Integración política y desarrollo económico en la plataforma iberoamericana

Abstract

Since the 1950s, in the context of the Cold War, Ibero-America is classified as “Third World” for the other two blocks in conflict, the capitalist bloc led by the United States and the communist bloc led by the Soviet Union. Since then, from various paradigms has tried to reverse this international classification by applying specific policy development in each country from competing ideologies. In parallel, the continent has sought to conform integration processes between their nations with uneven success. Our research hypothesis raises the need to know and analyze the elements that have made up the ideas (and policies) of development and Ibero-American integration from a “materialist conception of political life”, visibilizing the interrelation and the strategic hierarchy of both processes in the Ibero-American context and to identify where are the specific elements of integration-disintegration and which and who are the principal social subjects.
