean stage of Flacso constituted an exceptional case of academic development in the region, framed by a favorable period for Latinamericanism in UNESCO accompanied by a sort of "statization" on the part of Chile that directly affected the way it developed.

Palavras-chave : Flacso; Chile; social sciences; regional academic circuit.
