Los Escenarios Geopolíticos en América Latina en la Crisis del Modelo Neoliberal

Abstract

Today it is widely known that the neoliberal model of capitalism has entered a deep crisis. In this crisis we find ourselves in heterogeneity of realities and possibilities which, however, it has been interweaving as solutions to the crisis of the neoliberal capitalist system since the end of the 20th century and it has gone deeper into the 21st century.

Solutions with alternative models such as the joint, a kind of socialism with capitalism regulated by the State; but on the case of Latin America, that we are discussing, we find three trends: first, can be characterized by “Socialist” of the 21st century, a strong welfare State with a neoliberal economic model governed by the State; a second trend, it can be characterized of neo-socialdemocracy, a neo-liberal economic model governed by the State; a third trend, with strong Orthodox neo-liberal foundations of the World Bank, IMF and the US, where the State does not regulate or control the market, and, on the other hand, appears and market as regulator and controller of the State. These trends in response to the crisis of the neoliberal capitalist system in Latin America we can see the transformation of the State in three directions: a first direction, towards a social-politic State, communal, indo-American with broad social movements; a second direction, towards a social democratic State; and a third direction, towards a more neo-liberal, free market state persistence, exclusionary and classist.
