  The purpose of this systematic review is to identify and describe the state
of development literature published in Latin America, in Spanish and English,
since 2010. For this, we carried out a topographic review of 44 articles
available in the most important bibliographic indexes of Latin America,
published in journals of diverse disciplines. Our analysis focused on analyzing
the nature and composition of literature, finding a large proportion of
articles coming from Mexico and Colombia, as well as specialized in the
economic discipline. The most relevant articles reviewed show methodological
and thematic diversity, with special attention to the problem of growth in
Latin American development. An important limitation of this review is the
exclusion of articles published in Portuguese, as well as non-indexed
literature (such as theses and dissertations). This leads to various
recommendations for future reviews of the development literature produced in
Latin America.
