¿Se hace camino al andar? Las estrategias de desarrollo, los ODM y la paradoja China

Abstract

During the past two decades the development debate has raised several controversies that somehow represent different visions about the temporary or structural nature of the problems faced. This has had different responses, both in academia and in the social and political fields. The paper analyzes the extent of such disputes, examining the strategy based on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and its real meaning in terms of development. To do this, we take the data relating to China in order to examine both the relationship of the MDGs with the changes in terms of poverty, and the impact of the Chinese model in other variables such as inequality and environmental sustainability.
