Historical-structural approach and a new critique

Abstract

This paper aims, on the one hand, to review the ECLAC’s thought, focusing
on constitutive aspects of its way of thinking, and their implication to
formulation of narratives about the formation and development of Latin-
Americans economies; on the other hand, to argue that World-System
Perspective might contribute, from their epistemological critique, to a
critical review of explicative frameworks of Latin-American development.
