Beskrivelse
Summary:Latin America as a geographic and epistemic place with multiple characteristics has produced tensions towards modernity/coloniality. From this, the essay aims to understand the relationship between the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) and the decolonial perspective. Two approaches originating in Latin America that focus on social, political, economic, and environmental issues. Therefore, the path taken seeks, from a socio-historical perspective, to understand these perspectives from their main intellectuals, contexts and proposals. Finally, it is concluded that these are perspectives of thought that, despite the diverse and distinct paths, have objectives that intertwine and dialogue. Understanding approaches and relationships made it possible to highlight important aspects in the search for alternatives to the hegemonic rationality of exclusions and dependencies imposed and perpetuated since colonization.
