Abstract

Existen tres paradojas contemporáneas en relación con las trayectorias de desigualdad que merecen explicación. Aquí se propone y aplica un enfoque socioeconómico, basado en el concepto de regímenes de desigualdad. Se concluye que las distintas regiones siguen trayectorias disímiles, en tanto han desarrollado regímenes de desigualdad contrastantes que co-evolucionan y son en gran medida complementarios a nivel mundial. A principios de la década de 2010, el desenvolvimiento de economías latinoamericanas más inclusivas fue producto de la interacción entre nuevos avances democráticos internos y el dinamismo de la economía internacional. La posterior contracción del comercio mundial y de los términos de intercambio muestran la fragilidad de esta modesta reducción de la desigualdad./ Three contemporary paradoxes regarding the trajectories of inequality in North America, Europe and Latin America deserve explanations. A common socioeconomic approach is proposed and applied, based upon the concept of inequality regimes. It is concluded that the regions do not follow the same trajectory, since they have developed contrasting inequality regimes that co-evolve and are largely complementary at the world level. In the early 2010s, the more inclusive Latin American economies were the outcome of the interaction between new domestic democratic advances and the dynamism of the international economy. The reversal of the world trade and of the terms of trade shows the fragility of this modest reduction in inequality.
