RAMIRO FERNANDEZ, Víctor  and  ORMAECHEA, Emilia. From structuralism to neo-structuralism: Retrieving the Prebischian path of power. Perf. latinoam. [online]. 2021, vol.29, n.57, pp.1-27.  Epub Sep 06, 2021. ISSN 0188-7653.  https://doi.org/10.18504/pl2957-001-2021.

This paper analyzes how the shift from structuralism to neo-structuralism is characterized by a displacement of the role played by the relations of power in several analytical dimensions, namely: the historical formation of peripheral productive structures, the conflictual relations, the surplus, the role of industrialization as a development strategy, the state’s intervention, and the spatial dimension. Finally, the importance of recovering these dimensions is highlighted in order to update the Latin American development thought by promoting a dialogue between structuralism and neo-structuralism.

Keywords : ECLAC; development; Latin America; Prebisch; periphery; capitalism; conflict.
