Abstract
One important feature of the mid-20th century was the unfolding of a policy agenda characterized by the inclusion of the development question. The setting up of a global institutional framework to deal directly with development issues ignited a research agenda on the subject that included economic, social and cultural processes of production and knowledge creation and use in an integrated manner. Arguably, one of the most influential schools of thought on development during this period was the Latin American Structuralist Approach (LASA), which grew from debates at the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America (ECLA), established in 1948.
