description Using Karl Polanyi’s analytical instrument, I argue that the current withdrawal of the industrialized powers and the emergence of alternative policies in Latin America are determined by the crisis of the neoliberal model. The polarity between democracy and the market, observed since the beginnings of liberal capitalism, has deepened since the inter-war period due to the appearance of so-called “mass democracy.” Since that period, foreign policies of industrialized countries have derived from social conflict caused by this polarity. Current neoliberalism, which favors the limitation of democracy in favor of the self-regulating global market, is a system that contains inherent contradictions on financial and socio-political levels. These contradictions are the cause of the current crisis in the United States and the European Union, a crisis that favors the beginning of a new era characterized by greater regional planning and a plurality of development paths.

Using Karl Polanyi’s analytical instrument, I argue that the current withdrawal of the industrialized powers and the emergence of alternative policies in Latin America are determined by the crisis of the neoliberal model. The polarity between democracy and the market, observed since the beginnings of liberal capitalism, has deepened since the inter-war period due to the appearance of so-called “mass democracy.” Since that period, foreign policies of industrialized countries have derived from social conflict caused by this polarity. Current neoliberalism, which favors the limitation of democracy in favor of the self-regulating global market, is a system that contains inherent contradictions on financial and socio-political levels. These contradictions are the cause of the current crisis in the United States and the European Union, a crisis that favors the beginning of a new era characterized by greater regional planning and a plurality of development paths. A partir de la utilización del instrumental analítico de Karl Polanyi, argumento que tanto la actual retirada de las potencias industrializadas como la emergencia de alternativas políticas en Latinoamérica están determinadas por la crisis del modelo neoliberal. Desde los inicios del capitalismo liberal se observa una polaridad entre democracia y mercado que se acentúa desde el período de entreguerras por la aparición de la llamada “democracia de masas”. A partir de aquella época, las políticas externas de los países industrializados se han derivado del conflicto social causado por dicha polaridad. El neoliberalismo actual, que favorece la limitación de la democracia en pos del mercado global autorregulado, es un sistema que contiene contradicciones inherentes, a nivel financiero y sociopolítico. Estas contradicciones son la causa de la crisis, actual en Estados Unidos y la Unión Europea; una crisis que propicia el comienzo de una nueva era caracterizada por mayor planificación regional y una pluralidad de vías de desarrollo.
