The crisis of globalization has given renewed topicality to the idea of development as a complex process involving social and institutional changes as well as a variety of democratic learning processes. Placed at the margin of the international academic and political debate, the political economy of development can come back into its own if academics and politicians responsible for the economy are forced to think for the long term. The political economy of development needs to be twinned with politics so that what we understand by the general interest can be reconfigured in pursuit of freedom, justice and democracy. These can be the keys to turning globalization, whose essence is openness and interdependence, into an active agent in the development of national density, something that is indispensable if we are to think critically about reality and, as Prebisch taught and practised, set history on a future-creating course.

La evolución del paradigma de desarrollo sostenible hacia la enumeración integrada de las áreas económicas, sociales y ambientales, las cuales en su conjunto impactan sobre la calidad de la vida humana, facilita una mejor articulación entre el desempeño económico, social y ambiental del sector transporte y el progreso hacia el desarrollo sostenible. En la actualidad, más que continuar a sostener y justificar el vínculo general entre transporte y desarrollo, hace falta identificar cómo y bajo cuáles condiciones el sector de transporte puede brindar una contribución necesaria al logro de los objetivos post-2015. En este contexto, el presente documento busca ofrecer una visión del transporte marítimo basada en el contexto y los requerimientos del nuevo paradigma de desarrollo sostenible. Desde esta perspectiva, el documento evalúa los retos para los puertos de la región de América Latina, enfocándose en el desafío de la sostenibilidad en su sentido más amplio, y plantea la necesidad de cambios profundos de las políticas portuarias —cambios paradigmáticos que requieren una nueva gobernanza portuaria en la región.

En este documento se analiza la cadena de valor del turismo en el Departamento de Sacatepéquez, Guatemala, a partir de la generación de nuevos productos y destinos en algunos municipios rurales que rodean la cabecera departamental de Antigua. Se examinan los aspectos generales de la industria del turismo a nivel mundial, centroamericano y guatemalteco. También se detallan las características del Departamento de Sacatepéquez y de la cadena de valor de Antigua junto con la descripción de destinos/productos turísticos en los municipios seleccionados. Con posterioridad, se presentan los eslabones principales que conforman la cadena. A continuación se realiza un análisis de mercado y estándares en el turismo nacional y en Antigua como marco para el estudio de la gobernanza y los vínculos intereslabones, poniendo de relieve el papel del Instituto Guatemalteco de Turismo y los desafíos de articulación con los gobiernos locales que integran la oferta turística. Se exponen también los recursos, la productividad y la sostenibilidad ambiental, así como las principales restricciones identificadas para el escalamiento económico y social. Las restricciones se estudian en términos sistémicos y por eslabón, y luego se las agrupa en cuatro categorías: restricciones sectoriales, de mercado, institucionales y de conectividad internacional y transporte interno. Por último, se exponen conclusiones y se señalan los próximos pasos para resolver las restricciones y estimular el escalamiento.

La industria de bienes de capital es esencial para el desarrollo tecnológico y para garantizar un crecimiento económico a largo plazo sin restricciones externas. En el Brasil, después de un largo período de estancamiento, las inversiones volvieron a crecer a partir de 2003, dando nuevo impulso a la industria de bienes de capital. Sin embargo, se trata de una industria bastante heterogénea; mientras que en algunos sectores no se logró cubrir la expansión de la demanda, esto fue posible en otros que evidenciaron un elevado potencial tecnológico, como los proveedores de máquinas para las industrias del petróleo, la minería y la construcción, y los fabricantes de equipos de transporte y de generación y distribución de energía eléctrica. Esos sectores continuaron expandiéndose incluso en el período posterior a la crisis mundial de 2008 y casi no fueron afectados por la competencia internacional.

This article contains a theoretical and policy analysis of the financial constraints on economic development in developing countries. Following a Keynesian interpretation, it concludes that financial policies are needed to relieve these constraints, given the natural tendency of financial systems to operate in ways that are dysfunctional to economic development. It then proposes three lines of policy that take account of the special characteristics of developing countries: resource allocation policies targeted at segments of strategic importance for economic and financial development; policies to control financial and external fragility; and compensatory policies of a more interventionist cast, in particular directed credit programmes for both public- and private-sector lending to complement resource allocation policies, and countercyclical regulatory barriers so that fragility can be better controlled.

Introduction The social agenda is long-term in nature, in the sense that poverty alleviation along with a better distribution of income, wealth and opportunities are long-term goals. A sound macroeconomic policy, on the other hand, has to do largely with the consistent management of short-term policy instruments pursuing a sustainable and predictable pace for aggregate economic variables and major prices (wages, inflation, interest rates and exchange rates). In spite of the different arena and rationale in which they play, there are strong links between the two. First and most obvious, macroeconomic adjustment and structural reform are more likely to be sustainable when they are equitable. Second, social intervention —i.e., policies, programmes and reforms aimed at improving social performance in the long run—, needs stable funding which is not always available in view of macroeconomic constraints. Third, macroeconomic instability —especially episodes of recession or hyperinflation— increases poverty and inequality, while restoring macroeconomic equilibrium does not restore previous social balances. Finally, there is no unique macroeconomic policy mix to tackle a given situation, and the policy options may not be neutral from a social standpoint. Monetary, fiscal and exchange rate policies, together with structural reform, have major consequences for the social wellbeing of societies, not only in terms of protection against shocks and crises but also in terms of equity. Many, if not all, of the necessary social policies are of a domestic nature. This report thus concentrates on domestic strategies aimed at maximizing the linkages between consistent macroeconomic policies and social progress. Pursuing them, however, depends to a considerable extent on the international enabling environment in which the global financial system, the unsettled debt crisis and increasing ODA flows play a significant role. Countries operate in a world economy where market players everywhere immediately scrutinize domestic monetary, financial or fiscal policy decisions and the performance of exchange rate regimes of individual countries. Under these conditions, the room for manoeuvre of policymakers has become considerably constrained. Consequently, it is becoming increasingly complex to incorporate the social dimensions into such policy decisions, to the extent that external analysts consider that authorities are sacrificing sound macroeconomic policies. The main message of the report is that the expediency of short-term economic efficiency as embedded in much of the advice on macroeconomic stability needs to be tempered by long-term development objectives. The report starts with a short historical background which describes the ascendancy of macroeconomic policies over social development policies (chapter I). It continues with an evaluation of the relation between macroeconomic consistency and social effort (chapter II), and the importance of sustainable and stable growth for social progress (chapter III). The report then turns to the need for an equity-enhancing growth strategy (chapter IV) and an analysis of the priorities of social policies in an integrated approach to growth (chapter V). The final chapter adds some final institutional remarks.
