Resumo: This article aims to (re)visit the concept of dependency as a category of investigation of (and from) Latin America, by means of a decolonial critical historical perspective, in order to increase space for debates on organization studies and promote alternatives to the neoliberal order. This essay will focus on dependency studies conducted by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) during the 1950s and early 1960s. The decolonial perspective is a theoretical construction by Latin American authors who deem themselves as heirs of the long-standing tradition of critical social thought in the region, where the dependency theory is situated. The proposals of dependency authors challenged the main orthodox theories from the North produced at that time. Through the concept of center-periphery, the denunciation of asymmetries in the relations between these regions, and the recognition of interdependency between development and underdevelopment, the concept of dependency was (re)elaborated along the 1950s and 1960s by many Latin American authors as a category of investigation of the reality of (and from) the region. These investigations aimed not only to formulate theoretical constructions, but also to transform reality by creating various organizations and institutions that might serve the purpose of overcoming underdevelopment. Denunciating the historicity of the underdevelopment situation has unveiled the neutrality nature of the economism of theories produced in the North and promoted a theoretical encounter between economics and politics that has much to contribute to the field of organization studies.

Este ensayo se centrará en los estudios de la dependencia realizados por la Comisión Económica para América Latina y el Caribe (CEPAL) durante la década de 1950 y principios de los años 1960. La perspectiva decolonial es un constructo teórico de autores latinoamericanos que se consideran herederos de la larga tradición del pensamiento social crítico de la región, en la que se inserta la teoría de la dependencia. Las propuestas de los autores de la dependencia confrontan las principales teorías ortodoxas del Norte producidas en aquella época. Desde el concepto de centro-periferia, de la queja por las asimetrías en las relaciones entre estas regiones, del reconocimiento de la interdependencia entre desarrollo y subdesarrollo, el concepto de dependencia ha sido (re)elaborado en los años 1950 y 1960 por varios autores latinoamericanos como una categoría de investigación de la realidad de la (y desde la) región. Estas investigaciones tenían como objetivo no sólo elaborar constructos teóricos, sino también transformar la realidad a través de la creación de diversas organizaciones e instituciones que deberían servir para el propósito de superar el subdesarrollo. La queja de la historicidad de la situación de desarrollo ha desnudado el carácter de neutralidad del economicismo de las teorías producidas en el Norte y ha promovido un encuentro teórico entre economía y política que tiene mucho que aportar en el área de los estudios organizacionales.O objetivo deste artigo é (re)visitar o conceito de dependência como categoria de investigação da (e a partir da) América Latina, por meio de uma perspectiva histórica crítica descolonial, a fim de ampliar o espaço de debates em estudos organizacionais e promover alternativas à ordem neoliberal. Este ensaio terá como foco os estudos da dependência realizados pela Comissão Econômica para a América Latina e o Caribe (Cepal) durante a década de 1950 e o início dos anos 1960. A perspectiva descolonial é um constructo teórico de autores latino-americanos que se consideram herdeiros da longa tradição do pensamento social crítico da região, na qual a teoria da dependência está inserida. As propostas dos autores da dependência confrontaram as principais teorias ortodoxas do Norte produzidas à época. A partir do conceito de centro-periferia, da denúncia de assimetrias nas relações entre essas regiões, do reconhecimento da interdependência entre desenvolvimento e subdesenvolvimento, o conceito de dependência foi sendo (re)elaborado nas décadas de 1950 e 1960 por diversos autores latino-americanos como uma categoria de investigação da realidade da (e a partir da) região. Essas investigações tinham por objetivo não somente elaborar constructos teóricos, mas, também, transformar a realidade por meio da criação de diversas organizações e instituições que deveriam servir ao propósito de superar o subdesenvolvimento. A denúncia da historicidade da situação de subdesenvolvimento desnudou o caráter de neutralidade do economicismo das teorias produzidas no Norte e promoveu um encontro teórico entre economia e política que muito tem a contribuir com a área dos estudos organizacionais.Escola Brasileira de Administração Pública e de Empresas da Fundação Getulio Vargas2015-03-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/15852Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 13 No. 2 (2015) - Latin American Critical Thought and Organizational Studies; 237 a 255Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 13 Núm. 2 (2015) - Pensamiento Crítico Latinoamericano y Estudios de la Organización; 237 a 255Cadernos EBAPE.BR; v. 13 n. 2 (2015) - Pensamento Crítico Latino-Americano e Estudos Organizacionais; 237 a 2551679-3951reponame:Cadernos EBAPE.BRinstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/15852/44894Copyright (c) 2015 Cadernos EBAPE.BRinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessWanderley, Sergio2023-02-23T19:22:05Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/15852Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebapehttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/oaicadernosebape@fgv.br||cadernosebape@fgv.br1679-39511679-3951opendoar:2024-05-13T09:59:50.201241Cadernos EBAPE.BR - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true
