En este artículo se analiza la primera década de existencia del Instituto Latinoamericano de Planificación Económica y Social (ILPES). Si bien podría sostenerse que toda la historia del Instituto, y de la CEPAL, estuvieron marcadas por la figura de Raúl Prebisch, ello es más cierto todavía en el mencionado periodo, que va desde julio de 1962 hasta enero de 1973, durante el cual ejerció la función de Director General. La historia del ILPES se configuró de la mano de Raúl Prebisch, y es en el recorrido de este nexo que se visualiza cómo fueron cambiando las condiciones iniciales, las alianzas, los actores, los compromisos que sumados a una continua crisis de dirección desencadenaron una serie de eventos que repercutieron en la edificación de este organismo.This article analyzes the first decade of the Latin American and Caribbean Institute for Economic and Social Planning (ILPES). Although it can be argued that the entire history of the Institute and that of ECLAC were framed by the figure of Raul Prebisch, this is particularly true for the period from July 1962 to January 1973 when he was Director General. The history of ILPES was shaped by the hand of Raul Prebisch, and in reviewing this connection it is possible to visualize changes in the initial conditions, alliances, actors, and compromises that together with a continuous leadership crisis produced a series of events that affected the construction of this organization.

American Labor

The history of Latin America cannot be understood without analyzing the role played by labor movements in organizing formal and informal workers across urban and rural contexts.This chapter analyzes the history of labor movements in Latin America from the nineteenth to the twenty-first centuries. After debating the distinction between “working class” and “popular sectors,” the chapter proposes that labor movements encompass more than trade unions. The history of labor movements is analyzed through the dynamics of globalization, incorporation waves, revolutions, authoritarian breakdowns, and democratization. Taking a relational approach, these macro-dynamics are studied in connection with the main revolutionary and reformist strategic disputes of the Latin American labor movements.

Extreme Media

Since 2004 and for the first time in the history of broadcasting in the region, a dozen Latin American countries have acknowledged community radio and television stations as legal providers of audiovisual communication services. In Argentina, a law passed in 2009 not only awarded legal recognition to the sector, it also provided a promotion mechanism for community media. In this respect, it was one of the most ambitious ones in the region. The driving question is: How relevant are public policies for the sustainability of community media in Argentina? The argument is: even though the sector of community media has developed and persisted for decades in illegal conditions imposed by the state, the legalization and promotion policies carried out by the state from the perspective of human rights in a context of extreme media ownership concentration have been critical to the growth and sustainability of non-profit media.

Imported malaria has increased in Colombia since 2015 and has been attributed to migrants coming from Venezuela. We present a series of malaria cases, nested in a retrospective cross-sectional study between 2017 and 2018, aimed at calculating the prevalence of medical diseases among immigrants in a University Hospital in Colombia. Among 154 immigrants admitted for medical causes between 2017 and 2018, 8 were diagnosed with malaria, all due to Plasmodium vivax. Of these, seven had uncomplicated malaria, five had a previous history of malaria, one was critically ill, but none died. We highlight that, similar to other case series of imported malaria, Latin American migrants were young, with similar clinical profiles, having a low proportion of severe cases, and P. vivax was the most frequent cause.
