MANSILLA, H. C. F. Razones dispersas para fundamentar una teoría crítica de la modernización ante las realidades contemporáneas del Tercer Mundo. Enfoques [online]. 2013, vol.25, n.2, pp.33-52. ISSN 1669-2721.
After a permanent connection with the successful western civilization, the Third World countries have striven for an accelerated development since the second half of the 20th century. It brought about the most important social change of all their history. The result is an imitative evolution, which is seen, in most cases, as an own and autonomous development. A critical theory of modernization is relevant in order to analyze the positive and negative aspects of this evolution according to a critically oriented common sense.
