Desarrollo y adopción de tecnología: ¿la nueva dicotomía de la división internacional del trabajo?

Abstract

La doctrina estructuralista del pensamiento económico siempre ha ponderado el problema de la especialización de los diversos países en la división internacional del trabajo como un obstáculo al desarrollo económico de los países periféricos. El objetivo de este artículo es retomar dicho problema, pero reestructurarlo sobre la dicotomía desarrollo/adopción de tecnología. En la actualidad, los países desarrollados se han especializado en la provisión de tecnología a nivel internacional, mientras que la industrialización tecnológicamente dependiente de los países en desarrollo genera que estos persistan con términos de intercambios desfavorables (debido el carácter concentrado de la oferta tecnológica a nivel internacional), lo que afecta sus posibilidades de desarrollo. The structuralist doctrine of economic thought has always contemplated the problem of how countries specialise in terms of the international division of labour as an obstacle that hinders periphery countries’ economic development. The purpose of this paper is to rethink the problem posed by classical structuralism, restructuring it based on the development vs. adoption of technology dichotomy. Recently, developed countries have become international specialists in technology provision, while the technologically dependent industrialization of developing countries has generated unfavourable terms of trade (due to the concentrated nature of the technology available on an international level), which affects their development prospects.
