Raúl Prebisch and the challenges of development of the XXI century

With its project on "Raúl Prebisch and the challenges of the twenty-first century", ECLAC is seeking to situate the ideas of Raúl Prebisch and the first stage of structuralist thinking at the centre of the current debate over the development of Latin America and the Caribbean.

Prebisch embodied the ambition to build a region that was politically strong and integrated, economically and socially developed and egalitarian, and internationally open and dynamic. He understood that progress on any one of these fronts could be achieved only through progress on all fronts. ECLAC believes that these contributions, considered critically, retain their relevance for research, policy formulation and teaching about development problems. For that reason we invite all interested parties to join us on a visit to the principal school of economic thought in the region, as a way of enriching the current debate over the present and future development of Latin America and the Caribbean.
