Synopsis

The State and corporatist structures created in several countries in Europe and Latin America since the 1930s were not only considered outdated and in need of reforms during the neoliberal wave that imposed on these same regions in the 1980s and 1990s, but seen, above all, as a legacy of an authoritarian past and a factor of crisis and delay in the economic development of countries such as Portugal, Spain, Brazil, and Argentina.

Contrary to what many economists and social scientists then said, the liberal and privatizing reforms of those times did not represent a safe path for the development of these or other nations, which remains an important challenge for their governments today. In this sense, therefore, as the studies gathered here point out, corporatism is not defined as a model of regulation and mediation of interests strictly associated with authoritarian or fascist regimes of the interwar period or as an obstacle to the full development of market capitalism in the contemporary world, but in the form of regulation and economic and social intervention of the State compatible or adaptable to different regimes and times.
