17. CEPAL, The United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America, promulgated a particular structuralist developmentalism. CEPAL-type structuralism emphasized centre-periphery relations to explain underdevelopment. The focus was on regulating international trade policy; this developmentalism flourished from the 1940s to the 1960s.
