Central America: Bases for a reactivation and development policy
Author: United NationsSince the beginning of the present decade, and not withstanding a slight revival recorded in the majority of countries in 1984, Central America has been sunk in the deepest economic depression and shaken by the most serious political upheavals of the last half-century. The climate of instability and confusion which is prevailing seriously hampers the search for solutions to political as well as social and economic problems, yet the search for such solutions is the greatest challenge facing Central Americans today, and one which cannot be put off any longer.

Thoughts on industrialization, linkage and growth
Author: United NationsThis article discusses some issues which ought to be taken into consideration in the preparation of a new industrialization strategy that will make it possible to deal with internal disequilibria and face up to the predictable international situation in the coming years. The first section expounds the concept of linkage, which is regarded as the most significant of the attributes differentiating the productive and social structures of the advanced countries from those of the countries of the Latin American region. In the former, the characteristic feature is organic and interdependent growth of the various parts of the industrial complex, and in the latter, a transplantation of fragments of that structure which leaves in external hands complementary aspects of crucial importance for the functioning of the whole.
