El desarrollo de América Latina y el Caribe sigue siendo una tarea inconclusa. Si bien en materia macroeconómica se lograron avances que contribuyeron a enfrentar de mejor manera la reciente crisis, esta ha dejado al descubierto viejas y nuevas restricciones estructurales a los países de la región, que se reflejan en la persistencia de importantes brechas sociales, productivas, fiscales y ambientales. Cerrar estas brechas constituye una exigencia para el bienestar de las generaciones futuras y una condición de viabilidad para un desarrollo en que se combinen crecimiento económico, equidad y sostenibilidad. De allí surge una reflexión más allá de lo puramente económico sobre la necesidad de que el Estado vuelva a desempeñar un papel relevante en las estrategias del desarrollo, de modo que l

The development of Latin America and the Caribbean is still a work in progress. Although there have been macroeconomic improvements,allowing the region to confront the recent crisis on a better footing, this crisis has exposed old and new structural constraints faced by the countries of the region, which are reflected in the persistence of large social, economic, fiscal and environmental gaps. These gaps need to be closed for the sake of future generations and as a precondition for viable development that combines economic growth with equality and sustainability. This suggests that there are more than just economic reasons for the State to play, once again, a major role in development strategies, so that public policies take the lead in building the future. The main purpose of the present article is to make this argument. (CEPAL Rev/GIGA)

This document, presented by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) to its member States at its thirty-sixth session, provides an analytical complement to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development from a structuralist perspective and from the point of view of the Latin American and Caribbean countries. The proposals made here stem from the need to achieve progressive structural change in order to incorporate more knowledge into production, ensure social inclusion and combat the negative impacts of climate change. The reflections and proposals for advancing towards a new development pattern are geared to achieving equality and environmental sustainability. In these proposals, the creation of global and regional public goods and the corresponding domestic policies form the core for expanding the structuralist tradition towards a global Keynesianism and a development strategy centred around an environmental big push

"The document, What kind of State? What kind of equality? analyses the progress of gender equality in the region 15 years after the approval of the Beijing Platform for Action, 10 years after the drafting of the Millennium Development Goals and 3 years after the adoption of the Quito Consensus at the tenth session of the Regional Conference on Women in Latin America and the Caribbean, held in 2007. It also examines the achievements made and challenges faced by governments in light of the interaction between the State, the market and families as social institutions built on the foundation of policies, laws, and customs and habits which, together, establish the conditions for renewing or perpetuating gender and social hierarchies."--Foreword of English language version
