This study looks at some specific questions involved in the discussion surrounding deindustrialization in Brazil and delves into aspects of the theoretical-historical debate on deindustrialization found in literature on economic development. The first part emphasizes some elements of this debate in specialized literature, discussing theoretical aspects of the Kaldorian formulation and stressing the role of industrial growth and structural changes in the growth of capitalist economies. The second organizes and analyzes some recent performance indicators for the Brazilian industrial sector. Finally, this study offers some brief conclusions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

En este trabajo se analiza la desindustrialización en El Salvador, un fenómeno que afecta a los países de América Latina desde los años ochenta y tiene repercusiones en términos de estancamiento económico y pérdida de empleos de calidad. En la primera sección se presenta una reseña de la literatura seleccionada sobre este tema. A continuación se examinan las causas de la desindustrialización en El Salvador, en primer lugar la posibilidad de que las remesas ocasionen un fenómeno de enfermedad holandesa. Descartada esta hipótesis, se examinan las repercusiones de las reformas económicas llevadas a cabo en los años noventa y, mediante la estimación de ecuaciones de cointegración, se encuentra evidencia de que la extrema apertura comercial constituye el motivo principal de la contracción de los sectores de bienes transables. El trabajo termina con una serie de recomendaciones y conclusiones. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The new commercial globalization changed the map of the global industry. Today's world is different from yesterday. North does not dominate South in the same way. In the South there are large heterogeneities between developing countries, the emerging Asian and Latin American countries, etc. Some countries in the South have come to impose their own rules. However, not all emerging economies in the South have the same capacity prevail, as Latin America. Some Asian countries benefit temporarily from high growth, but experience a process of deindustrialization that weakens them. Some theories and analytical tools have become outdated or inaccurate, such as the center-periphery approach. Countries that yesterday belonged to the periphery have acquired characteristics of the old center and even exercise control over developed countries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
