In 1996, ECLAC presented the document Changing production patterns with social equity: the prime task of Latin American and Caribbean development in the 1990s, in which it proposed a common task for all the countries: the transformation of the productive structures of the region in a context of progressively greater social equity.
The proposed solutions included combining strategies for economic growth, distributive equity and competitive integration with the international economy by incorporating technological progress into the production structure, in a context of commercial and financial globalization that was gaining ground.
In 1994, the Commission presented the document Open Regionalism in Latin America and the Caribbean: economic integration as a contribution to changing production patterns with social equity, which links the process of international positioning and the necessary deepening of regional integration.
This new concept of development aimed to create the conditions for curbing environmental degradation and improving the quality of life of the entire population.
