Definition
- THE STRUCTURALIST school emerged in the late 1940s, and reached its heyday in the 1950s and 1960s, as a school of thought that addressed the problems of development in the Third World, putting itself in the Marxist tradition and against the neoclassical theory. Its focus has been mainly on Latin American countries, although it was later embraced to tackle underdevelopment in African and far east Asian countries as well.
