Limitações dependentes do desenvolvimentismo brasileiro no século XXI

Abstract

So-called new developmentalism emerged on the Brazilian political horizon in the early 2000s. Its authors claim direct ancestry in the developmental theory of the early years of ECLAC, which was responsible for important political economy debates in Latin American thought. One theory that at the time clashed with developmentalism is Marxist Dependency Theory. This text aims to present and critique the arguments put forward by new developmentalism. To this end, it primarily utilizes the Marxist perspective in general and the dependency theory in particular. Assuming that contemporary developmentalism makes inaccuracies regarding the very historical development processes to which it refers, this article seeks to present development both as an economic and political movement and also in its evolution as an object of thought.
