Abstract

The aim of this article is to analyze ECLAC’s developmental project in its three different phases, focusing on its premises about the State’s role and its consequences on public policies. Based on the historical materialism, theoretical research has sought to retrace the political-intellectual path of ECLAC since its creation in the post-war until the reduction of its influence in the 1980s with the neoliberalist ascension in Latin America. Through a documental analysis, change and permanence of theoretical fundamentals is highlighted, managing its proposals, mainly after 1980, when ECLAC adopts a theoretical methodological change to the neostructuralism. Finally, it discusses the conceptual displacement from equity to equality as an essential operational axis of ECLAC’s current strategy.
