Development Paradigm

The article considers cooperation patterns between the European Union (EU) and CELAC (Community of Latin America and the Caribbean) in the context of creatively applying this experience to a broader topic of Russia - Latin America multilevel cooperation. The concept of sustainable development, which implies interaction in accordance with its three main dimensions: environmental, social and economic, is adopted on the global level. The interaction between EU and CELAC contributes to the progress in achieving the goals of sustainable development, where a lot of attention is paid to the green economy, alternative energy, and social aspects, since the environmental aspects constraints are providing the most significant impetus to structural changes in the existing development paradigm. This in return is expected to create a model that ensures economic growth based on a green economy, alternative energy, with greater equality and social inclusiveness. At supranational level in the European Union an effective and systemic policy has been formed in the field of nature conservation and combating climate change, which without a doubt can be considered one of the most progressive ones in the world, which creates potential for sharing these experiences with less developed and fortunate nations. European programs for Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries have become an important factor in the development of interregional cooperation in environmental protection, biodiversity conservation, and countering natural disasters. The article also focuses on the most recent changes that have occurred in the sphere of interaction between CELAC and EU in the context of COVID-19 pandemic. Massive structural and conceptual changes that have seriously reshaped the priorities and funding of joint programmers between two organizations reflects new priorities for sustainable development in general when it comes to new world realities in post-pandemic world, and could be useful for Russian model for the relations with this region.

Resumen. En el presente trabajo se pretende exponer cómo el enfoque del Desarrollo Territorial debe ser parte de las acciones globales por un mundo más justo, sostenible y solidario. Por ello he tratado de vincular en este texto las argumentaciones críticas y los movimientos sociales surgidos contra la crisis financiera, económica y social en los países desarrollados, con los movimientos sociales y socio-ambientales que se han levantado en América Latina y en otras partes del mundo en estas últimas décadas. A partir de una amplia y profunda reflexión teórica, derivada de la experiencia profesional adquirida en la promoción de iniciativas de Desarrollo Económico Local, tanto desde el punto de vista teórico (al desempeñar labores de docencia y asesoría a múltiples administraciones públicas) como práctico (a través de la investigación-acción), se desarrolla una sintética explicación sobre el paradigma de desarrollo predominante y la crisis climática actual, recogiendo las proyección sobre el calentamiento global que dicho paradigma supone, para avanzar en la necesidad de cuestionar el libre comercio internacional. A partir de esta exposición, y tomando como caso el ejemplo de América Latina y El Caribe, se apunta cómo opera el “nuevo” modelo extractivo exportador y la acumulación por desposesión de bienes comunes (salud, educación, vivienda, necesidades básicas) y bienes comunes naturales (acceso al agua, medioambiente, biodiversidad, calidad de vida), para finalizar apostando por la construcción de un paradigma de desarrollo alternativo a través de acciones concretas, presentadas como futuras líneas de acción pública, privada y social.   Palabras clave: América latina, desarrollo económico local, calentamiento global, libre comercio internacional, bienes comunes.   Abstract. This paper aims to explain how the approach to territorial development should be part of global actions for a fairer, more sustainable and more united world. Therefore, I have tried to link in this text the critical arguments and social movements that have emerged against the financial, economic and social crisis in developed countries, with the social and socio-environmental movements that have arisen in Latin America and other parts of the world in recent decades. From a wide and deep theoretical reflection, derived from the professional experience acquired in the promotion of Local Economic Development initiatives, both from the theoretical point of view (when carrying out teaching and advising tasks to multiple public administrations) and practical (through research-action), a synthetic explanation is developed on the predominant development paradigm and the current climate crisis, gathering the projections on global warming that such paradigm implies, in order to advance in the need to question international free trade. Based on this presentation, and taking the example of Latin America and the Caribbean as a starting point, it points out how the "new" extractive export model operates and the accumulation by dispossession of common goods (health, education, housing, basic needs) and natural common goods (access to water, environment, biodiversity, quality of life), to finish by betting on the construction of an alternative development paradigm through concrete actions, presented as future lines of public, private and social action.   Key words: Latin America, local economic development, global warming, free international trade, common goods.
