In the final plenary session, the professors Eduardo Crespo, from Univ. of Rio de Janeiro; Matías Vernengo from Univ. of Utah;  talked about the theorical and empirical inconsistences of the "new developmentalism" approach. However, many scholars in the region have  this  economic view, like Professor Bresser Pereira and Professor Frenkel- who based their economic policy mainly in exchange rate devaluation plus a fiscal adjustement as a proper development policy to our countries.

Franklin Serrano from Univ. of Rio de Janeiro in a similar view of Crespo and Vernengo, talked about the Changes in the  international order and the current South American Economic Situation in relationship to the entrance of China to the global market scenario and its cost effect, the proceses of nationalism of resources in developing countries and improvement of real wages in our region.
