This paper attempts to show that the articulation of the Latin American economy with the industrialized market economy countries, as well as with the socialist countries, reached its peak around the years 1980 and 1981 and that in the same time period until the end of the decade, perhaps until the year 2000, that relationship will remain stagnant. As a result, Latin America will have no choice but to intensify economic cooperation and trade within the continent and, to a lesser extent, with the countries of Africa and Asia. With this in mind, the main trends of the current economic situation in Latin America and its structural problems are analyzed; its articulation with the economy of the United States, Western Europe, Japan, the socialist countries of Central and Eastern Europe, to finally draw conclusions about a new world economic order.
