La relación asimétrica Europa y Tercer Mundo: un tema weberiano en debate

Abstract

The study makes a brief review of the contemporary evolution in the Developing Countries by using as a reference what Max Weber called the exceptionality of the European evolution, which has represented the great peculiarity around the world: the specialization of roles and functions, the rationalization of daily life and the application of these principles to the fields of knowledge, law, administration and economics, and that have had to do directly with the generation of prosperity in the long term and in favor of wide social layers. On the other hand, the processes of modernization in the Developing Countries try to create an original and own order that helps to establish a solid identity distinguishable from other politic-social regimes. But the global result is a model of mediocrity and imitation. Is this imitation of the western paradigm a mandatory law for evolution? The interpretation of this asymmetric relation is guided by the prudence and based on the experience which judges according to what is probable, feasible and reasonable and that does not exempt the need of emitting appraising judgments?
