Notes to start a (post)development agenda Learning from the impasse of the Latin American progressive cycle Juan Carlos Travela (Argentina)

Abstract

The XXI century found part of the Latin American region in a process of reversal of neoliberal policies that had caused different crises throughout the subcontinent.

The results were praiseworthy in many ways, however, over the years it was not possible to verify profound transformations in the matrix of international insertion of the region, inequality, or the deconcentration of political and economic power resulting from previous regimes.

The neoliberal turn in part of the region since 2015 reflects the need for rigorous analysis that channell the way and, in turn, allows facing the challenges of the new century, where in addition to democracy, equality and sovereignty, it is imminent to address the environmental unsustainability of current development models.

Based on a qualitative methodology, this work aims to analyze the limitations faced by Latin American governments and relate them to the contradictions that the international community points out regarding their development agendas.

Its results allow us to justify that communication legislation must be one of the first transformations to be made.
