Abstract

As the new century begins, LA seems to be approaching yet another historical crossroads, where a new development strategy could be evolving. Far from a nostalgic return to past models, the strategy that today defines the region seems original, in at least three important dimensions: its new contents, the international geometry over which it is projected and, in particular, the complexity of the historical inheritance from which it develops. Social policy has acquired a renewed importance, integrated together with economic policy, in a way that may become similar to what UNRISD has summarized as socially inclusive, economically developmental, and democratic. The geopolitical dimension of the new strategy seems to be a wider, integrated, multinational LA region.
