Abstract

This research examines the characteristics of the development of Latin America in light of its progressive insertion in the world capitalist system. The examination of this socio-historical process should allow us to delineate the probable development alternatives for Latin America. Although the main aspect of the research should focus on the study of the development of the progressive implementation of Latin American social formations, we start from the premise that the framework within which the possible development alternatives will be carried out is excessively determined by the actions of the great power blocks dominated by the great powers worldwide.
