CEPAL Review marks its fortieth anniversary

The first issue of CEPAL Review was published in the first half of 1976. Forty years have now passed since that inaugural edition, under Raúl Prebisch’s direction, burst onto the academic debate on the development of Latin America and the Caribbean, with novel and heterodox approaches to different facets of, and policies for addressing the region’s problems. These have been four decades of fruitful work which aimed to portray, as accurately as possible, the historical reality of each stage in the development process, together with the structural complexities, the specific conjunctures, and the emergence of new national, regional and global phenomena involved in this process.
