Abstract

The present paper seeks to analyze the changes that occurred in the thinking of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean that justified the name of a neo-structuralist theory after the 1990s. The ECLAC structuralist ideology was being adapted over time culminating in the neostructuralist propositions, considered as the new paradigm of the institution until today. Thus, we seek to understand what changes have been made in the ECLAC´s development project in the last two decades, as well as to analyze whether the heterodoxy present in the original studies still prevails today in the work of the commission.
