La Integración del Pensamiento Latinoamericano en la Segunda Mitad del Siglo XX: Entre la Institucionalización y la Emergencia

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the integration processes of Latin American political and social thought in the second half of the 20th century. The purpose of this recapitulation is to investigate the ways in which the institutionalization of the Latin American social sciences occurred, and what were its positive and negative aspects, with the horizon of an autonomous exercise of research and reflection in the region. In this sense, the contexts of institutionalization and emergency in which this integration was carried out during the indicated period are problematized. With this objective, the work places the focus of attention in three contexts: 1) immediately after the Second World War; 2) the sixties in Chile; and 3) the seventies in Mexico. Finally, as conclusion, the article makes some brief comments about the eighties and nineties and about the current situation of the phenomenon.
