Las contribuciones del estructuralismo crítico al debate del desarrollo latinoamericano
Authors: Ormaechea Emilia
Published: March 2024

El trabajo analiza la etapa de producción “crítica” del estructuralismo latinoamericano, situada entre mediados de los años cincuenta y fines de la década del setenta del siglo pasado. Se argumenta que estas contribuciones complementaron el enfoque propuesto por la CEPAL para el estudio del capitalismo periférico, al pasar de una perspectiva en suma optimista y normativa, a otra que destacaba los conflictos de intereses y las relaciones de poder que se configuraban en la periferia y que actuaban limitando las estrategias de desarrollo. Para dar cuenta de ello, se identifican cuatro dimensiones de análisis que revalorizan la dimensión social y política y reflexionan desde un plano crítico sobre las posibilidades de desarrollo de América Latina, a saber: la heterogeneidad estructural, las viejas y nuevas formas de dependencia, las formas de intervención del Estado, y el debate de los estilos de desarrollo.

We believe we have a story that will inspire new ways of approaching international development. During the past five years, the Innovation Lab (I-Lab), born out of the Division of Competiveness and Innovation (CTI) at the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), has been promoting innovative solutions that have developed directly with and for the excluded communities, people, who find themselves outside of markets and who are often marginalized. The I-Lab has co-financed over 20 projects that have addressed the needs of the Excluded and have provided solutions that are truly sustainable, most of which have won international recognition and awards in innovation. For the I-Lab, while technology has been the vehicle and interdisciplinary collaboration has been the fuel, the addition of the excluded communities into the innovation process has been the key ingredient. We are happy to share our experiences and lessons we have learned through this publication.

Climate Change Risk Management Options for the Energy Sector
Authors: Hoagland-Grey Hilary
Published: March 2024

The Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region has a long history of coping with natural hazards such as hurricanes, floods, and coastal storm surges. However, climate change is expected to exacerbate the threat of natural hazards and pose new ones. As a result of climate change, average temperatures and sea levels are known to be rising, precipitation patterns might change, and hurricanes could intensify. Many of these changes are already occurring, and are projected to become more severe in the future. The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) supports a wide-range of projects in the LAC region. Climate change-related risks could adversely affect the financial, economic, environmental, and social performance of current and future IDB investments in the region. This factsheet identifies climate change risks and risk management options that can be incorporated into IDB-investments for the energy sector.
Mobility for All the Link between Gender and Urban Mass Transit: Synopsis
Authors:   Inter American Development Bank
Published: March 2024

Urban mass transit systems should benefit men and women equally, but men and women often have different needs, priorities, and vulnerabilities. For example, women are more likely than men to make multiple stops, to be carrying packages or child-related items, and to be accompanied by children.More than men, they value flexibility over speed, affordable fares, comfort, good lighting, and safety. Systems must take those differences into account if they are to be as useful, accessible, and safe for women as they are for men.
