The World That Latin America Created – The United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America in the Development Era<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A lecture by Dr. Margarita Fajardo, Professor of History, Sarah Lawrence College<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the Second World War demolished the old order, a group of economists and policymakers from across Latin America imagined a new global economy and launched an intellectual movement that would eventually capture the world. They charged that the systems of trade and finance that bound the world\u2019s nations together were frustrating the economic prospects of Latin America and other regions of the world. Through the UN Economic Commission for Latin America, or CEPAL, the Spanish and Portuguese acronym, cepalinos<\/em> challenged the orthodoxies of development theory and policy. Simultaneously, they demanded more not less trade, more not less aid, and offered a development agenda to transform both the developed and the developing world. Eventually, cepalinos<\/em> established their own form of hegemony, outpacing the United States and the International Monetary Fund as the agenda setters for a region traditionally held under the orbit of Washington and its institutions. By doing so, cepalinos<\/em> reshaped both regional and international governance and set an intellectual agenda that still resonates today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drawing on unexplored sources from the Americas and Europe, Margarita Fajardo<\/strong> retells the history of dependency theory, revealing the diversity of an often-oversimplified movement and the fraught relationship between cepalinos<\/em>, their dependentista<\/em> critics, and the regional and global Left. By examining the political ventures of dependentistas<\/em> and cepalinos<\/em>, The World That Latin America Created<\/em> is a story of ideas that brought about real change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
