Abstract

A partir de la constatacion de que la magnitud de la subnutricion constituye uno de los grandes problemas a escala planetaria para las organizaciones multilaterales de desarrollo, en este articulo se pretende (a) ofrecer una panoramica general de lo que las mas recientes estimaciones estadisticas nos dicen del alcance del hambre en el mundo; (b) proponer una reflexion sobre las incongruencias de los diagnosticos emitidos por decadas para explicarla desde la Economia y la Sociologia del Desarrollo, insistiendo en la recurrencia a la presion demografica y al tradicionalismo como causas principales; (c) analizar las principales consecuencias de las lineas de intervencion impulsadas a tenor de esos diagnosticos; y (d) sondear la viabilidad de quienes senalan razones estructurales profundas para explicar la persistencia de la subnutricion. Abstract: Considering that malnutrition is one of the most important problems to be solved by multilateral development agencies, the main aims of this article are: (a) to present an overview of the recent statistics about the levels of starvation around the world; (b) to detail the misunderstanding of Economy and Development Sociology based on the demographic pressure and the maintenance of tradition; (c) to analyze the consequences of the intervention policies, and (d) to present the theories that pro-pose the importance of inner structural reasons to explain the situation
