This article tells the story of how an important group of social scientists in Latin America turned away from the problems of underdevelopment to the possibilities for democracy. It focuses on a network of leading Latin American intellectuals and their North American counterparts brought together by material stringencies as well as intellectual and political concerns arising from the sweeping wave of authoritarianism in the region. Brokered by private institutions and mediated by personal encounters, the decade-long endeavors of the network reveal the mechanisms through which social scientific paradigms are undone and refashioned.

Resumen

Resumen

Este ensayo muestra cómo un grupo destacado de científicos sociales transformó el prolongado interés por el problema del subdesarrollo de América Latina en una preocupación por la democracia. Específicamente, el artículo trata sobre una red de intelectuales latinoamericanos y sus pares norteamericanos que se gesta tanto a partir de las dificultades materiales creadas por la creciente ola de regímenes autoritarios en la región como por el conflicto político e intelectual generado por la misma. El estudio de la formación de esta red, tejida a través de relaciones personales y con la mediación de fundaciones privadas, muestra los mecanismos a través de los cuales se deshacen y se rehacen los paradigmas científico-sociales. En este caso, se estudia la interacción entre dos conceptos fundacionales de las ciencias sociales latinoamericanas: dependencia y regímenes burocrático-autoritarios. Se presenta, por tanto, un análisis de la economía política de la producción de ideas así como de las ideas sobre economía política en un momento en que los modelos de capitalismo nacional y las ideas sobre desarrollo estaban siendo cuestionados a nivel mundial.
