TRAVELA, Juan Carlos. The neodevelopmentalist labyrinth. Back to heterodoxy for socio-environmental sustainability. Prob. Des [online]. 2023, vol.54, n.215, pp.3-26.  Epub Mar 18, 2024. ISSN 0301-7036.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iiec.20078951e.2023.215.70023.

In Argentina, there is a clear consensus between neoliberals and neo-developmentalists regarding the increase of exports as the first step towards development, consolidating the political and economic power held by the exporting business elite and, at the same time, creating an unsustainable development path in socio-environmental terms. A labyrinth with no way out. This paper has set out to retrace this labyrinth, building bridges between different currents of economic heterodoxy that enable the construction of an exit. The powerful consolidation of neodevelopmentalism at the academic and political level in Argentina shows the relevance of this discussion, which transcends national boundaries to become a global development problem due to the elements at stake.

Keywords : export mandate; development; development problems; neoliberalism; neodevelopmentalism.
