Abstract

In view of the extent and generalization of the government proposals on the new industrial clusters in Latin America, which are the result of different schools of thought in the academic circles, this article makes a critical revision of the literature in the region. The central axis guiding this critique is Immanuel Wallerstein’s and the circulationists’ center- periphery perspective, as well as the recent contributions on Gary Gereffi’s value chains. On the basis of critical revision, the elements of an explanatory, unfinished proposal are sketched, about the territorialization of recent manufacturing in Latin America, within the framework of a probable temporary exit of the crisis, which marks the capital.
