Marginality and Ideology in Latin American Development
In: Studies in comparative international development, Band 5, Heft 11, S. 221-234
ISSN: 0039-3606
The fight in Latin America against poverty & underdevelopment has brought about 2 kinds of ideological reactions--an explicit response, guerilla warfare, & an implicit response, based on the "trickle down" theory. The guerilla warfare reaction derives from tension between the haves & have-nots, but has been basically unworkable because of joint efforts among the Latin American countries against guerilla incidents. The implicit response reaction derives from the theory that if growth is concentrated on in the central area, the peripheral areas will eventually also profit. The process of industrialization in Latin America, however, has promoted the formation of a few large centers of attraction which in turn exclude their respective hinterlands from development. Other solutions to the problem have been offered, especially centering around the common market concept, calling for interdependent efforts on the part of all Latin American countries. Actually, it is the disregarding of the basic aspect of the internal disintegration of the popular sectors, &, hence, their marginality, that explains the failure of well-meaning initiatives to bring about a democratic process of development. Since the marginality of the masses affects all aspects of individual & social life, it is only through a commitment by all its sectors acting as pressure groups, with the ruling elites providing guidelines for action & controlling the general coordination of development, that the nation-states can provide the basis for hemispheric integration. 2 Tables.
