GRIGERA, Juan. Las nociones de Estado y acumulación en el estructuralismo y el neoestructuralismo latinoamericanos: elementos para una crítica. Ciclos hist. econ. soc. [online]. 2014, vol.22, n.43, pp.00-00. ISSN 1851-3735.

Abstract The current context of crisis in neoliberal thought and policies calls for a revision of theoretical basis of the different schools of economic thought that present themselves as alternatives. In this competition for the hearts and minds of economists in Latin America, the structuralist and neo-structuralist tradition are particularly relevant. Thus, the first section of this paper summarises structuralist proposals, identifying their main contributions and contextualizing the criticism that followed. The second section establishes that ECLAC's structuralism is underpinned by an (implicit) instrumentalist conception of the state. The third section compares neo-structuralism to structuralism, arguing that they put forward a similar concept of a 'strong state,' which reinforces rather than criticizes the neoliberal view. The fourth section deals with the assessment of the structuralists' (more explicit) theorising of capital accumulation, which can be traced to the school's model of development.
