Abstract

La estrategia de sustitución de importaciones que tantos adeptos ganó durante la década de los 50 y comienzos de los 60 ha caído en desgracia. Ella pretendía, en esencia, disminuir la dependencia de los países subdesarrollados con respecto a los desarrollados como reacción a la estructura de especialización colonialista y crear una industria nacional "naciente". La nueva "ortodoxia", auspiciada por los organismos internacionales, asocia todos los males típicos de los países de la periferia a tal estrategia, y aconseja, en cambio, lo que para ellos fue siempre obvio: un modelo en el cual las exportaciones juegan el papel motor del desarrollo, impulsando la demanda agregada en la economía, y generando las divisas necesarias para pagar importaciones y deuda externa contraída. Como ejemplos de lo que puede obtenerse con la estrategia exportadora se cita el caso de Taiwan, Singapur, Corea y Hong Kong, y en menor medida, el de algunos países latinoamericanos como Brasil y Colombia. Estos países han logrado, en efecto, impulsar las exportaciones en forma no imaginada quince anos atrás; y lo que es más significativo aún, las exportaciones de ciertos bienes intensivos en capital, con un nivel de sofisticación tecnológica bastante elevados, cuya producción y exportación se suponía reservada únicamente a los países del centro. El presente trabajo pretende caracterizar el desarrollo de las exportaciones a nivel mundial, estudiar los factores que explican su dinamismo, y encontrar cuáles de éstos han sido específicos al caso colombiano. Además, analiza las ventajas y desventajas de una estrategia orientada hacia el mercado internacional.
