Insights da industrialização tardia da periferia capitalista a partir das reflexões de Alice Amsden e Deepak Nayyar

Abstract

The reflection built within the scope of this work about the late industrialization of the capitalist periphery, based mainly on the analyzes of Alice Amsden (2009) and Deepak Nayyar (2014), aims to point out the differences found in the industrializing strategies committed by peripheral countries Latin America and some countries on the Asian periphery, which ended up having a major impact on the results achieved, in terms of allowing or not the consolidation of the effort towards industrialization, represented by the success in reaching the technological frontier, breaking technological dependence and all other dependencies that result from it (such as financial and cultural). Although it cannot be ignored that the neoliberal turn represented an embargo on the industrializing strategies of almost the entire periphery, given its anti-developmental character, the reflection proposed in the present work seeks to point out internal elements of the strategies involved, which contributed to their inability to generate the conclusion of the technological pairing sought. However, one cannot lose sight of the fact that the actions implemented were conditioned by historical, geographical and structural elements of each country/territory, that is, they were not the result of a voluntary choice.
