Abstract

This paper seeks to identify why Colombian industry was lagging at the time of its economic opening, as well as to identify the causes of failure of the Import Substitution Industrialization (ISI) model. To this end, two economic models seeking industrialization in Colombia are presented and contrasted. The impact of the post-1991 “aperturist” economic opening model is examined through several indicators, to elucidate the causes of the failure of the ISI model. This work is mainly inspired by the publications of Misas Arango, Bértola and Ocampo.
