RESUMO

The ECLAC (Economic Commission for Latin America and Cariben) is the object of this exploratory study. There will be two distinct moments presented and treated here: the "thirty glorious years" of the Latin American development, 1950 to 1980 - which will appear here in the discussion about the "old ECLAC"; and, after 1980, in the crisis of Latin American development, when neoliberalism becomes the guideline for policy recommendations and is defined as the preponderant principle for developing countries - the ECLAC appears in this phase as the "new ECLAC". How does the "new ECLAC" differ from the "old ECLAC"? What caused the rupture? Which are the differences between one political economic scenery and the other? And, how does the ECLAC react to the neoliberal policy recommendations? These are some of the questions we will approach throughout this work. The main issues of our research regard two aspects: on one side, the role of the State in different historical moments, and, on the other side, the theories of development. Which is then the role proposed by ECLAC to the State in the end of the XXth century and beginning of XXIth century? How does it contrast with the role attributed to the State in the end of 40s and beginning of the 50s? The same questions can be asked about the conceptions of economic development: which are the new strategies for the development of Latin America and how do they differ from the old ones? The questions that led us to this study, however, are more complex: which is the relation between ideas and facts? How can the facts change the ideas? How do the ideas interfere with human action?
