A hipótese é que as condições históricas de criação da CEPAL abriram a possibilidade de especificidades muito relevantes ao debate sobre desenvolvimento econômico nos anos 1950 na América Latina, e na Europa e América do Norte. A CEPAL tem contribuições inscritas como heterodoxas no âmbito das teorias de desenvolvimento, engendrando uma característica de Escola de Pensamento que está ausente nas demais comissões.

In 2000’s, practices of International Cooperation and Development (ICD) gained emphasis through organized experience sharing between developing country governments and international organizations. Brazil deepened its partnerships with others Southern countries, a practice that came to be known as South-South Cooperation (SSC). However, following the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff in 2016, the incoming administration introduced government spending limits in the form of a Constitutional Amendment (95/2016) which structurally decreased resources available for SSC and consequently limited possibilities to continue deepening international involvement. This article analyzes the first effects of the new fiscal regime for SSC using a bibliographic review and a case study of the Social Protection.Org platform which is managed by the International Policy Centre...

E argumentado que a ideia de intervencao Estatal sistematica precede a proposicao politica de Keynes, porque ela surge das condicoes historicas do fim do laissez-faire na virada para o seculo XX, e que a politica fiscal estrutural de manutencao de certo nivel da demanda efetiva e um tipo de planejamento que difere do planejamento economico na sociedade socialista.

An analysis from a lower level of abstraction, as proposed by the Marxist theory of dependency and Jaime Osorio’s work on the pattern of capital reproduction, must consider the differentiated incorporation of the periphery into financialized capitalism and its effects. A proposal that encompasses the cycles of capital and its reproduction in specific geo-historical contexts and establishes a dialogue between the pattern of capital reproduction and the changes in contemporary capitalism serves to extend Osorio’s ideas, including the identification of financialization as a new coil of the spiral of dependency. A financeirização é o resultado do desenvolvimento das forças sociais e das relações de pro...

It departs from the interpretation that separates the ECLAC thought from its formal structure within the geopolitical order of the United Nations. This interpretation defends that, since 1948, the original lines of the United Nations constraint the aims of ECLAC. This creates difficulties for solving the problems of social and economic development of Latin America, which makes explicit that there is a contradiction between ECLAC as an independent generator of ideas and ECLAC as a part of the United Nations structure assuring the stability in the post-Second World War. The tensions between Prebisch and Furtado were in part the result of political changes in Cuba from 1959 onwards, which reinforces the above interpretation about ECLAC. Keywords:

No Brasil, após os anos 2000, o destaque da política social despertou o interesse dos gestores internacionais e a parceria entre a ONU e o país na implementação de estratégias similares em outros países cresceu exponencialmente, evidênciando a Cooperação Sul-Sul (CSS), onde as experiências de sucesso em determinado país do Sul servem como exemplo para os demais. Entretanto, a crise política e econômica atual trará efeitos para a cooperação internacional e, por isso, pretende-se investigar a motivação, o papel da CSS brasileira na última década e quais serão os prováveis efeitos da atual crise, através da revisão bibliográfica e dos dados disponíveis.

Esta tese é sustentada na concepção marxista e está presente nos trabalhos de Arrighi (1995), Marini (2000), Santos (2004) e Bambirra (2015), dentre outros autores. Os dados de base são os do desempenho das economias nacionais. Há uma problematização dessa tese no período mais recente pós-crise de 2008, pois existem trabalhos que sustentam que há mudança estrutural em favor das economias em desenvolvimento. Os elementos teóricos sistematizados no artigo corroboram a tese de que o sistema segue desigual, embora com mudanças na margem. Para mostrar isso com novos elementos, há uma segunda parte em que os dados sociais relacionados à Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional (SAN) são sistematizados para a região da América do Sul em comparação aos BRICS. Constata-se progresso social, porém os indicadores mostram uma situação ainda muito distante da realidade das economias desenvolvidas. O método util...

La investigación parte de una lectura que separa el pensamiento cepalino de la estructura formal de la CEPAL encuadrada en el orden geopolítico de las Naciones Unidas. Esta lectura argumenta que, desde 1948, las estructuras originales del órgano delimitan las funciones objetivo de la comisión de acuerdo con la meta de mantener la estabilidad internacional. Esto hace que la CEPAL tenga, desde su origen, grandes dificultades para solucionar los problemas de desarrollo económico y social del continente, explicitando su contradicción de ser, al mismo tiempo, un generador de ideas económicas y un órgano subordinado a la estructura amplia de estabilidad del periodo posterior a la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Las tensiones entre Prebisch y Furtado fueron en buena medida resultado de los acontecimientos políticos en Cuba a partir de 1959, lo que refuerza la tesis contenida en esta lectura específica...

In his analysis, superexploitation is constituted as a category showing the structural conditions of capitalism in Latin America, which tend to reproduce. In his most important work—Dialectics of Dependence (1973 [2000])—Marini shows that this very specific Latin American capitalism is deformed as compared to that observed in advanced countries. In this case, superexploitation does not impair the reproduction of labor power, but it limits the dynamics of accumulation through the extraordinary concentration of income and wealth. Considering that the political stance of Marini is clearly revolutionary, the proposals are valid only as an exegesis of his thought, and are not presented as a result of its theoretical propositions. The idea is to associate superexploitation and concentration of weal...

It identifies two phenomena based on growth dynamics analysis. The first is the increase in the average growth rate from 2004 to 2010 compared to the average growth observed in the previous 20 years (1983–2003), a period characterized by greater social inclusion. The second is the fact that the weight of domestic activity was a crucial determinant of the growth rates observed during the 2004 to 2010 period.

The hypothesis is that in these economies the role of the State is comparatively broader than in the economies of the centers of the capitalism by structural reasons. The argument is mainly based on Marx and Kalecki, besides historical elements of Latin America economies, particularly the Brazilian economy. Then the paper explores the dynamics consequences of this nature at the national levels, concluding that this condition gives a higher degree of instability.

There are particular characteristics of certain countries, both as regards their productive apparatus and as regards the nature and activities of the State. The hypothesis does not contradict the existence of significant common structural factors. Then there is a theoretical discussion of the concept of capital reproduction. It focuses on data from selected economies dealing with the insertion of Latin America into the international division of labor and highlighting internal differences between national economies in the region. Finally, there is a discussion on the aspects of the Brazilian economy and the presentation of some conclusions.
