CAN STRUCTURAL DYNAMICS HELP THE STUDY OF DEVELOPMENT?
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
ABSTRACT
Although widely known Pasinetti’s structural dynamics is largely ignored in the study of development. It might be instead of great relevance especially today that development economics has all but disappeared and that the periphery has dramatically changed. The paper first clarifies that the obstacle is the partial understanding of Pasinetti’s theoretical project. In particular, it should be appreciated that structural dynamics gives clear non-mainstream foundations to the analysis of structural change and allows for the study of development as part of the second stage of the investigation. Most important, given the open-ended analytical structure and its focus on production, it can give a new perspective to the internationalization of production as the key aspect of an updated centre-periphery approach. Much research on the participation into Global Value Chains (GVCs) can become more understandable and valuable within a clear theoretical framework.
¿PUEDE LA DINÁMICA ESTRUCTURAL SER ÚTIL EN EL ESTUDIO DEL DESARROLLO?
RESUMEN
Aunque la teoría de la dinámica estructural de Pasinetti es ampliamente conocida, se ignora en gran medida en los estudios sobre desarrollo. Podría ser de gran relevancia, sobre todo hoy en día que la economía del desarrollo ha desaparecido casi por completo y que la periferia ha experimentado una transformación radical. El artículo aclara que el obstáculo reside en una comprensión parcial del proyecto teórico de Pasinetti. La dinámica estructural proporciona fundamentos no convencionales para el análisis del cambio estructural y permite estudiar el desarrollo como parte de la segunda fase de la investigación. Gracias a su marco analítico abierto y su enfoque en la producción, ofrece una nueva perspectiva sobre la internacionalización de la producción como un aspecto clave de un enfoque actualizado de centro-periferia. Gran parte de la investigación sobre la participación en cadenas de valor globales (CVG) puede resultar más comprensible y útil dentro de un claro marco teórico.
